As I am swiftly approaching 40 I have been thinking about how to celebrate the big day. I am aiming to get a balance of something in the morning for friends, afternoon for family and children and evening for those that want to continue partying. Crafting parties can provide a creative and fun
activity that anyone can have a go at with no experience needed. These
parties are suitable for all ages and there is a huge variety of activities to
choose from suitable for a range of occasions; birthday, baby shower,
hen party, Christmas party and many more.
Crafting is a brilliant group
activity and ideal if you want to do something indoors and alcohol free. No
falling into mud or drunken arguments here! Just lots of creativity and laughs
to be had as you help each other make lovely keepsakes to remember the day.
So the big question is which crafting
activity to choose? Here is a selection of the most popular and enjoyable
crafting parties – you are guaranteed to have a great time with the group here!
1.
Chocolate Making
For all you
foodies out there why not take a chocolate making class. During the class you
can taste a selection of delicious chocolates before learning how to make the
chocolate, starting right at the cocoa bean. You will be guided through the
whole process and at the end you can take your homemade creations away with you
for others to try – unless you eat them all first! This would be a good one to
organise for someone who absolutely loves chocolate and would be a fun surprise
for them. Prepare to get messy!
2.
Flower Crown Making
How about
putting your hands to crown making? Think summer festivals and girls wearing pretty
floral headbands – this is what you can make from scratch in this crafting
party. This is a lovely activity to do with the girls, maybe for a hen party or
baby shower. You will be provided with materials such as faux flowers, leaves
and berries so you can get creative and make a beautiful crown. What is great
is that you can take your crown home with you and wear it whenever you like!
Take a group photo modelling your crowns for a cute keepsake to frame.

Perfect for
a special occasion such as Mother's Day. At this party you can learn how to make
your very own unique, individual scent. You will be guided through the creative

your own individual creations.

or for a brides wedding venue. Each person will be taught how to make bunting

for a party. Lots of different materials are provided so you can create your
own personal styles of bunting.
