Sparkle Snowflake Pasta Ornament
Create a gorgeous snowflake with fun and unexpected materials. The Sparkle Snowflake Pasta Ornament is a fun project that combines matte and sparkly materials. The yellow color of pasta gives the ornament a vintage look, and the sparkly rhinestones really make the project pop. Add a glittery snowflake in the center to bring together the entire look. Add a unique ornament to your tree this year that will have guests asking you all about it! The best ornaments are homemade, and this one is one for the books.
A Note from the Designer: "I was looking for something easy that was bright and shiny with a vintage look. I think I found it."

Instructions
-
Glue 2 pieces of penne together to form a V on one end a point on the other end. Repeat to make 8.
-
On a flat surface form an X with 4 of the penne, pointed ends in center, glue. Glue the other 4 penne pieces in the center of the V shapes formed by the X. (I use a sheet of foil to form these in case of glue drips.)
-
Glue 8 mini wheels in the spaces between the penne pieces, pushing them in to the place where they hit both sides of the opening.
-
Glue 8 mini wheels to V end of penne. (The wheels do not fit into the V but glue onto the points.)
-
Glue snowflake to center and glue rhinestones to center of wheels. Let dry completely turn over and add a drop of glue at each joint. When dry add hanging cord.
