Arts & Crafts Party 

Invitations ~ Decorations ~ Crafts

This party was for my daughter and we just had it in March. It was a wonderful party! As the parents were leaving, many of them asked if I offered party planning services. I laughed since I thought they were joking around, but then they said, "No, we're serious, do you?" :)

Invitations
I created custom invitations on Create & Print. I had my daughter draw a picture. I then scanned the picture and inserted it onto the card with a decorative photo frame from my photo editing program. I downloaded some crayon clipart to complete the invitation.

Decorations
We decorated with colorful balloons & streamers. I also purchased two crayon ballons to add to the arts & crafts theme. I collected some of my daughter's favorite pictures, matted them on colored construction paper and hung them around the room to resemble an art gallery. I purchased a large fabric crayon hanging on Ebay to accent the party room. The tables were covered with bright colored tableclothes purchased at the party store.

Crafts
Since I knew I was going to have a large number of guests, I purchased crafts that the kids could do without much assistance including Magic Scratch Bookmarks, Magic Scratch Glasses, Design Your Own Visor and Artist Cups. I also purchased plain white bags for the kids to decorate with stickers and markers when they first arrived. They used these bags to keep all of their party goodies in!

Food & Cake
I purchased two plastic art palettes from the local craft store. I filled the palettes with pretzel sticks and goldfish crackers. For lunch, I served pizza and fruit. I made kabobs with the fruit. The kids loved them! For dessert, I created a Cupcake Tree. I tinted the icing in five bright colors and purchased Crayola Crayon and Crayon Box decorative picks to accent the cupcakes.

crayon planter
Colorful Bean Bag Toss
Purchased a bean bag game at a local store. This went with the colorful crayon theme.


Pin the Paint on the Palette Game
A take off on 'Pin the Tail on the Donkey'. I purchased birthday party poster board at Staples and drew a large paint palette on it with the yellow color palette missing. I accented the palette by taping on real paint brushes. I cut out yellow circles and put each child's name on it. During the party, I added some double stick tape to the circle so the kids could stick it to the game board.


The Crayon Limbo
Purchased a large inflatable crayon. I downloaded the Limbo Rock from Walmart Music. The kids did the limbo under the giant crayon!

I love at-home birthday parties. For my daughters 9th birthday we used a vase I've designed as the party favors. The girls loved decorating the decorative wraps with stamps, "real artist pens, pencils, pastels and paints" and add as much glitter as they liked.

Everyone got to take home their vase filled with party favors: pencils with flowers glued to the erasers, lollipops and licorice!

Several of my daughters friends have told me they still have their pots and use them as pencil holders.

Thanks for sharing your great ideas and wonderful lens ~ Cathy
