Easy Halloween Spooky Centerpices



  Create Easy Spooky Centerpieces for Halloween with items you already have at home.
My boys are teenagers and love-especially my 15 year old to create and experiment-these ideas are prefect for him-my 18 year old may not admit it but I think he will enjoy these too:0
 Have fun with your kids and create memories.

Create your own mad scientist lab
A mad scientist's lab is a fun and unique way to create a spooky interior. Below are the steps you need to create all the elements for your laboratory:
Glowing water
  • Fill container with 2 cups of hot water.
  • With pliers, pull out felt writing tip from a highlighter, and then carefully pry off bottom of highlighter and remove felt ink tube from inside.
  • Place both the felt ink tube and the writing tip into the hot water and let it sit for 4 to 6 hours.
  • Once the water has cooled and the ink has saturated the solution, use gloved hands to squeeze any remaining ink out of the felt tube. Discard felt ink tube and writing tip.
  • Using a blacklight will really make this pop!
  • Use glow water by itself or in any other crafts involving water or dye to create projects that glow under a black light.
Specimen jars
Here's some brains, guts and heart to spook your guests!
  • Fill ja
  • Add some color using a food coloring of your choice
  • Bubbling lava lamp
    • Fill bottom of container with 1 to 2 inches of water. Add food coloring until desired color is reached.
    • Tilt bottle slightly, and carefully pour vegetable oil into container, creating a layer on top of water, filling to about 1 to 2 inches below the opening of the container.
    • Break antacid tablets in half and drop into container as desired. They will sink directly through the oil layer and begin bubbling in the water layer, drawing the colored water up through the oil like a lava lamps with water and foods such as cauliflower, ginger, grapes, fennel, radishes.
  • Saw on the Today show- Martha Stewart-love her!
