Harry Potter Butter Beer!

 Harry Potter Butter Beer!  We made a super simple family friendly Butter Beer for our Harry Potter party!  It's basically a glorified root beer float! You just need cream soda, vanilla bean ice cream, butter extract and rum extract.  I blended ice cream with a little cream soda,  1 cap full of butter extract and 1/2 cap full of rum extract. Just enough to make it smooth.  Fill the glass with half cream soda...  Then top with the blended ice cream. It's light and frothy and yummy!  Perfect for a Harry Potter Party! And...I got this amazing BRICK WALL backdrop from Lollipop Props Shop! It's the perfect Photo Op backdrop for a party worthy of Hogwarts! Find them on Facebook , Twitter or Lollipop Props !

Root Beer Keg Lamp!

 Root Beer Keg Lamp!  I was given this root beer keg by my sister-in-law...with the recommendation that it would make a really good lamp! She was right.  Hole in the top and side (where they removed the spigot)  I used a piece of floral wire and fished it through the top hole and through the side hole.  Then wrap the wire around the lamp cord  And gently pull it out of the top!  Just a few inches.  Then use the stopper bit in the lamp kit and put it around the cord.  And jam it inside the opening.  I had to shove it firmly with pliers from all sides.  Then put this piece on the cord and twist it into the rubber thing with pliers.  Next, screw on the base of the light part...  Tie the underwriter knot  (all these directions come with the lamp kit and are around $5 at the depot)  Attach the right wires to the gold and silver screws...  Read the directions of the lamp ...
