Did you know that one piece of spaghetti yields fifteen drawing pencils?
Did you also know that if you have a candle that has burned down so far you can't reach the wick with a match, that you can use a piece of lit spaghetti to reach it?
Spaghetti colored pencils! I thought of doing crayons with a toothpick but I would never have thought of spaghetti. They take the color pretty well... The paint didn't make the pasta soften at all? Or just not enough moisture and heat for that?

I used sharpies.

Very clever! I'm amazed at how good they look.

Whaaaaaa? That's amazing. When I attempted pencils with wood and a knife I ended up with red pencils.....and band aides.

I never thought of using spaghetti! I would worry that critters would want to eat them....???? But not if they are painted I suppose! They look fantastic!

Dang! Those turned out really well - they look like tiny pencils!
