Even that welcome cocktail you greet your guests with can be truly sinister if it’s as bloody-looking as this Bloody Shirley Temple! Stuffed with a bright red edible liquid, these syringes can give just about anyone some strong goosebumps at the very first sight. Actually the drink is all about two ingredients, including some Sprite soda and some grenadine. The assembly calls for pouring some sprite into jars or glasses loaded with ice cubes, finally placing syringes filled with grenadine amidst the ice cubes. When the syringes release the grenadine into the glass, the sprite gets splashed with a bright red hue that almost shines through those ice cubes. Enough explained of the looks, even the flavours here are no less than true amazement and feel so refreshing on the taste buds. The credit for the awesome party drink inspiration goes to this amazing tutorial shared by Your Southern Peach. We bet you are going to make some of the visitors wonder whether they would captured by a ghostly spirit if they grab a sip of this one!

Doesn’t this masterpiece crafted out of plastic containers and loads of glue gun look exactly like a century-old finding? Hard to figure out, it’s actually an ordinary plastic vitamin and medicine bottles, and a plastic tin that are subjected to a creative use of glue. The author adds simple words and enchanting-looking drawings on the surface of the containers to get a basic structure, while the element of extraordinaire comes into play when they are all coated with some chalk-paint colors. The base is a layer of black chalk paint, adorned with touches of dark brown, rust and lots of pale orange-yellow once the base gets dry. A matte clear coat applied on the paints makes sure your work lasts for very long. The bottles have got their threaded necks removed with the help of a serrated knife, leaving only a lipped rim to get a more interesting shape. The final touches here are those amazing stoppers, wherein cork tile cutouts go for the tin and speckled oak galls with their own woodsy and rustic transformations are used to close the bottles. To get into the utmost detail of each of the steps, head to the below guide by Magia Mia.
