I’m thinking about trying the Slow-Carb Diet (I might not be able to give up milk, though). This means I have to quit anything white (or could be white) and starchy; to name a few— rice, potatoes, flour, breading, and pasta.
I have a lot of pasta. I went through my kitchen and saw that I had four kinds. After coming across this Penne Statement Necklace tutorial, I knew I had to try it!
You will need:
- Penne
- Cardboard
- Super glue (ByWilma’s tut calls for a glue gun but I find super glue to be less messy)
- Paint (I used pink acrylic) and a brush
- An old chain necklace
- Scissors
- Pen or pencil
How to:
-Paint the penne and wait to dry (took about 10-15 minutes).
-Shoo away curious cat.
-Arrange penne on cardboard and trace. It doesn’t have to be exact.
-Super glue penne on cardboard and to each other.
-Re-paint and carefully cut off visible cardboard if necessary.
-String through chain.
And that’s it! It’s a super easy and quick project and I was able to finish everything while watching the new Iza Calzado soap on ABS-CBN.
THAT is fabulous. I would do this right now if I had acrylic paint in the house! I may also snag this one to do as a campout activity. I’m supposed to do a craft project with the kids. Maybe if I painted a bunch of pasta ahead of time. It wouldn’t be quite as polished but the older kids would learn and could go home and make a better version later.
I think I may do that diet as well. It’s my ideal diet all the time – sort of paleo lite – but I need better motivation to stick with it. (You would think that looking in the mirror would be enough!)

I wish I had more acrylic paint! I only have one jar, the rest are fabric/textile paints. Would love to mix and match colors lol. I would have tried nail polish but I hate the fumes/smell and it would probably be messier.
Here’s a good recipe index for Slow-Carb Diet! http://www.slowcarbfoodie.com/recipe-index/
