Hey, guess what guys and gals?
THIS gal got a little crafty this afternoon. Check it out!
Is that not super fun or what?
As much as I wish I could take the credit for this fabulous idea, I can not. A few weeks ago, I received a fun little package in the mail from Celebrations.com.
It’s actually their new subscription box called a Celebrate Crate, which is filled each month with party inspirations and supplies. For October, the crate included lots of fun Halloween stuff, including ice cube trays, glow in the dark paint, plastic eyeballs, and of course, the one that stuck out the most to me…the spigot.
I saw it, not having any idea what to do with it, but after reading the inside of the box, I quickly discovered what it was for. Remember last week when I bought those pumpkins and said I had something fun to do with them? 
Welllll…this was it! Surprisingly enough, it was actually super simple to do.
So once I finished the carving part of things, I decided to “dress it up” a bit, juuuuuust in case people didn’t know what the heck it was.
Now, once we get to our party tonight, we’ll fill it up with some Octoberfest and be ready to go!
In case you’re interested, here’s the tutorial I watched on how to make the magic happen.
Like I said, super easy! You can pick up a keg tapping kit easily on Amazon, too.
And quite possibly, just as exciting as the pumpkin keg? Roasted pumpkin seeds, baby!
I rinsed and dried the seeds, then tossed them in a little melted butter, sugar, salt, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice. Baked at 300 degrees F for about 45 minutes.
And now I’ve got a sweet and salty yummy little snack.
Now if we could juuuuuuust get our costumes situated…
But….doesn’t the beer go flat when you pour it into the pumpkin? I think this would work really good for a fall punch or something.
Shut up!! That is fantastic! :)
Omg, best idea ever!!!
This may be the perfect post for me right now! I’m going to a Halloween party tonight and had no idea what to bring! Genius!
That is such a great idea! I love it!!
That’s one of the coolest things ever!!
Love your pumpkin keg. So cute!
So awesome! How creative!
This is so crafty! Super fun!
that is such a cute idea! love it!
Love that idea! Absolutely adorable, unique, and thrifty! So fun to be a part of a monthly party-supply subscription too! What will they think of next? :(
Am I allowed to say that I REALLY wish I could come to your party! Nothing like inviting myself, huh?! ;)
This is AWESOME!!!
I think this is the first time my husband got really interested in reading a blog post I was looking at!! ;)
My best friend made a watermelon keg for her dad’s birthday… Personally my favorite part about a pumpkin is the seeds, though!
this is the best idea ever
What a fun idea!!
Genius!!
Wow! How awesome is that keg?? Super cool :D
And now those pumpkin seeds sound so yummy!
Ah, that’s awesome! So perfect for a Halloween party!
pumpkin keg?! AWESOME!
The pumpkin keg is totally cool! I want one for my water! I think I’d drink more if I got it from a pumpkin keg!
Cool! Does the beer end up getting a pumpkin flavour?
Some people said yes, some people said no…I’m thinking maybe it was in their heads, but who knows? haha ;)
OH.MY.GOD. That is the coolest thing I have ever seen! I can’t wait to hear how it turned out.
That is an awesome idea!
So fun!
what an awesome thing to have at a halloween/fall party! love it.
That’s pretty sweet! What costumes have you got in mind?
Omg, super cute idea! Looks awesome
The roasted pumpkin seeds look so yummy… what a perfect snack!
Please, post the video on Youtube, because i cant see it “due to my location”, and i really sucks D:
thanks!
I will do this. I think I’ll use that boxed wine instead, and just take it out of the box. I can cut a hole to poke the spigot out. I’ll get one red wine and one white, label my pumpkins Blood and Bone.
It would be great with a spiced apple cider (with or without alcohol), or a spiced rum drink of somekind
