Easy Fall Popcorn Bar

We are planning a fun family party in a few weeks and wanted to have something that both adults and kids will enjoy and since our dad is a popcorn fanatic, we decided on an easy Fall Popcorn Bar to satisfy any sweet or salty tooth. 😉 Because Hayneedle has the most gorgeous fall decor right now, and because we are suckers for all things pretty, we snagged some string lights, twig pumpkin, serving bowl and the comfiest coral throw to give our bar the right fall look.

To make your own popcorn bar is a breeze. In fact, you’ll probably have what you need around the house! We used:

• Serving Bowl or Basket to hold the popcorn
• Scoop
• Brown Paper Bags to hold the chunky toppings
• Mason or Milk Jars to hold finer toppings
• Scrapbook Paper in fall hues, 12×12
• Fall Decor like our DIY burlap doily bunting
• String Lights
• Fresh Autumn Flowers (optional)
• Printable “POPCORN BAR” Sign with coordinating tags

You can be as dressy or as casual as you’d like with your own popcorn bar. For ours we hung a few strands of string lights over a table and paired it with a bunting. Next we filled our serving bowl with popcorn then folded the tops of brown paper lunch sacks over 2-3 x’s and filled with goodies.  Here’s what we used:

• Pretzels
• Peanuts
• Marshmallows
• Reece’s Pieces + M&M’s
• Candy Corn

To hold the popcorn we just shaped a 12×12 piece of fall colored scrapbook paper into a cone and taped the bottom to secure it. Easy, inexpensive and cute!

We love the coral pop of color against the stain and neutral porch colors.

Here’s a little peek at the pretty ambiance those pretty string lights give off in the early evening:
