This Halloween Candies and Treat Station makes a great display in an entryway, narrow space or hallway. Stack the candy and or goodies in all sorts of crystal dishes and trays among a few hand selected centerpiece quality decorations from your collection.
More Details
You Will Need:
(1) Small entry or hallway table.
(1) Halloween table runner tablecloth.
(1-2) Assorted Halloween centerpiece size decorations.
(4-6) Assorted glass treat dishes. (Bring out that crystal and clear holiday glass in your cupboards).
(6-10) Assorted varieties of individually wrapped Halloween sized candy.
Step-by-Step Instructions:
#1 - Start with a small table for your display and add a Halloween tablecloth or runner.
#2 - Select a few centerpieces, a small table lamp and place them on your table. You may end up moving things around as you continue to set up your display (this is normal).
#3 - A nice lighted piece, a pumpkin, a few candles on tall pillars or something similar helps set the mood. If you also use a table lamp like in our display example, be sure to use a black light bulb.
#4 - Add a few fun containers, and bring out those old crystal dishes and work them around your centerpieces or main prop pieces. If a dish or container is too deep, fill it up with a smaller container turned upside down. This helps to take fewer candies to 'fill' a dish.
#5 - Fill some of the dishes with colored paper shred, but not all of them and begin filling the dishes with assorted individually wrapped halloween-size candies. The bigger the variety the better. I usually choose 12 different wrapped candies along with a bag or two of loose candy corn and cinnamon jelly candies.
#6 - Sit back and enjoy your display. After the party has started, you can top off the candies as the dishes occasionally get emptied.
Halloween has quickly outpaced a number of
holidays with the choice of decorations available to express your
fancy. We have a 200 square foot area just to store our collection
of Halloween
decorations. Last year, I didn't even get them all out in time. Join with us
at Halloween at Home for great ideas on decorating for your next
Halloween party.
Planning a Halloween Party can be as much fun
as the event itself. The keyword here is 'planning'. You can't
expect to have a good party without getting a good start on the
holiday by formulating a party plan. I'm talking about months, not
weeks!
