Noodle Bat Necklace
Instructions to make a Halloween bat necklace out of noodles.

Materials Needed:

  • Bow Tie Pasta Noodle
  • Macaroni Noodle
  • Black Paint
  • String (preferably black!)
Instructions:
Paint the noodles black and let them dry. Cut a piece of yarn about 5 inches long. Thread one end of the yarn through the hole in the macaroni noodle and tie it in a knot to the other end. Make sure it is just a little loose because you will be stringing a large piece of yarn through the "loop" of this yarn to make your necklace. Trim off any extra yarn.


Glue the bow tie pasta onto the macaroni noodle as shown in the picture below. Try to hide the knot from the yarn by the bow tie pasta.


Paint a tiny face on your noodle bat and string a longer piece of yarn (you will want this piece of yarn to be able to slide over your head once it is tied) through the "loop" left by the yarn you tied through the macaroni noodle.


For a variation of this idea, use fishing line instead of yarn and you can hang these up as flying bat decorations!
