October was one of my chosen months to create for Toletown ~ a fun gathering place for Creatives! (found on-line here) ~ and the ‘painting topic’ for October was ‘Boo Crew‘. Once I learned of this, the ideas started forming in my mind, and immediately my thoughts were to create a ‘Boo Crew Brew‘…then the ideas kept my mind busy from there.
Creating a Punch Jar Label and coordinated Straw Slides….. and then serving it up with Monster Cookies on the side!
How darling are these ‘Boo Crew Members‘ with their leggings and socks!
Paint your very own ‘Boo Crew Brew‘ Punch Jar Label and coordinated Straw Slides thru an instruction packet and video provided thru Toletown (found here).
Can you imagine creating Mr Froggie and Blackie the Cat as Straw-Slides as well? The ideas keep coming.
Once painted, be sure to fill up your Punch Jar with your favorite Halloween Punch Recipe (click here for a few idea on Pinterest).
Then add the Straw-Slides to each glass and serve-it-up!
Here is a fun idea ~ add your guests name to each banner for a place setting or cup IDs.
