Pasta Art

So it's another Friday and it's time for Something For The Weekend hosted by the lovely Christine over at Thinly Spread.

So for this weekend why don't you give pasta art a go! Burton is probably a bit young for this activity really, but I thought I would give it a go anyway!

You will need:

* Pasta shapes as many different colours and shapes as you have

* Glue (I used a washable one which is great as I didn't want me, Burton and the house cover in glue lol!)

*Paper or card or even paper plates
(With paper plates you could make faces, as spaghetti would make great hair!)

Not being particularly artistic myself, my OH 

very kindly drew me a template on the piece 

of card and I chose a 

butterfly as I thought Burton would recognise 

that as we stuck the pasta on.

As soon as we started making our pasta art, Burton grabbed a cannelloni tube and stuck it onto the glue and then kept dabbing the glue onto the butterfly template - he thought this was great fun!






I started adding the pasta, he did help add some bigger pieces but then he tried to remove them :)





So he went back to dabbing more glue everywhere!












Anyway, a butterfly began to emerge and Burton recognised what it was as although he cannot talk yet he pointed to it excitedly and shouted a lot, when I said "butterfly" to him!

Anyway, we got there in the end and as you will see a lot of glue was used but hopefully you can see what it is

Obviously, yours can be much neater but slap dash is ok in this house!
