Macaroni art is as much a part of Mother's Day as brunch and sentimental cards featuring sunrises.

If you have a mom, chances are that, at some point, you showed your love for her via dry pasta. If you are a mom, you've probably re-glued that one piece of macaroni that keeps falling off the frame hanging in the hallway at least once. While we would never suggest taking the macaroni out of Mother's Day, we do recommend classing it up a little to leave Mom wowed by your mad carb-crafting skillz.

Check out some new twists on the old art of crafting with noodles, or, as we like to call it, Extreme Macaroni Art:
