I saw this idea in one of my old magazines from Matthew Mead and I absolutely loved it!
I took a fishbowl (brand new) and added the face on the punch bowl by melting chocolate and using my fingers made circles for the eyes and mouth. I then used white chocolate and tinted it with gel food coloring to make it orange for the nose. I placed the punch bowl on a tray and put tons of mini marshmallows all around the base of it! So precious! For the glasses I used clean rootbeer bottles and added a powdered donut hole on the top with the straw going through it to hold it in place. I used mini chocolate chips for the eyes and a jelly bean…cut in half for the nose.
Then I decorated the necks of the root beer bottles with some left over orange fluffy trim for a scarf.
We served Eggnog in the punch bowl because it was cold and wouldn’t melt the face off the snowman. You could try different a punch to serve in there for a festive look.
Can’t wait to see what has been the centerpiece of your week!

Karins KottageWelcome to Karins Kottage! There is always something fun going on! You would think after becoming an empty nester couple that our nest would be very quiet and empty but our Kottage nest is usually more full than what we started out with! You might find me hosting a birthday party or graduation party and a baby shower on the same weekend or a big outdoor get together with 25 of our friends and family in the backyard or maybe I might be in the kitchen trying out a new recipe for my hubby and I to grill on the BBQ for a quiet night for the two of us. I am passionate about entertaining and setting a beautiful table! I may or may not have an addiction to cloth napkins and fun salad plates oh and goblets too! I think I will always have a home decorating DIY project in the works as long as my hubby is on board with me haha. We have painted A LOT in the 6 homes we have owned in the 35 years that we have been married as well as re-done multiple pieces of furniture, added wall and ceiling treatments, replaced lights, bathroom fixtures and even tiled floors! I have sewn what seems like a million window treatments for our home as well as for family, made slipcovers, and duvets and even a formal dress or two!

Thank you Jenna! I did this way before the Frozen movie came out so you could totally do Olaf's face on this too! The only thing is don't use a hot beverage in the bowl or it will melt the face off...haha. Ask me how I know.
Thanks so much for stopping in!
Hugs,
