A chic little candy buffet looks complete with perfectly hung tags ~ but wrangling them into place can be tricky.  Here are some of my go-to ways that work with a variety of containers.

1. THE FRONT KNOT - a neat, tidy look that keeps tags flat. Hole punch the tag and bring both ends of the ribbon through the hole.  Then knot or make a bow!
2. AROUND THE KNOB - For covered containers like apothecary jars, a quick bow around the knob is easy!
3. RIBBON LOOP - To give some variety, another option with a lidded jar is to cross the ribbon around the knob (think awareness-ribbon style) Secure the ribbon and label with a piece of double-stick tape.
4. SIDE SLIP THRU - Make a small slice at either end of your label and slip through the ribbon. Use a bit of double stick tape to hide one end under the other for a seamless look, or tie off with a bow. For a twist, swing the bow around to one side of the label.
5. TOP SLIP THRU - Heavier ribbon hangs nicely works better here. Slip the ribbon through slices similar to above only vertically.  Stick a little excess ribbon into the jar and weigh down with candy, or a touch of tape to the inside of the glass works.
6. THE BASIC - The most simple technique is threading a ribbon through a hole punched tag and tying around the back of the jar.  A head's up with this method that sometimes making tags lay flat takes some tweaking!   XOXO

Megan sent me this pic of the bulk candy waitin in the the garage to help with the candy sticker colors - gotta love the madness before the wedding!  We used a pink and purple Love Sweet Love with Filigree design. Hope the candy bar turns out great Megan!  Thanks!

Thanks to Kimberly for sharing this photo of the Sweet Sanity Menu at the candy buffet.  Looks lovely in the 5×7 silver frame and sitting in a bed of sparkly organza.   I could use some yogurt pretzels right now – TGIF everyone! ♥
