a crafting party
January 19, 2013 § 8 Comments
After a week’s delay for my Bella to get over being sick, she was finally able to have her super-fun crafting sleepover party with a few friends. Bella loves to craft almost as much as I do (and that’s saying something), and so planning this party together was a lot of fun. She chose the cool color combo – aqua and lime green – something I wouldn’t have thought of, and I loved it! We worked together on the decorations; Bella was so proud of her washi tape flags for the cupcakes. I love the sleeping masks I made for the girls to decorate by sewing on buttons and felt embellishments. And my hubby got a laugh watching me sew (yes, sew) the wax paper favor bags closed!
We made button necklaces from an idea I found on Pinterest, and Bella came up with her own game: a duct tape version of charades. During the night, I printed out some cute pictures of the girls that I took on Instagram, and they were able to add them to their SMASH Books (a cool new scrapbooking line). But the best part was how proud and excited Bella was to share these fun ideas and projects with her friends. Here are some scenes from our craft night – with Valentine’s Day just around the corner, it’s time to get your crafting skills ready.

So sweet. You are the BEST at parties….I often think “what would Carrie do?”
Thank you!!
I loved your party, as I love all your posts! I did my share of craft parties with my kids…just because! Often we would have a little craft party with a couple of friends because a holiday was coming and I had a few ideas I was dying to do!!
Last year we did a Chocolate Party for my daughter’s birthday and that turned out to be really fun ❤
Chocolate party sounds great!! Thanks, Mary!
What great ideas! I know the girls had a blast.
Love it! Jack loves to work on his smash book too. I’m certain it’s not as cute as Bella’s though ;-).
