How To Make Easy Candy Buffet Labels
Now we’ll go step by step to assemble the graduation candy table labels (the ones I will use as examples to inspire your occasions: weddings, showers, birthdays, and graduation). You can change up any of the candy table treat signs this is only an example, a springboard for options.
Step 1: Color Coordinating Your Themed Candy Bar Or Not?
You’ll need to decide if you want to spray paint the sticks or not to match the high school colors, your bridal or baby shower colors, your birthday party theme colors, etc., for your candy table labels.
If you spray paint the sticks (yard balloon sticks), you will want to spray them long before cutting. Spray them with paint that adheres to plastic and allows them to thoroughly dry, so you will want to do this the day before and allow that paint to set for 24 hours!
Step 2: How Many Sticks And Containers for Your Candy Table Labels?
Most importantly, you must determine how many labels you need for your candy buffet.
Once you know this, you will begin working with the sticks that will appear in your candy bar buckets. So, you’ll want to work with steps 1 & 2 long before you start this project.
Remember graduation candy table labels are supposed to be fun and light, and baby and wedding showers should be humorous and fun as well, keep the sweetness moving throughout the party!
Step 3: Cut The Graduation Candy Table Sticks To Size
Working with the Dollar Store balloon sticks and a pair of scissors, I cut each of the 4 packs in half, creating 8 sticks and I repeated this one more time as I had many buckets of candy on our candy table for graduation.
Step 4: The Candy Table Treat Signs 2 Ways
Since I purchased both chalkboard tags and chalkboard tag clothespins, I had various style options. A few of the graduation candy buffet sayings were longer, so I used the chalkboard tags with rope.
But you will see why I changed how I did this and just decided to glue the sign to the stick without the rope, making this step, glue the sign without the rope or attach one of the clothespin chalkboards.
But at least let me show you what NOT to do: For this process, I loosely tied the supplied rope to the larger chalkboard tag sign, I WROTE using either the chalk writer or the metallic pen) the candy label saying, and then I used the glue gun to attach the sign to the very TOP of the balloon stick. (write on the LABEL before you glue it!) Just don’t do this. I showed you, so you don’t do it.
Alternatively, you can use the clothespin chalkboard, I used a metallic pen and simply wrote the candy labels play on words on the mini chalkboard, and then I clipped it to the top of the straw!
Just glue the bigger chalkboard sign to the stick without the rope; it works best!
Step 5: Add A Pop Of Themed Personality To The Candy Table Labels
To further theme the graduation candy buffet labels, I used the opening at the top of each of the balloon sticks to slide in either a stick graduation balloon or stick graduation picks, all purchased at the dollar store.
This is when they changed from ah to WOW in my opinion, and it made each different candy bucket on the candy table stand out from the other.
But why stop there, and make those candy tags for your buffet of candy at your graduation, wedding, birthday party, bridal shower, or whatever the occasion stands out more!
Add in LED glowing bulbs for a bit more color, or you can add glow sticks in those wedding candy table sayings and candy buckets or your birthday party candy buffet buckets, you get the idea.
Now you know how to make labels for candy buffet jars, buckets, containers, or whatever you choose!
