Charcuterie Board
Mike Garten/Good HousekeepingLove a charcuterie board? Why not dress like it? This costume works best with multiple people and requires yellow and red craft paint and styrofoam cake rounds for creating the slices of Gouda, which you can then attach to a headband with hot glue or place on a wooden board as a prop to carry around. As for the grape headband, you'll have a bit of crafting to do once you buy purple tree ornaments and some floral wire. But don't worry, it's easy!
Instructions:
- Cut several 30cm lengths of floral wire. Thread an ornament onto the centre of each wire and twist the ends together.
- Gather all of the wired ornaments and twist the wires together to create a tapered bunch of grapes. Trim any excess wire pieces off and wrap any exposed wire with floral tape.
- Cut a grape leaf shape from green paper and attach it to the bunch with hot glue.
- Wire two small hair combs to the bottom of the bunch to secure onto your head. You might need some extra bobby pins to secure as well.
