Directions
- Print a picture of Madame Leota sized to fit snugly inside your punch bowl, giving it a crystal ball illusion. Cut the image into a circle. Then sandwich it between two pieces of clear contact paper, smoothing out any bubbles. Trim around the picture, leaving a half-inch border of contact paper.
- Using a small hole punch, make a hole at the bottom of the picture.
- Wash a suction cup with soap and water, then thread its hook through the hole you just made.
- Press the suction cup firmly onto the inside bottom of the punch bowl.
- Carefully pour your chosen witch's brew into the bowl, letting it flow like a mysterious elixir. For an eerie touch, we used a nonalcoholic Halloween punch: a bewitching blue mix of blue Kool-Aid and lemon-lime soda.
- Place twinkle lights behind the punch bowl to give your drink an eerie glow.
