decorative ice bowls

[lyssa-anne]

Cool idea for serving shrimp and dip or any other seafood.

You need 2 bowls (approx. one inch size difference)

Fill larger bowl with 1 inch water and let freeze to form a base.

Insert smaller bowl on ice base in large bowl. Secure bowls with duct tape. So that they dont move.

Insert small in items between small and large bowl. ( sea shells, cranberiies, evergreen sprigs - whatever you like)

Fill with water (between the two bowls)- freeze.

Remove tape.

To loosen - put warm water in smaller (top ) bowl until it can be removed and then set the larger bowl in warm water to loosen.

These are great lyssa-anne. I've tried it with cut citrus too, came out well. Just remember, everyone, to put something under the ice bowls to collect the water as they thaw!

Good tip, Mummy. I've been thinking of putting a food decoration section on the project site. If anyone has a close up pic of this and a how-to, I'll put it on pronto!

[lyssa-anne]

yes, thanks Mummy - I did forget to mention that!
Sickie - thats a great idea to add a food decoration section! I currently dont have any pictures for the bowls.

[Sickie Ickie]

It's added now. It's called food and there's enough foodies to submit their pics and how-to's! :D

I don't have any pics either. I'd be happy to make one, but I don't have a website to link to your site, Sickie. Guess I could do it through photobucket? Not to step on Lyssa-anne's toes if she wants to do it - your idea, girl!

[Sickie Ickie]

Or you could each do one since I'm sure your how-to's will vary some. They both would be put up then. :)

[lyssa-anne]

Well I dont have any pics and not really sure how to post pics anyway - so its all yours Mummy. I do have lots of ideas when it comes to food decorations! Once I learn how to post a pic I should be good! :-)

I have food pictures & recipes but they are in my Halloween web site.

Easy set-up. Add another page onto your halloween website, don't link it to the rest of your haunt stuff (unless you want to), then dress it up for Christmas. Copy and paste the food/pics there. Then submit to the project site. :D
