Tableware and Decor Ideas

Headwaiter Serving Tray - purchase the following items, head mold from a local wig and/or Halloween store and gauze.  Take 10-15 paper towels and 5 gauze strips and dip them coffee and/or tea and let them dry for 2 days.  Then take spray on glue (my favorite) and assemble the head and wine glasses and a few spiders on a silver tray.  (THIS LOOKS AMAZING!!")

Apple Tea lights - (w/ real apples).  Purchase 3-5 apples, tea lights, spider webs and spiders.  Make a hole at the top of the apples, add lemon juice to help with browning, put a tea light inside, spray with glue, add spider webs and spiders and you are done!

Fill a black cauldron with green gelatin, fake hands and eyes and add dry ice (BE VERY CAREFUL). Voila! A great Halloween prop!

Haunted Centerpiece - Take old vases, candleholders. ornate tray, picture frame, metal bowls, pieces of chain etc., black and pewter spray paint, decoupage medium, silver and black glitter, silver candles and dry ice.   Please all of the items on a newspaper, spray paint them black, paint decoupage medium the areas where glitter is desired, let dry and shake off the excess, arrange the item on a tray, add the candles and dry ice.  Add dried roses for a very old gothic effect!
