Description
Create spooky ice hands for Halloween with this fun and easy craft.
Ingredients
- Latex gloves
- Water
- Food coloring
- Twist ties
- Shallow baking pan
- Salt
Instructions
- Begin by stretching open a clean latex glove and slowly fill it with water. Be sure not to overfill—leave about two inches of space at the top to allow for expansion during freezing.
- Add a few drops of food coloring to the water-filled glove. Choose shades like red, green, or blue for a ghostly vibe. Give the glove a gentle shake to distribute the color evenly throughout the water.
- Twist the glove securely at the open end and use a twist tie to tightly close it. This prevents leaks and helps the glove retain its shape while freezing.
- Place the filled glove flat in a shallow baking pan and put it in the freezer. Let it freeze overnight until the hand is completely solid.
- When you’re ready to showcase your icy hand, remove the glove carefully and place the ice hand in a shallow dish. Be gentle to avoid breaking the fingers.
- Sprinkle salt generously over the ice hand. Salt helps melt the ice in unpredictable and eerie ways. Scoop some of the salty water and pour it over the hand for dramatic melting and dripping effects.
