How-To

Pasta Fascinators

Fancy, royal-inspired headpieces made of easy and affordable ... pasta!

Tools and Materials

  • Fabric- or ribbon-covered plain headbands
  • Pasta in a variety of shapes
  • Hot-glue gun and hot-glue sticks
  • Circles cut from cardboard, or half of a small Styrofoam ball
  • Circle cut from felt to match cardboard or Styrofoam
  • Craft paint

Pasta Fascinator How-To

  1. 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.
  2. Paint fascinators desired color(s). Add finishes such as gloss or glitter, as desired.
  3. 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.
