This Italian has just about every noodle in my house at all times. I think that there is a noodle for every dish, and I LOVE noodles. So, you can choose which noodles you want to use, or simply use the ideas that I give you.
Materials
- Noodles (spaghetti, mostaccioli, small shells, spiral, macaroni, egg noodles)
- Appetizer or regular paper plate
- Green Felt
- Fake leaves/or real ones
- Rock
- White paint
- Permanent Marker
- Hot Glue Gun
- Scissors
- Paint the rock white
- Place the plate face down on the felt and cut around, leaving about two extra inches to glue on the under side of the plate and account for the dip in the plate.
- Turn the plate back over and line with the hot glue.
- Place the felt evenly along the plate
- Turn the plate back over and glue the flaps down. It may be necessary to cut slits to make it smooth.
- Glue the noodles on the plate per picture. If you choose to put a head on as well (mine is under the tombstone, but my hubby said this is gruesome) I would recommend a wheel noodle or simply make a head with a medium size shell.
- Glue some random dead leaves.
- Write R.I.P and whatever else you choose on the tombstone.
- Place some leaves and a stretched cotton ball above the skeleton, and glue the rock on top.
For the fingers and toes, I used teeny tiny cut spaghetti noodles. I used tiny shells for the joints, spirals for the arm and leg bones, short spaghetti noodles for the ribs, egg noodles for the pelvis (I would have cut in half, but son thought cutting the "ribbon" was mean, and this was for him after all) and mostaccioli for the shoulder blades and spine.
