Place a few macaroni noodles in a zip-top plastic bag.  Add 1 teaspoon of vinegar and 4-5 drops of food coloring.  Mix to distribute the color.  Dye more macaroni in separate bags.  Open the top of the bag and let dry.  Using a star clip art, place a thin layer of glue on the paper.  Add the colored macaroni to create a colorful macaroni star.

 

Oops.  Elmer's glue isn't for eating.  Good thing it's non toxic
