Instructions
Halloween is just around the corner and if you’re planning a party… I’ve got some recycling ideas to make your serving table funny and spooky! By using bottles, jars and cans, with glued on labels and other embellishments, you can make Halloween table decor much more fun!
Check this out:
Print labels
Trim them off…
Glue them onto…
bottles, cans, jars, actually any kind of containers… even wooden fruit crates! Then decoupage over the labels.
These recycled bottles can used for punch, juice, cider, water or whatever your choice beverage is.
A can wrapped with the “Scarecrow Stuffings” label and twine glued on is awesome for pretzel rods, lolly pops, twizzlers, etc.A painted peanut butter jar decorated with rope and an old clip on earring can hold m&ms, candy corn or other treats.
And a spice jar with a satin ribbon tied on can hold tiny candies… like cinnamon buttons.
And the salsa jar is recycled into a “Dried Rat Tails” container… maybe some small pretzel sticks would be funny!
The ideas are endless.
