Last week’s winter workshop at Parcel had each guest designing and embellishing a French-inspired papier-mache doll.

These noodles…they wanted to be a craft project! Here are two ideas that use them to good effect, and are quick, easy and inexpensive to boot. These crafts would be fun for children to make, but since mine are too young to do these, I acted as a stunt double on their behalf.
