Pasta Fascinator How-To
- Using cardboard or Styrofoam ball as a base, glue pasta into a creative shape with hot glue. We made flowers by arranging 5-6 jumbo shells in a circle.
- Paint fascinators desired color(s). Add finishes such as gloss or glitter, as desired.
- Glue base with pasta design onto headband. Glue felt circle underneath design, sandwiching headband, to secure design and protect hair.

These pasta fascinators are a great idea - even as favors for a bridal shower. Would you please post a video of the segment with close-up pics of those worn by Martha and the audience helpers? Thank you. This has inspired me to design lots of Holiday decorations using pasta.
