Spring, summer, and fall are my very favorite times of the year. I enjoy working in the yard, sewing, cooking, quilting, gardening, and creating. I do this to keep my sanity. More About sunshiine » In the past I have never measured spaghetti because if I had extra I always used leftovers for the next day. I have noticed that I have more waste now that my family is smaller; so I try to cook just what we will eat that day plus one serving. Using the quarter, nickel, and dime method I came up with this idea.This Instructable is how to make a spaghetti measure so you don't have any waste.

Step 1: What You Will Need

1 Scrap piece of craft foam. 1 Quarter. 1 Nickel. 1 Dime. 1 Marker. Scissors.

Step 2: Method

Place the quarter, nickel,and dime over the foam and draw a circle around each coin.

Step 3: Cutting the Foam

Poke the center of the circles with the scissor point. Trim out the coin shapes.

Step 4: Wash the Foam

Wash the foam piece. Store in a kitchen drawer. The Dime shape is for a small child. The Nickel shape is for a older child. The quarter shape is for an adult with a small appetite. 2 Quarters is for an adult with a hefty appetite.
