In reply to Charlotte. Thanks for the feedback Charlotte! Did you break them first or dye them first whole? I found that dying them whole and then breaking them made for the most flat pieces. They did curl up in spots when whole but breaking them up afterwards helps.

I’m doing a similar project with my art club and if you use too much liquid to dye the noodles they will curl so be stingy with the food coloring! I’m finding the barilla no boil noodles aren’t translucent enough when colored, they stay really opaque, so I’m going to hit TJs today to see if I can find the ones you used as they look more like traditional pasta. I really don’t want to have to break the curly edge off of hundreds of noodles! We are using dollar store frames and modge podge-ing the noodles onto the glass and then using black puffy paint around the noodles after the modge lodge dries. 2 step project. Just leave the backs off the frames and hang in a window! They look really great and are a bit more finished and durable than the contact paper.

In reply to joyce. Thanks Joyce for the feedback! Our contact paper wasn't too sticky so we didn't face the same frustration but I appreciate hearing your experience!

In reply to Peta. Hmmmmmm....mine dried flat. I'm wondering if there might have had too much liquid and the pasta absorbed it?

I dyed the pasta pieces following instructions but as they dried they curled so would not lie flat. How did u get yours to stay flat?

An attractive display…if the finished art can live through the child’s frustration in dealing with the stickiness of the adhesive paper, the control it takes to fill in all the spaces between the pieces, and the fragility of the noodles! But considering it was entered as part of a pasta art contest…yes, it’s unique and a winner!
