Rustic Fourth of July: Dollar Store Candy Station

June 28, 2011 · by Malia · Filed Under: Crafty Goodness 14 Comments

What's a celebration without a candy station? All you need is red, white and blue candy!

Dollar Store Finds

Mike and Ike RedRageous Candies

Patriotic Tootsie Pops

Red Hots

Soft Peppermint Puffs

The small glass containers are also from the Dollar Store.

Grocery Store Finds

Mini Nestle Crunch Bars

Mini Baby Ruth Bars

Swedish Fish

York Peppermint Pieces (in white and blue)

Gingham Take-Out boxes from Packaging Specialties. I think they cost 85 cents apiece.

To set up the display, just look around your house for things in a patriotic color scheme. The scoops are from Sur La Table and are really inexpensive but I've seen similar items at World Market.

Trim the chalk stock to fit into the frame, using the glass as a template. Using chalk or chalk ink, write on the chalkstock.

    Absolutely adorable, Malia! The only thing missing from list is the throng of kids bursting with excitement to get at the goods. Like kids in a candy store!! :)
