• TIP
• Dress the punch bowl up with some decorative ice shapes.
• You can use food grade plastic gloves to freeze ice for floating hands.
• Gloves are available at restaurant supply stores, are made of clear plastic and have no talc on them like latex gloves do.
• Fill with water or colored water, juice, etc. and freeze.
• When hard, remove glove and float in your punch bowl!
• You can also look at specialty stores for ball shaped ice cube trays. Fill with cranberry juice and they become floating blood clots! Eeeeeewww!!
