Candy carts are so expensive any ideas on doing one yourself

Hi Have a look on e-bay they have alternative ideas such as a Ferris wheel, you can buy them in white or you can paint them yourself to make it cheaper :)

I had a sweet table , I bought jars from Ikea and pound shop filled with a variety of sweets and decorated a table was just as effective and cost around £30 .

I did mine for about £80 and it fed 120 evening guests.. I bought from a wholesaler x

Buy some jars or bowls and the tongs and bags and then just buy sweets to go in them worjs out alot cheaper

We made our own. Used a big painted board, stair spindles and some candy striped fabric. Was really cute and very cheap. I placed it on the table top in the corner. Xx

Look for glass bowls at car boot sales/ charity shops and have a sweet table

Aldi currently have a set of sweet jars in a stand with kids and they come with a scoop too. I'll find a pic :-)

I did a candy buffet for my daughters birthday party. The jars were only £1.29 from home bargains and I bought little cardboard muffin cases to put the sweets in. Sweets were also from home bargains, Poundland and Lidl xx

my mum made ours from a old tea trolley that was in a skip :) all the sweets we brought from places like home bargains £1land etc this was ours

I went to a wedding at Easter and instead of a Candy Cart they had a Candy Table. Everything was in Glass Jars with paper bags to put the sweets in at the start of the table. You could decorate it with Balloons and put a net frill round the table. Look in Home Bargains, they have different size glass jars and plastic scoops in there wedding section.

I'm collecting my own big jars so I can do it myself then I'll just by a big bulk of sweets closer to the time! X

We made our own... bought some sweet bags and sweet tongs from eBay for pennies and then got some glass jars from our local pound shop. Displayed on wooden slabs with some candles. :)

we had the hotel put aside a table. went to home bargains and the range for glass jars, from Amazon I got 200 sweet bags with our names and wedding date on for next to nothing. bought the sweets and from Dunelm mill found decorations to put on the table. it probably only cost us £20/30 rather than the hundreds you can be quoted with xxx

They sell sweet bags, tongs and jars in B&M and home bargains if there's one near u. And sweets from a wholesalers?? X

I've been collecting cheap glass jars and will just bulk buy the sweets closer to the time :)

You could just do a table with sweet jars and bunting around it instead which will make it cheaper x

We ordered cellophane cones from Amazon or eBay. I bought a selection of sweets from a wholesalers & made the cones up for people to pick up themselves. We placed them by the cake table & dotted a few around the room...

I did my own sweet table. I got plastic tubs off ebay for like 15 quid and then spent 40 on sweets and my mum spent 20 on sweets and it spread beteen 100 people xx

We had a sweet table we did ourselves. We got the sweets from eBay and as able to borrow the jars etc from a friend. And brought most of it home again.

We had a 12ft candy table. Collect jars and glass bowls and order the bags offline scoops can be found in a lot of shops. Then all you need is someone with a bookers card to get the sweets to fill the jars and glass bowls

You could do a candy table instead, bunting, nice signs (ebay) and then jars of sweets and sweet bags.. I've seen some and they look lovely!
