Stained Glass Pasta

2 Mins Read

You’ll need:

Dry lasagne sheets
Liquid watercolors or food coloring
Rubbing alcohol or white vinegar
Ziploc Bags
Clear contact paper OR
packing tape
Painter’s tape or another easliy removable tape to secure your “window” to your work surface
Black permanant marker
Baking paper or aluminium foil


What to do:

STEP 1

Break your lasagne sheets into pieces. There should be a variety of sizes.

STEP 2

Colour your pasta. This will take about 15 minutes to colour and a few hours to dry.

Divide pasta into freezer bags using one bag for each colour.

Working with one bag at a time, add 1 teaspoon of rubbing alcohol/vinegar to the bag. Close the top and scrunch it around in your hands to distribute the alcohol.

Now add your food colouring to the bag. Again close the top and scrunch it around in your hands to distribute the colour.

Spread the dyed pasta out on a cookie sheet lined with baking paper or aluminium foil and let dry.

    STEP 3

    Cut out two matching sizes of clear contact paper. (We used overlapped packing tape.)

    Remove the backing from one piece of contact paper and tape it your work surface using painter’s tape. The sticky side should be facing UP.

    Place pieces of the coloured lasagne on the contact paper. They can custom break pieces as necessary. Leave at least 60mm gaps between the pieces.

    Remove the backing from the second piece of contact paper and gently place it on top of the finished layout. Gently press down on the gaps with your fingertips to seal.

    STEP 4

    Using a wide tip permanent marker, fill in the gap between the coloured pieces with black for a stained glass effect.

    As bushfires, floods and storms become part of childhood for more Australian families, Sesame Street is stepping in to help.

Sesame Workshop has launched a major new Extreme Weather initiative, headlined by a new Storm on Sesame Street special, designed to help young children prepare for, cope with and recover from severe weather events.

In the special, Elmo and his friends work together to get ready for a big storm, learning how to be prepared, have courage, and calm their bodies and minds when things feel scary. After the storm passes, Sesame Street looks different, and everyone pitches in to help their neighbours rebuild their homes. With the help of the neighbourhood, including celebrity guests Post Malone and comedian Michelle Buteau, Elmo and Abby discover that small acts of kindness, and support from friends, can make the biggest difference of all.
