Servings 1 shaker
Cost $1
Equipment
- Elmer's Glue Sticks
- tape (masking tape, duct tape, or packing tape)
- 1/2-1 cup uncooked orzo pasta
- 1 toilet paper roll
- decorating tools (your choice: markers, paint, tissue paper, decals, stickers)
Instructions
- Using masking tape, tape the bottom of a toilet paper roll/tube closed tightly.
- Fill a cardboard tube with the orzo. To minimize the mess, pour the orzo over a plate or empty bowl to catch the falling pieces. Tape the top of the tube closed tightly.
- Decorate your shaker with markers, paint, stickers, decals or tissue paper.
Notes
- If using scotch tape, it might make sense to decorate the shaker before adding in orzo.
- To minimize the mess, pour the orzo over a plate or empty bowl to catch the falling pieces.
- If you don't have tissue paper, decorate your homemade shaker with markers, stickers, paint or even string! The options are endless!
