A few months ago we built a lean to on the other side of the Adirondack style bridge we built where we could hang out with the family outside and enjoy a nice fire…What better place to sit and enjoy some hot cocoa than around that fire! So Hubby built a bar for me out there from tree branches and rough saw pine.
From there, we set it up with all of the things that make hot cocoa yummy. Marshmallows, peppermint, peanut butter chips and caramel to name a few. We even have something for the grown ups. :)
I made the labels for the jars from cereal box cardboard and scrapbook paper much like I made the Valentine’s Day banner. I stenciled individual letters on white Avery labels and placed them on the snowflake tags. There you have it, cute little labels that cost pennies to make. I hole- punched it and added the twine to hang it around the jars.
I made all of the signs that are hanging on the wall using stencils and old scrap wood we have from other projects. The wood on the Hot Cocoa sign is the same wood I used on the deer head mounted to the right and the Farmers Market sign in my dining room. It came from the floor in my Dad’s old shop. I love the aged color!
The kids are so excited to hang out by the fire and make their cocoa and Mommy’s pretty psyched too! I can also see it as a Hot Cider bar in the Fall and Lemonade Bar in the summer. Maybe an adult beverage bar one day?? Lots of possibilities!
