Ice Wine Chiller

Icy Artwork

We collected some suitable material such as evergreen leaves, berries and twigs to encase in the ice, and used plastic ice-cream tub lids as moulds to freeze the water. Flexible plastic, or silicone is ideal, because you can bend it easily- this helps to get the ice out in one piece, though you have to be careful only to bend the edges of the lid and not the ice, or it will crack! Fill the lid with water (about 1cm deep), place your item to be encapsulated in the middle, and leave overnight.

Ice Wreath & Candles

Make a festive ice wreath to add to your outdoor Christmas Decor. These are so simple to make and don't cost you anything. I just took a bunt pan (but any round pan with a hole in the middle will do. Then I gathered items from around my yard like rose hips, moss, rocks,berries, pine cones, and pine needles and placed them in the pan half filled with water.

Then I simply placed the pan into my freezer. The next day I had a frozen wreath. To remove the wreath from the pan I just ran the bottom of the pan under hot water for a few seconds and the wreath slid right out. Run a piece of ribbon through the hole and hang your new wreath. You might want to handle the wreath with gloves on your hands. Very Cold!!

These wreaths I made by first freezing dyed water in an ice cube tray. Once Those were frozen I placed them in the same bunt pan, filled with water and placed in freezer

When they pop out you got a cool colored ice wreath.

This one is Christmas colors.

This year our trees Christmas colors were shades of blue, so I made a blue one.

These wreaths can last up to a few weeks depending on where you place it and how cold the weather is in your area! They can also be used in your table centerpieces for a dinner party if you placed them on top of a pan to collect the melted water. You could also make ice "candles" by freezing water in a tall glass or cylindrical container
