I am hosting a girls (2nd – 6th grades) craft party for 9 girls from my homeschool co-op next Fri. night. My original plan was to make marble magnets, but the materials are pricey and difficult to find and I’m out of time to order them.
I want their crafts to be beautiful, useful and suitable for gift giving. Any ideas you can quickly share? It needs to be something we can do as a group with each girl making it her own.
Thanks,
Christie
Friendship bracelets! You’ll need embroidery floss in different colors (about .25 per skein) and if you want to get fancy, some letter or other beads so they can personalize them. If you need instructions, I’m sure they’re all over the Internet. Plus the craft department may have them.
HTH,

Or you do weaving on ink pens with embroidery floss. It’s been a long time since I made them so I don’t have the directions.
You know the girls to know if they could do glass etching. You can find vases and such at the craft store. They also have armor etch or some other glass etcher. Then you can trace designs onto clear contact paper. Attch the contact paper to the glass. Use an exacto knife to cut out the part you want etched. Apply the etching material, let it sit while you eat and talk, then wash it off while wearing a rubber glove. It’s beautiful and elegant.
You could also make jewelry.
How about picture frames? You can normally find cheap wooden pictures frames for around $1 at Michael’s, or other craft stores. Then you could either paint them (paint from craft stores is normally pretty cheap), glue colored sand on them in different designs, glue colored craft stones on them, find some cheap fake flowers that you could glue just the head of the flower on, get some puffy paint to design them, etc…….what you could do with them is up to your imagination! And each girl can personalize it all her own.
Or, if you got the small terracotta pots you could paint those, as well. Then, you could have a packet of seeds for each girl to stick in it. It would be a great gift! Another idea would be to have some tulle and pretty ribbon and fill the tulle with some holiday candy, tie it with a bow, and set it in the pot.
What about ducktape bags or wallets?? You can find ducktape almost anywhere and in a million differant colors. There are some amazing tutorials on how to do a bag or wallet if you google them.
Hi,
Cookie jars-the kind that you fill with the ingrediants and then they add the recipe, maybe add a wooden spoon. Christmas ornaments, many ideas for this one. Have them make some cards to give, use stamps, paper, ribbons, buttons, etc. Make about 5-10 then put with envelopes add a pen. I have boughten a small art canvas and have them bring pictures of them with the person that they are giving the gift to, then make a collage with the pictures, papers, stamps, tissue paper,paints, etc. You just use the Modge Podge stuff.
Thats all I have for know.
Blessings,
Vanessa
