Are you entertaining this Halloween? Turn your cocktail bar into a "mad
laboratory" by serving scary potions and dressing up the bar with spiders, blood
and dismembered hands.

Halloween Cocktails
We
used old utility car as a beverage bar for a Halloween party. We covered the
cart in spider webbing then filled the bar potions, magic spells and some spooky
decorations.
Make Concoctions
Download and print labels to turn your beverage
bottles into serums, potions and magic spells. Our labels are editable, so
customize them to your desired poison. Use a glue stick to adhere the labels to
the bottles. We used wine and liquor bottles.
Add Flesh & Blood
Cut
a piece of cardboard to fit on the bottom shelf of the cart. Make some bloody
handprints on the cardboard using red craft paint. Add a little oatmeal to the
paint if you want a little more flesh and gore. Let the handprints dry then lay
the cardboard inside the bottom of the cart.
Web It
Stretch the white webbing over the cart, use a
hot-glue gun to attach it the corners and underneath the edges of the cart.
Stretch it out to make it look like a spider web, leave a little room to get to
the bottom shelf of the cart
Add Giant Arachnid
Place large spider on the web to make it look like it
is crawling up the side of the cart. Use a little hot glue if necessary to
attach its feet in place.
Lend a Helping Hand
Place the cut off hands at the end of the cart
(preferably if there is a handle) to make it look like as if they are pushing
it. Use hot glue gun on a couple of the fingers to keep them in place.
Set Up Bar
Place the bottles, glassware and a candle on the top
of the cart. Then arrange the little spiders in and around them.
