{DIY Monogram Pumpkin T-Shirt}

Thank you for visiting my blog.

As most of us prepare for one of our favorite holidays I wanted to share a FREE t shirt design. These designs can be put on tshirts, tote bags, onesies and more.

Supplies:

Light fabric tshirt paper

Inkjet printer

T-shirts

Iron or heat press

Computer

Start by purchasing heat transfer paper from your local craft or office supply store.

Download the initials you want to put on your t shirts by going here. Once you have the designs downloaded you will need to mirror the image by flipping the image so when you print and press onto your shirt the initial reads the right way.

Flipped Image

Once you have flipped the image go ahead print the image using your inkjet printer and tshirt transfer paper. Allow the image to dry. Prepare your shirt by pressing it for a few minutes to get of any wrinkles and moisture. Take your printed image and place in the spot you will press it onto your shirt and press per the instructions on the back or inside of the package it came in.

TADA!!! If you make these shirts I'd LOVE to see them! Please post pictures on our facebook page or email us at info@lavishpartiesbytalia.com

{Tutorial} Chocolate Covered Thermometers {Doc Mcstuffins Party}

{Tutorial} Chocolate Covered Thermometers

{Doc Mcstuffins Party}

I was asked to make some chocolate covered thermometers for my niece's Doc Mcstuffins 3rd Birthday Party. So I put together a small tutorial on how I made them.

It's very simple.

Talia's Creative Printing: {Tutorial} Chocolate Covered Thermometers {Doc Mcstuffins Party}:

You will need the following:

1. Pretzels rods

2. Chocolate for dipping (candy melts, candy dips, etc)

White and the colors you would like to use.

3. Vegetable oil

4. Spoon or measuring spoon

5. Pan or cookie sheet

6. Wax paper

7. Squeeze bottles or piping bags

8. Gloves

9. Paper towel or napkins

When I started I made sure that I had ample work space.

I layed down waxed paper for easy clean up.

Step 1. Melt your chocolate according to the instructions (usally 40 seconds to 1 minute), if using a microwave, stir at half intervals keeping the heating of the chocolate even. Be sure not to overheat as this will burn your chocolate. Your chocolate should be warm and easy to stir. If it's hard then you've burned it and will need to start over.

After your chocolate is melted you may need to thin it a little. You can test the thickness by dipping a pretzel rod into your chocolate, if the chocolate seems clumpy or too thick on the pretzel then add small amounts (half a teaspoon to 1 full tablespoon) depending on the amount of chocolate you use. Stir the chocolate after adding the oil then try dipping another pretzels. Once you've gotten the consistency the way you want it, it is time to dip all of your pretzels.

Step 2: Dip all your pretzel rods leaving about 1- 1 1/2 inches undipped. Tap off excess chocolate then lay in your pan or on a cookie sheet. Once your pan is full of pretzels, place in the fridge for about 10-15 minutes. While your pretzels are in the fridge, you will need to melt your colored chocolate and pour into squeeze bottles or piping bags. Before pour the chocolate in the piping bag, do not cut the tip off just yet.

Step 3: Take pretzels out of the fridge, draw a circle at the top of the pretzel then draw a vertical line with your colored chocolate. Since the pretzels are already cold it will only take a few minutes for the colored chocolate to harden.

Step 4. Draw horizontal lines for the temperature with the second color chocolate.

Since my niece's party was in multiple colors of pinks, blues, purples and greens,

I made her pretzels in pink, blue and purple.

Step 5: Bag your completed chocolate covered thermometers in pretzel bags

then tie with twist ties or ribbon.

Here is the photo of the pretzels from the party.

{7 Days Of Creative Christmas} Union Square Bar Nuts Recipe

#creativechristmas

First day of our 7 Days of Creative Christmas is

Union Square Bar Nuts Recipe brought to you by

KE Event Design

Union Square is a restaurant in New York City, and was the first restaurant opened in 1985 by Danny Meyer, an acclaimed restaurateur.  The restaurant serves American cuisine with a little old Italian soul. The restaurant has earned Zagat’s #1 New York Most Popular Restaurant  for the past eight years. Many of their recipes have been added to their own cookbooks, and one recipe that has transformed the typical bar accessory, nuts. The Union Square bar nuts are unique, flavorful, and full of combinations that aren’t expected at the local pub. Maybe it should be.

I have made these for small parties and got a great response. They would work great for a holiday cocktail partyThey are simple to execute and even better to give to your guests. If you have any left over, you can enjoy them as a late night snack when there’s nothing else in the cabinets. Enjoy!

Union Square Bar Nuts Recipe

- 2 ¼ cups (18 oz) assorted unsalted nuts [including peeled peanuts, cashews, Brazil nuts, hazelnuts, walnuts, pecans and whole unpeeled almonds]

- 2 tbsp coarsely chopped fresh rosemary leaves - ½ tsp cayenne pepper - 2 tsp dark brown sugar - 2 tsp Maldon or other sea salt

- 1 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Toss the nuts in a large bowl to combine and spread them out on a baking sheet. Toast in the oven until light golden brown, about 10 minutes.

In a large bowl, combine the rosemary, cayenne, sugar, salt and melted butter.

Thoroughly toss the toasted nuts in the spiced butter and serve warm. And once you eat these, you will never want to stop.
