Spread the colored pasta out on paper towels and sprinkle with glitter as desired. Let it air dry! **Now, Let’s Make the Pumpkins:** 1. In a separate Ziploc bag, mix a few drops of rubbing alcohol with yellow food coloring and a drop of red to achieve a lovely orange shade. 2. Add the wagon wheel pasta, seal the bag, and shake gently to coat the pasta evenly. 3.
