Despicable Me Birthday ... Snack Bar (Food Ideas & Printable Food Tents

HOLD ON IT'S A LONG POST WITH LOT'S OF IDEAS .. LOL.  

Next on the todo list was the food!  I had to do a fun sign "Caden's Snack Bar" and served the food in dog bowls like Gru served candy and water to the girls in the first movie.  I found the ideas of the snack bar sign and the shrunken moons on One Lucky Pickle, she has some great ideas for a Despicable me party check it out! 

I made the sign using my Cricut (Personal Electronic Cutting Machine) and my George and Basic Shapes Cartridge.

Here is how I did the sign:

I made ovals for the minions (cutting off the bottom and sides)

Circles for the eyes and added a google eye

I made a "I" for the eye strip

And made his name in 2 colors to make it pop

Glue it all on with your craft glue.

Board found at the dollar tree.

Close up of the Sign:

For the food I found these simple Food Tents on Family Shopping Bag.  I took her template pasted into word doc and added some fun food names using the Minion font I downloaded.
