here is a tutorial for making these colrful stripe backround from... scraps...
1
take a pile of scraps from colors that match (I chose reds) and create a log.
2
place the log face up and cut to 8 sections )the best way to do this is by cutiing in half , then each half to half etc.)
3
make 2 sheets that one of them is black rolled on #5 on your pasta machine. stack .
4
insert the stripes between the scrap log.
5
lay the cane on its side so you'll see only the scrap on top and start stretching towards the sides in order to make it longer in size.
6
cut in halves and stack
7
slice even slices and put them on scrap sheet
8
roll on the thickest setting of your pasta machine and there you have it :-)
