Sweet DIY Candy, Treat, & Lolly Bars for Parties

DIY Candy, Treat, & Lolly Bars for Parties are becoming really Popular! They are Colourful to look at and provide Guests with so many Tasty Treats to choose from throughout the Party or to take Home as Favours.

If you’re interested in making one of your own for an upcoming Party or Celebration, you’ve come to the right place! Here are some tips and lots of inspiration for your own DIY Candy, Treat, & Lolly Bars.

Personalised Labels for Treats

A Creative and Easy way to put together a Candy, Treat, and Lolly Bar for a Party is to use Personalised Labels. These are truly DIY, because all you need to do is Peel and Stick!

At Katie J Design & Events, we have several options for Customising Stickers, Labels, and Wrappers you can use for all types of Treats at a Party. Simply add your Loved One’s Name to your Choice of Theme.

Our Customers have used these for Lollipops, Chocolates, Juice Bottles, Bubble Wands, Treat Boxes, Tiny Jars, and dozens of other Candies and Containers. The options are Endless!

Here is some inspiration from Customer Photographs to Inspire you to Create your own Sweet DIY Candy, Treat, & Lolly Bars for your next party. This is a Photograph of Mitchy’s 3rd Birthday Party with a Blaze and the Monster Machines Theme. On the Party Table, you can see Juice Bottles with Personalised Blaze and the Monsters Machines Labels. The other Stickers they used for all of the Treat Wrappers ties this Treat Bar all together!

In this Photo from Georgia’s 10th Birthday, you can see how they used Personalised Chocolate Wrappers for the chocolates and our Personalised Rectangular Stickers for the Cups. This was such a Creative way to Serve Themed Treats for a Purple Movie Night Themed Party!

I also Love this Winter ONEderland Themed Party! They used our Party Cup Stickers for a Hot Chocolate Bar. All of the Guests could Personalise Hot Chocolate with their own Flavours and Toppings. So Delicious and Creative!

If you like this Hot Chocolate Bar idea, here is how you can DIY this Idea. Simply use themed decorations on some insulated cups, make some hot cocoa, and collect a variety of toppings: chocolates, marshmallows, biscuits, cream, and candies!

With younger guests, you’ll probably need to help them with this Hot Chocolate Bar, but Older Guests will Love mixing their own Treat.

Colourful, Thematic Displays

Another Idea for DIY Candy, Treat, and Lolly Bars is to put together a Display that is Thematic with Colour.

For a Sweet Baby Shower, you can Use Pastel Blues or Pinks for all of the Treats to Create a Beautiful, Edible Masterpiece. For a Bright and Bold Kid’s Birthday Party, you can Choose Foods in Primary Colours that Match the Theme and Make a Fun Statement.

You might need to get a little Creative with the Food you Serve at the Party. Nothing has to be expensive or extravagant, though, I promise! I have so many awesome DIY Party Foods you can use and adapt for any coloured party theme.

But you can also use Foods that are already the Theme Colour. Does the Party Feature the colour Green? You can serve kiwi, green grapes, and cucumbers, for example.

Theme Coloured Accents like Balloons, Tablecloths, Flowers, and Backdrops also help Create these Colourful, Thematic Displays. Many of our Customers have used this Concept for Amazing DIY Candy, Treat, and Lolly Bars at their Parties. Here are a few.

The Theme of Tommy’s First Birthday Party Featured in this Photo is Boys Boho Rainbow. Our Personalised Decorations for this theme are all Blue, so they served Treats in different Shades of blue for their Treat Bar! There are Blue Iced Donuts, Cookies, and Cupcakes, as well as Riced Krispie Treats in Blue, Blue Jellies, and our Customised Chocolate Wrappers.

Personally, I think these DIY Donut Displays are amazing! You could Create your own with some wood and dowels! To easily prop them up, you can lean them against Picture Frames or make a support for the back.

Another Customer DIY Candy, Treat, and Lolly Bar that I Adore is this Chanel Themed Birthday Party Display. The Pastel Desserts look absolutely Delicious, and the Black Accents are just Gorgeous. It was also such a Creative Idea to attach Silver Chains to the Mini Chocolates so they could hang like Purses!

Creative Containers for Candies and Lollies

Many of the DIY Candy, Treat, and Lolly Bars I’ve seen make use of Containers of all types to Display Candies and Lollies for Guests. But they also make use of Containers for Guests to put their collected Treats into!

Clear Bowls, Jars, and Vases, stands for Baked Goods, and Coloured Cups or Bags all add to the fun when you fill them with assortments of Candies and Lollies for the Guests.

Some of our Customers use our Personalised Rectangle or Circle Stickers for the Containers so they add to the theme, and others use Candies and Treats that match the theme’s Colours.

I can’t wait to share these Customer photos with you!

Here is an Amazing DIY Candy, Treat, and Lolly Bar at an Emma Wiggles Party for Harlee’s 3rd Birthday. The large, clear containers are filled with Candies that match the theme colours of Yellow, Pink, and Black, there are pink striped containers for other Treats, and Coloured Popcorn Boxes for Guests to collect their choice of the Yummy Foods!

Zariah’s Birthday Party had a Cocomelon Theme, and they collected all sorts of Colourful Lollies to Display in Clear Containers. I especially like the ones that say “YUM”! I bet the Guests couldn’t get enough of all these delicious treat choices, and the Candy Bar looks like so much fun!

Finally, this Winter ONEderland party is all Elegance with Fancy Jars and Vases to Display Beautiful Pink Pastel and White Candies surrounding a Lovely Cake.
