Find your inner rebel and create this Chili sign from Celebrations at Home by using spray paint and stencils.

Moscow Mule Bar

If you’re making a Chili Bar, why not accompany it with a Moscow Mule Bar?

Happily Hughes used chalkboard paint {and chalk} to make this frame into a sign.

Penalty Flag Napkins

Is there a more creative way to display yellow napkins? We think not. Thank you to Kara’s Party Ideas for the inspiration.
