We celebrated our older daughter’s 16th birthday at the lake this summer!
She loves candy, so it seemed fitting to have
a Candy Bar for her Sweet Sixteen party.
a Candy Bar for her Sweet Sixteen party.
I began by searching for ideas on the internet…
there are so many wonderful party ideas on blogs out there.
We started by fraying the edges of a piece of burlap fabric
to fashion a tablecloth. And yes, that is a flaw that was pulled
in the process…adds character, I guess!

I made a couple of little banners out of the burlap and painted “Sweet 16” on them. Using a container I had already bought at a thrift store, we added fake flowers, the banners and a little rope bow, and we had the centerpiece!
I found some awesome containers at Hobby Lobby for just a few dollars each,
and we filled those with different kinds of candy!

I added an antique scale for height and for its patina!
Kinda cute, huh… and almost ALL of the candy was gone at party’s end…
in addition to birthday cake and ice cream!!
Adorable ! Looks like a very sweet 16 !!!!
