For a simple necklace to go with sports wear or play clothes, dye a few pieces of macaroni or ziti noodles. To dye the noodles, all you have to do is to mix a few tablespoons of rubbing alcohol with different colored dyes. You then place dry noodles (uncooked) into a plastic bag. Tie the bag tightly and then shake until all the noodles are colored. Take the dyed noodles out and place them on a paper plate or paper towel to dry thoroughly. When all the noodles are dried, get cord or string and string the noodles, alternating colorful pieces. Tie the string closed to finish off the macaroni jewelry.
