Do you have a favorite recipe to feed a crowd? I love doing make-your-own food stations. I get to relax and everyone gets to have a meal exactly how they like it. It’s a win-win! I decided to do a nacho bar for game day festivities. (Here are 16 more food station ideas.) It’s nacho average game day party, it’s extra cheesy (pun intended)!

All of the nacho bar materials were purchased at World Market… well and the beer and most of the table decor! Here’s the official, gourmet, nacho bar “recipe.” It’s super simple: open up the packages and dump each ingredient into a separate bowl. Voila! It’s cheesy and delicious.  Oh and stress free, simple, and yummy! Here’s what I used for the nacho bar:

• Blue corn tortilla chips
• White corn tortilla chips
• Tequila salsa
• Jalapeno salsa
• Mrs. Renfro’s jalapenos
• Ballpark nacho sauce
• Black bean nacho sauce
• Sour cream

I also used salami, cheese, crackers, delicious chocolate biscuits, football shaped pretzels, and jelly beans for extra snacks on the table.

As for the beer, I left that up to the pro. I can shop for cute stuff (I love browsing/ dreaming about buying sofas, chairs, and furniture!) while Andy happily investigates (and purchases) lots of exotic beer. World Market is fun for husband and wife… Another win-win! Andy thoroughly enjoyed picking out (and drinking) these build your own 6-packs (and I loved that they were on sale)!

As for the table, I used lots of World Market serving items and lots of items I already had on hand.

Here are the World Market items I used:

1. The galvanized tin for serving beer

2. 3 tier serving tray

3. Long white serving dish

4. 4 green place mats

5. White cake stand

Here are a few more pics from our game day shindig:

How cute are these football shaped pretzels?!

Oh and here are is a plate of tasty nachos made by Andy. The nacho bar was officially a crowd pleaser.

A birds eye view of the table decor… I used the springs from the chair reupholstery project as nacho topping holders!

I cut the NACHOS letters out of felt, and filled mason jars with green clippings from the backyard and handmade signs taped on straws. Fancy, right?! Maybe not… but certainly masculine, inexpensive and cute!

First of all, can you guess what the table runner is made out of? My mom guessed a no skid rug pad. I’ll give you one more guess…

It’s a no slip shelf liner from the Dollar Store. Here’s the story… Tulip  sent me a goodie box full of sparkly greatness. I needed a surface to craft up, and ended up at the Dollar Store looking for a plain white dish towel. There were no plain dish towels to be found.  I needed a new plan. The shelf liner appeared in front of me. And voila, it was the perfect shape for a table runner. Done and done. This sucker takes less than 10 minutes and costs under $5.

Here’s what you need:

• Tulip shimmer transfer sheets
• 1 roll of shelf liner
• iron
• circle cut out

Use your circle cut out to cut circles from the shimmer transfer sheets.

Arrange your cut outs randomly on the shelf liner. Then, place a thin cloth over the deign and iron on your design. Hold iron on the design for 40 or so seconds, check to make sure it stuck. If not, no worries, just iron again!

Under 10 minutes and super festive… my kind of craft. Oh and and the glitter transfer sheets are mess free. A major plus in my book! See what other fun holiday projects crafty bloggers made with their Tulip products:
