Halloween parties are a lot of fun. They allow us to take a break from reality by playing dress up and have a lot of awesome treats to eat and drink. I like to make every aspect of a party as memorable as possible. One way is to dress up the drinks for the kids to make them more fun!
Two Liter Bottles:
A quick and easy way to make two liter bottles more fun is to tear off the labels that comes on them and replace them with
Halloween themed labels you make. You can make labels that say something like Poison Punch for fruit punch, Apple Spider for apple juice, R.I.P Root Beer, Jack-O-Lantern Juice for orange pop, Swamp Water, etc.
Juice Boxes:
A fun way to dress up juice boxes is take the straw off the box and then wrap each one with white crepe paper streamers to look like a mummy. Glue google eyes to the front and you have little mummy juice boxes. You could slide the straw into the crepe paper in the back so the kids can just pull them out when its time to drink. Removing the straw ahead of time will prevent the kids from having to tear open the crepe paper to get to the straw so they can enjoy the cute presentation while they drink.
Small Bottled Drinks:
If you can find small bottles of orange pop you can tear off the label and put a black pumpkin face (eyes, nose, mouth) on the front with stickers, marker or construction paper. Tie some curling ribbon around the top and add a leaf made out of cardstock from a punch or die cut machine or you can cut them out using a leaf clipart as a template. Serve up these little pumpkins at your next party for Halloween or even Thanksgiving and your guests will adore them!
(I personally had a hard time finding orange pop in small bottles so I purchased small bottles of water. I made orange Kool-aid and poured orange Kool-aid into the bottles. The taller glass bottles of Orange Crush also work but they just won't have the round pumpkin affect that the short water bottles have.)
You can also make ghosts out of small bottles that are filled with milk. Remove any labels and add a face in black to make a cute ghost.
