Considering to invite a few friends over for a dinner party filled of all things ghoulish and glam this month? Oh darling, I think it’s a boo-tiful idea! But instead of sending out the standard holiday invite, why not mix it up a bit this year…shall we? Howl.
So as I was stalking Pinterest and sites of the creative kings + queens, I came across this spooky yet brilliant way for your guests to accept an upcoming RSVP. Oh, yes! Plus, it’s super easy and completely doable for a small crew {I’m thinking a mysterious + intimate dinner at my casa for six, of course}. Hola. Steps to create your own spine-chilling invitation? Why thank you, Martha.
insert your finger. remove finger when the mold rubber dries {about 2 minutes}.
pour quick-dry casting plaster into the mold, and allow to set overnight. carefully remove the dried-plaster finger: this may require cutting the mold; otherwise, each mold will usually allow one or two more fingers to be cast before a new mold is required.
to make your invitations truly cadaverous, mix India ink and water (1/2 teaspoon ink to 1 cup water), and dab the mixture onto the fingers using a natural sponge. photocopy the invitation, cut out, and glue to the inside lid of a small cardboard box. place reindeer moss in the base of the box; using silk embroidery ribbon, tie a “ribbon reminder” around the finger, and place inside the box.
Whether you’re looking for a new + hip way for your party ghosts to enter your casa this month or just want a creative way to spend your upcoming Saturday afternoon, check out these invites. They’re the perfect way to finger hocus before the party pocus begins! B+H
