These super simple and colorful pasta bug crafts are fun to make on their own, or add them to a painting, a paper roll ‘log’, rocks, a diorama, and more.

Tip: If you don’t have pasta that is already dyed, you can use food dye (don’t forget to wear gloves) to dye your pasta. Make sure it is completely dry before you use it.
