You can create a simple, cost-effective dessert table for your party anywhere with these 5 simple steps! We set up this Elmo party on a kitchen island.
1. Clear off the counter!
2. Hang a fun piece of fabric as a backdrop behind the table or counter.
3. Hang balloons from the ceiling over the dessert table. We found these polka-dotted balloons at Hobby Lobby, and added a marble to make them hang down straight.
4. Use colorful dishes and trays for food and desserts. We made a cupcake stand using plates and mugs in our red & blue colors.
5. Hang up a birthday banner and you’re done! Now you are ready to set out your food and let the party begin!

I would never have thought hanging that fun cover would make such a difference. Anybody could do this and have it turn out great.

It all came together really, really well! You did a fantastic job! Elmo would be very proud.

What a great idea! I would never have thought of hanging the backdrop like you did. I always think of doing the backdrop against a wall instead of floating like that. Very creative! The whole setup looks great.
