Todayās post is very sweet which is not suitable if you have high blood sugar. Well, not, actually this post doesnāt have any contraindication, but quite the opposite. We recommend reading this post to every creative person out there and to whoever likes to organize and prepare parties, birthdays, etc. Weāre about to immerse ourselves in the tempting world of sweet tables, candy bars and anything that we, as scrapers and craft lovers, can make.

Sweet tables (also known as a candy bar) are those tables that are prepared for different events (birthdays, weddings, baptisms, etc.) where different kinds of sweets (cakes, cookies, jelly beansā¦) are arranged. Well, the paradise! Making a sweet table is a good reason to pull our socks up and to take out all of our scraper tools to decorate the table with a lot of craft elements.
And wellā¦ if weāre talking about sweet tables, we can talk about salty tables, and if weāre talking about a wedding, we can talk about a family dinner. We just need an excuse to be creative! Here we have a bunch of handmade ideas for your creative tables.
Thereās something quite important and very helpful, choosing a theme for our table. This will help us to choose the materials we want to work with and to create a guiding thread to connect all of our elements. Once we know the theme and the kind of celebration, weāre ready to go.

How to place your table for an event
Itās mandatory, for every Candy Bar, to have some cakes and pastries, and also some sweets, drinks or even, popcorn. Hereās begun the fun, we can create our own bowls. With some coloured of craft cardboard, some doilies, ā doilies are one of the main characters in sweet tables due to its great versatility ā some bows and stickers will be enough to create cones or square containers for the sweets. If you are in the mood and you have a nice punching machine you can give a nice and special touch to the containers by cutting the edges.
To place the food we can create a platform, to have a different level disposition. If you donāt want to spend a lot of money, you can create it yourself by using an empty Tetra Pack Carton. The ideal scenario is to have some of them to stick them together and create a stairway. Then, we can decorate them with some scrapbooking papers. We can also create a tray with a paper plate and glass.

We can also decorate a fruit box painting it with chalky pain or by stamping some beautiful stamps. We can use this box to just decorate the table or to store the tableware, napkins or the sweets.

Here we can talk about tons of elements as, for example, some windmills. We can do them ourselves using the Pinwheel Punch Board from We R Memory Keepers or we can even make them without the tool, just manually. Create some wreath to hang on the walls of the table is also a great idea.

We can also make some banners to create a wreath to decorate the wall. In this case, we can use the Banner Punch Board or the Flower Punch Board from We R Memory Keepers. Theyāll be very useful to make these types of elements.
