“DECORATING OFF”

Grab some already baked cookies and see who can decorate them the best. Set a timer for 5 minutes and at the end, the coolest cookie wins!

Supplies: Baked cookies, cookie decorating supplies.

TRUTH OR DARE BALLOON BURST

Think of this as a combination of truth or dare and musical chairs. Fill balloons with truth or dare questions and then fill them up with air. As the music is playing, pass the balloon around to each person. Once the music stops, the person holding the balloon has to pop the balloon and complete the dare inside or answer the question of truth.

Supplies: Balloons, paper, pencil, music. (See our 100 Truth or Dare Questions for Kids)

MURDER IN THE DARK CARDS

All you need is a deck of cards. Leave only the numbered cards in the pile, plus 1 ace and 1 face card. That’s it. Have everyone draw a card. The one who gets the ace card is the detective and the one who gets the face card is the murderer. The detective reveals themselves but no one else does.

As no one is looking, the murderer has to wink at their latest victim in which that person quietly goes “out” and puts down their card. It’s up to the detective only to figure out who is needing to be charged with the crime.

Supplies: A deck of cards.

SPIN THE BOTTLE OF NAIL POLISH

This is all about crazy nail colors! Put a nail polish bottle in the middle of the circle and spin. Whoever it lands on has to paint their nails that color. Keep going until crazy nails are everywhere.

Supplies: Random colors of fingernail polish.

CHARADES

This is the typical game of charades. You can even play in the dark to add a super fun twist to it.

Supplies: Charades cards templates or pieces of paper.

MUSICAL SLEEPING BAGS

Make certain that you have one less sleeping bag than people playing. Start the music and have everyone walking around the sleeping bags. Once the music stops, they get to hop in the bags and pretend to sleep. Anyone without a bag is out.

Supplies: Sleeping bags, music.

BOBBING 4 DONUTS

Grab some string and hang up those donuts. The first person that can finish the donut off the string without using their hands, wins!

Supplies: String, donuts.

SARDINES

It’s like a reverse game of hide and seek. This game starts with one person hiding and then everyone else looking for them. As they are found, the finder joins in each time until there is a huge group of people hiding and one final person trying to find them all.

KEEP TALKING

Just how much can you talk? Put a whole bunch of random topics on pieces of paper and put them in the bowl. The kids will draw out one piece and talk about that topic for 2 minutes non-stop. What all will they say?!

Supplies: Big bowl, pieces of paper, pencil.

BLIND VAN GOGH

Split up into two teams and pick someone to put on the blindfold. Once they can’t see what it is, choose an object that the other person has to explain (without saying the actual name of the object) and have them draw out what they think is being described.

Supplies: Blindfold, pencil, paper.

BLIND MAKEOVER

Get ready to show off your makeup skills. Pick someone to be the makeup person, and one person to get their face decorated. Add the blindfold to the makeup artist and set a timer for 2 minutes. See how good their makeup looks once done!

Tide Pod Container Ghost Craft for Halloween

You will never guess the upcycled product that created this fun and exciting Halloween Ghost Craft. Print our ghost template printable and use with or without a Cricut machine. Taking only a matter of minutes and a free ghost face cut out printable, this makes a cute and ridiculously easy Halloween craft for adults or the kids.

Easy Ghost Halloween Craft for Adults

Halloween is coming up, and it’s time to start thinking about how you’re going to make this year spooky. You could go the traditional route of telling ghost stories in front of a roaring fire or dressing up as your favorite character for trick-or-treating. But if you want to make something that is fun and easy to make, then this Tide Pod ghost craft is just the thing!

Halloween Ghost Craft

How to make a Halloween ghost craft

This upcycled craft is inexpensive to make and uses supplies you might already have  in your home. Even if you don’t use Tide Free & Clear Pods, you can purchase the laundry soap and use it while repurposing the container for this Halloween ghost craft.

Materials needed:

  • An empty, clean Free & Gentle Tide Pod container
  • Ghost eyes and mouth template – download and save it to use later
  • Black adhesive vinyl for the ghost’s face – you can also use black Sharpie, construction paper or an adhesive printer label
  • Liquid glue (if not using adhesive vinyl)– to attach the eyes and mouth onto the ghost head. I found that regular craft adhesive works well but you can also use Modge Podge and it looks great.
  • Scissors (if not using a vinyl cutting machine)

Instructions:

First remove the top from the container and discard. We won’t be using the lid for this project.

Next I removed the label from the laundry pods container by soaking in hot water until the label softens. Then I scraped the label off carefully, using GooGone to remove it completely.

Tip: You can also use a heat gun to warm the label but the ease of this option varies based on the brand. For instance, I found using a heat gun to be easy on Gain containers but difficult on Tide containers.

ghost craft materials

Once the container is ready, print out the ghost face template and cut out the pieces. Place the ghost face pieces on the back of the adhesive vinyl and trace them with a pencil. Cut out the pieces.

For a Cricut Halloween project, if you’re using a cutting machine, open the template in your software and trace the pieces. Cut the eyes and mouth out of the adhesive vinyl.

Peel the backing off the vinyl and apply the face pieces to the side of the container.

If you’re using colored paper, trace the shapes and cut them out. Apply glue to the pieces and place them on the side of the container.

If you’re using printable labels, print out the template, cut the pieces out and apply them.

If you are using a black permanent marker, use the ghost face cut out as a guide to trace your own face.

Can I use a different container?

Although I used a Tide Free & Clear soap container, you can substitute a different brand that’s white or use a colorful one like the orange Tide container. Perhaps turn it into a fun pumpkin or spray paint it white.

milk jug halloween ghost craft

Got milk? In our Halloween Hacks, we shared light up ghost crafts using a gallon milk jug for iSave A to Z. Just incorporate upcycled Christmas lights and you have a boo-tiful luminary. Don’t be afraid to get creative!

Ways to display your Halloween ghost craft

There are so many fun ways to display your ghost craft. You can place your ghost on a table or counter to set up as the perfect Halloween night scene. You might want to include other Halloween decorations like spiders, black cats, and witches hat bowls filled with candy for trick-or-treating.

This cute ghost would also be a great addition to your Halloween front porch décor with some pumpkins around him. Get a small hay bale from your local craft store and set up a spooky setting with spider webs that will impress your trick-or-treaters. Or use as fun Halloween lighting displaying up and down the staircase.

Ghost Template Printable

There are two formats you can get this FREE Ghost Template printable. Choose either a PNG for your Halloween Cricut Craft or download at a ghost PDF to use the ghost face as a template for tracing with a sharpie marker.

Once you purchase Etsy Digital Downloads the next thing you want to do is print a digital print. Follow these steps for how to download your digital files from your Etsy account and how to print digital art at Staples.

printing Etsy digital downloads

Do you feel like me? Going to the stationary store and customizing a digital print is a thing of the past. If you want to stay seated on your couch and have access to 1,000s of digital download prints follow me as I take you through the steps of finding, downloading, saving, and printing Etsy Digital Downloads.

Etsy Digital Files

Best Etsy Digital Downloads Frugal Coupon Living Shop

An Etsy digital download is any product that you purchase and download without a physical copy. This can come as a DOC, PDF, PNG, JPEG or even SVG file.

If you have made a purchase of digital files on Etsy, it is important to know where to find your print shop digital downloads. Guess what. You can’t download Etsy digital files on iPhone, iPad or Android app. Right now you cannot download a digital purchase through the Etsy app. However, after your purchase it is really easy to access Etsy digital downloads on a non-mobile desktop computer or using your mobile browser.

If you are purchasing digital files, I suggest having an Etsy account and not checking out as a guest. Digital files are available once your payment is confirmed. If you made your purchase online, give it a few minutes for your Paypal or credit card to process.

To access your digital downloads after purchase, in your Etsy account you will see a “View your files” link which goes to the Downloads page. Here, you can download all the files associated with your order. Look for the button, “download files.”

Etsy Digital Download Help

how to find my digital download on Etsy

With everything online, it is easy to run into trouble. Working off a major retailer like Etsy means there isn’t always someone available at the help desk. Let’s answer some digital files frequently asked questions for Etsy.

How do I know if I purchased a digital download?

If you’re unsure if you’ve purchased a Digital Item, you can always go back to the listing page. If it is a digital download, you should see an “Instant Download” message on the images for the item.

How to download Etsy digital files on iPhone, iPad, or Android App

Right now you cannot use the Etsy app to print or download Etsy digital files. Instead, access Etsy digital downloads on a non-mobile desktop computer or using your mobile browser.

How do I access Etsy digital files from my account?

To access your digital downloads from your Etsy account:

  1. Sign in to Etsy.com and go to Your account.
  2. Go to Purchases and reviews.
  3. Next to the order, select Download Files. This goes to the Downloads page for all the files attached to your order.

On the download page, you will see the Etsy digital download file size. Each digital product is a different size.

Once you have downloaded your digital files, you can take the next steps for printing as you would for any file on your computer.

I don’t have an Etsy account

Sigh. I get it. It is common to have the desire to checkout as a guest. If you are purchasing something like a digital file you want access to forever, check out with an Etsy account in the future.

The good thing, is you are not a lost cause. If you do not have an Etsy account you can download your digital files from your inbox. Look for an email from transaction@etsy.com in your inbox. Be sure to also check your spam or junk inbox and your social or promotions tabs.

Contact the Seller

If you continue to have trouble with your Etsy digital downloads, you can contact the seller using Etsy Messages. Supply the email address you used for purchase as well as the order number (if you have it.) I would also be helpful to tell the seller the product you purchased and the time and day. This will allow the Etsy seller to quickly access your order and confirm your purchase.

How do I print Etsy Digital downloads

how to print Etsy digital downloads

Once you have accessed your Etsy digital downloads save them to your computer. Then next thing you will want to do is set up your printer to print digital downloads.

If you do not have a office or home printer to print a digital print, there are other solutions for where to print digital art and get quality prints. Once you have downloaded the file, you can simply upload the file to the printer of your choice, or transfer the file to an external drive and take it into your local print shop.

Where should I print digital downloads?

  • Home Printer
  • Costco
  • Walgreens
  • Vista Print
  • FedEx Kinkos
  • Local Printers
  • Staples

How to print digital art at Staples

For a quality digital art printing service, I love to turn to Staples.

Staples printing service allows me to choose the type of paper, the size of paper, and to get good quality coloring for my Etsy digital files.

Plan the perfect beer tasting party with these fun adult party games that will have your party guests laughing and having a great time and making new friends.

Best Adult Drinking Games for a Beer Tasting Party

A good party is all about having fun and drinking beer. After all, beer is the most popular alcoholic beverage in the world! Without it there would be no adult parties or drinking games to enjoy. In this blog post we will discuss some of the best beer drinking games you can play at your next party that are sure to make everyone have a great time!

What is a Beer Tasting Party?

A beer tasting party is a gathering where everyone brings a type of beer to share. These are often planned by people who want to explore the tastes and styles of different types of beers.

In order for this event not to be too tough on anyone’s taste buds, it is best if there are a variety of different kinds available so that guests can sample them all without worrying about not liking the few that were offered by one host.

When hosting a cheers & beers party, download a beer tasting notes PDF. Compare colors, clarity, aroma, flavor, appearance, mouthfeel and more. You can even give it a score of one to five stars beers.

What Are Some Drinking Games To Play At A Beer Tasting Party?

Gather up your supplies and plan some fun drinking games to entertain your party guests. Some beer party games include:

I’m Going to a Bar– A new take on the childhood game, “Going on a Bear Hunt” players sit in a circle and take turns saying different drinks that they would get from the bar. Each person repeats the list and adds another drink to the list.

Straight Face– This funny game tests your willpower to not laugh while reading ridiculous statements party guests write.

Defy Gravity– Keep your balloons in the air with this one-handed challenge. The last team with all their balloons in play, wins!

Pass the Orange– Ever try passing an orange with no hands? This crazy game tests your skills at passing fruit around the circle without dropping it.

Name that Quote- This game can be adapted to use movie quotes, songs, titles of shows or anything that works well with the friend group you’ve invited over.

Charades– A boozy spin on the classic game, write down funny actions or things that will get your guests acting and laughing.

Beer Pong– What’s a beer tasting party without beer pong? Set up the cups and watch the party come to life with this game of skill that gets harder the more you drink.

Donuts & Cocktail Sticks– Work as a team to get as many donuts into your team’s bucket before time runs out. The twist? No hands. You can only pass the donuts with the cocktail stick that’s in your mouth.

Two Truths and a Lie– This getting to know you game is perfect for the beginning of the evening, especially as you’re waiting for other guests to arrive.

Mr. & Mrs. Freeze– This game can be played throughout the party to add a fun twist to the evening. Guests have to pay attention or drink up!

Heads up– Download the Heads Up app and play the fun guessing game.
