These fun skeletons are made of several types of dried pasta, including spaghetti, shells, macaroni and more. This project is appropriate for all ages and is a great craft for Halloween!

You will need

dry pasta (elbows, spaghetti, spirals, bowties, shells, lasagna, etc.)
black construction paperglue
What you do
Begin laying out a pasta skeleton on the paper.

Small tube pasta pieces work well for the spine, while bits of lasagna noodles make super hipbones.

Spirals or spaghetti are great for arm and leg bones, while small shells are perfect for wrists and ankles.

Macaroni pasta is ideal for ribs and angel hair pasta pieces are all you need for hand and foot bones.

Once you are pleased with the layout, then it is time to start gluing all of the pieces down in place.

When you are finished, try creating more skeletons in different poses. These make fabulous window decorations for Halloween night!
