7 Art Inspired Craft Cocktails For Your Next P’ART’Y!
The Holiday Season is quickly approaching and I don’t know about you, but all the shopping and planning for holiday parties and family gatherings can lead to some added anxiety and stress.
Why not plan a night in to de-stress with some good friends?
Nothing is a better stress reliever than some time well spent in the art studio! If you can make it even more fun with a creative cocktail, I say why not!
Let the creative “juices” flow and pair art history inspired craft cocktails with an art project inspired by the same artist! These mixologist approved recipes are sure to create a multi-sensory experience for everyone to enjoy.
I have paired each of these fantastic craft cocktails with art projects I personally crafted inspired by the featured artist. The image of each art project will link you directly to step-by-step instructions and list the supplies necessary for each project as well. Now on to the cocktails…
A Sweet Embrace, inspired by Gustav Klimt.
Gustav Klimt‘s artwork is admired by adults and children alike with patterns and textures combined with beautiful gold inspired by the Byzantine period.
This Klimt inspired art project is good for all ages. You can recycle used wine corks to make easy stamps to create your own beautiful gold background pattern for a holiday tree.
Settle in with your craft supplies and this Klimt inspired cocktail for a night of creative fun!
Dreamy Dusk, inspired by Vincent Van Gogh.
This cocktail mimics a night at the cafe with its bold color combinations and strong flavors.
Van Gogh is one of my favorites! His unique application of paint sets him apart as one of the most iconic painters of all time. Van Gogh’s artwork can be recognized in an instant.
His thick application of paint combined with magnificent pure bright color appeals to all ages. This fun Van Gogh art project is created using painted rice. Yes, you can paint rice… one piece at a time, just kidding (you’d be shocked how easy it is).
*This is a two-step art project. The rice needs to be painted and allowed to dry before it can be used to create the mosaic image. A little prep work is required to plan ahead.
The painted rice allows you to “paint” your Van Gogh with rich color and texture without breaking the bank on expensive paint!
Clearly classic menorah
Find nine clear bottles and thin taper candles. Use eight silver candles on either side of the one taller ivory or white candle for the center shamash (attendant) candle used to light the other eight candles.
Bold blue menorah
Here’s a fun idea—gather nine wooden candlesticks of varying heights and sizes, and paint them all one shade of blue. Then, add your candles, saving the tallest for the shamash candle at the center of the menorah.
Easy elegance menorah
Use your collection of blue glass bottles and an old silver tray for this simple menorah. Don’t worry about matching the bottle colors perfectly. The varying tones and shades of your bottles will complement one other when you group them all together. Add taper candles thin enough to fit the openings of the bottles. Place them on the silver tray in an arc shape with the tallest candle in the center.
