Craft projects add to the fun at parties for people of all ages. If crafts are going to be a part of your next party, is important to keep the craft as easy as possible to keep guests engaged and the party moving towards the next activity. If a project is too hard, it may be frustrating to some of your younger participants or use up too much party time. - Supply each attendee with string, beads, charms and jewelry findings to make their own necklace or bracelet is fun for boys and girls alike. Keeping the beads and charms on plates or towels helps the beads from rolling off the table or work surface. The beads can be plastic, glass, metal, etc. depending on the age of the attendees. Plastic or wooden beads work well for younger children while glass seed beads and metal beads are better suited for older children, teenagers and adults. Each attendee takes their creation home.
- Supply each attendee with a T-shirt that has a piece of cardboard inserted inside it to keep it flat. Each guest is then free to decorate their shirt with fabric markers, fabric glitter glue, gems, etc. This is a fun easy craft project that can be done at the beginning of the party allowing any glue to dry. The shirts will be ready to go home with the attendee by the time the other party activities are finished. The shirts are reminders of the fun they had at the party.
- Prepackaged craft projects can be purchased online as well as at your local craft store. They are easy because the items are all included with instructions in each package. Glue, pens or other basic supplies might need to be included for certain crafts. Guests who do not want to participate in the craft time at the party can take the packaged project home to do later.
- Most parties include cookies, cake or cupcakes. Using these as a craft project is a way for the attendees to be creative and then eat their work. Supply guests with a cookie, cupcake or full-sized cake for a group project. Each attendee can decorate with frosting, sprinkles, candy etc. Use pastry bags (tubes filled with frosting with decorative tips), butter knives and other creative tools for spreading the frosting.
