A Creepy-Crawly Halloween Treat!

Creepy crawly things go perfectly with Halloween don’t you think?  It’s the only time of year when most of us actually welcome all kinds of frightful critters into our homes!  We have the go-ahead to decorate with the craziest things…and it’s completely acceptable!  So today I’d like to share a whimsical way to display some holiday goodies along a few icky insects!  Simple cupcakes and sodas are ebellished with the easiest DIY decorations on this kid-friendly cart that definitely WON’T scare anyone away!  Get ready to serve up a…

creepy crawlers might not make you cringe if they’re on a happy Halloween cart like this one…

ceramic craft pumpkins are swarming with colorful creepers…which are just plastic bugs & spider rings from the craft store!

varying shades of green spray paint transform the little guys into something that’s not quite so creepy!  hot glue holds them on…but later i can pop them off and paint the pumpkins for my Thanksgiving table!

a little food color transforms any icing to match a theme.  and can you call a spider darling?  you can if it’s a paper honeycomb!

you can easily hang decorations on the wall with a bit of painters tape.  this way these spiders won’t actually be sinister by ripping the paint off the walls!

have fun and startle your guests with a little gross-factor…”bug barf” (aka soda) is served on a pedestal…

such a hilarious sip for this bug-inspired cart!

everyone loves something silly…kiddos, teens and even adults!

for a fun detail…i tied a paper straw threaded with a spider ring to the neck of the bottle!

rather than buying a garland, i decorated the front of the cart with a DIY banner made from strips of fabric simply tied to twine.

i used the leftover fabric on the bottles AND the cake stand!  REALLY economical and it made this little cart look custom!

so simple, so silly, so yummy & fun!

serve up something creepy crawly this season!

pin for later~
