1. |
Paint a large paper plate with the color of your choice. Dark colors such as burgundy, dark blue or green work well with our Italian food theme. |
 |
2. |
You may paint details on your plate such as these stripes along the edges. You may finger paint if you like.
Set the plate aside to dry. |
 |
 3. |
Prepare your own salt dough or use self-hardening clay. |
 |
4. |
Mold the dough into a wedge shape to make a slice of pizza. Make the outer edge a little bit thicker. |
 |
5. |
Prepare colored flour paste. Make an orange-colored paste to mimic tomato sauce and a yellow-colored one for some mozzarella cheese. Load the yellow flour paste into a squeeze bottle. |
 |
6. |
Place the pizza wedge on one side of the plate. Apply some "tomato sauce" (orange flour paste) on the pizza. Leave some sauce for your pasta. |
 |
7. |
Squeeze on the "mozzarella cheese" on top of the tomato sauce. If you don't have a squeeze bottle, you may spoon in the "mozzarella cheese" instead. |
|
 |
8. |
Make pizza toppings by cutting shapes from craft foam or construction paper. Some shapes you can make are red circles for pepperoni, green strips for peppers, white strips for onions and black rings for olives. Decorate your pizza with the toppings. |
 |
9. |
Cut light yellow or white yarn to make spaghetti noodles. Arrange them on the remaining area on your plate. |
 |
10. |
Spoon in some "tomato sauce" on top of the noodles. |
 |
11. |
Sharpen a yellow crayon and sprinkle the shavings on top of the tomato sauce to have some "parmesan cheese" on your pasta. |
 |
12. |
You've just whipped up a superb-looking Italian platter. Remember though that this is just an art work and is not edible! |
