Ghoulish Frozen Hands
An absolute must for any Halloween party where there will be refreshments. These can be made well in advance and stored for use on the day.
What you need:
• Latex gloves (one per mould)
• Food colours
• Support for latex glove (optional) - best support would be something with a diameter that allows the glove to fit inside with the wrist section turned over the support to grip it
What you need to do:
1. If using a support, fit the latex glove into it
2. Fill the latex glove with water - clear or coloured
3. If not using a suport make a tight knot at the wrist so that it doesn't leak
4. Freeze for about 24 hours
5. Either gently remove ice hand from the glove or it can be left complete for a truly gruesome effect as the ice melts
6. Use the 'Hands' in bowls of punch or dotted around your refreshments table under salads etc.
Spooky Dinner Guest
A quick and fun addition to any dinner table. Your own Halloween guest direct from the graveyard.......
What you need:
• A full size 3D skeleton
• Spider's cobweb material
• Selection of small plastic spiders and other ghoulish creatures
• Chair
• Length of fishing line
What you need to do:
1. Using the fishing line attach your 3D skeleton to a chair in an upright position
2. Add spider's cobweb material inside the ribcage and around skull - mouth and eye sockets
3. Place the spiders and other ghoulish creatures in the cobwebs ensuring that some appear to be coming through both the mouth and eye sockets for a truly gruesome effect.
Graveyard Buffet Table
A scary buffet table that will really help you set the scene for your Halloween party. Where else would you want to serve your refreshments other than in the middle of a graveyard?
What you need:
• Black sheet or tablecloth roll to cover your table
• A full size 3D skeleton
• Spider's cobweb material
• Selection of small plastic spiders and other ghoulish creatures
• Full size cardboard coffin
• Length of fishing line
• Cold melt glue gun or alternative fixings
What you need to do:
1. Cover your buffet table with he black cloth or table roll
2. Using the glue gun sparingly, fix the spider's cobweb material along the front and sides of the table and stretch to the floor
3. Add some of the siders to the web
4. Place the cardboard coffin on the table
5. With half the coffin lid open, sit the 3D skeleton upright so that it protrudes through the open top. You may need to use the glue gun to complete this.
6. Add spider's cobweb material inside the ribcage and around skull - mouth and eye sockets
7. Place the spiders and other ghoulish creatures in the cobwebs ensuring that some appear to be coming through both the mouth and eye sockets for a truly gruesome effect.
8. Use any remaining cobweb material to run from the edges of the coffin to the table and add any remaining creatures.
9. Arrange your buffet around the coffin - light weight platters can be located on the coffin to see who is really brave....!
