Crafty Fun for all ages!

I have often had people ask me, in the past, if I host Adult craft parties and the answer is most certainly YES! Craft parties for special occasions are a great way to keep your guests entertained and talking, all the while creating something special for the guest of honour ie. the Bride, the Mum-to-Be or the new baby!

Nothing is as personal as homemade shower gifts. When you make something yourself, the receiver feels extra special because your heart and soul have gone into the creation. Going to the shops and picking out the perfect gift takes time and effort,  But, to sit down and create something with your own hands and your own imagination takes a little bit more thought and love.

 Talk to us today about tailoring a package to suit your extra special occasion.

We will keep you and your friends busy for up to 2 hours. A wonderful way of putting all your memories down on paper or to create that special album for your favourite bride or new grandson!

For more information feel free to give us a call on 0425882715

Happy Crafting!

(REAL STORIES) Wonderful WORD Art!

 Here we are with another fabulous WORD art party for some fabulous 12 year old girls. Our word art party is one of our most popular parties, especially with the older kids and who wouldn't agree? When you get to create and design and totally unique piece of room decor to be just what you want. Some wanted bright colours with heaps of ribbons and 'bling', others wanted plain white with a few sparkles.

I think we can count this wonderful birthday a success when there was a deafening 'quiet' over their working tables. (Funny, Dad had already pre-warned the neighbours that a rowdy bunch of girls were attending. Well he got a shock! Not a peep, except for the odd giggle!)

 Not really in the right order are they, oh well.

(CRAFTY KIDS) Thumbprint Valentines!

 I have enjoyed having my children make their very own cards to give out for Valentines this year!Capture a lovely moment with your kids this Valentines Day by creating personal Valentine's Day Cards with their thumbprints! The kids will love being able to draw or stamp on their own skin and not get into trouble! These cards are simple to make and a wonderful keepsake that you can keep or frame to remind you of how little they used to be!!! (Sniff....Sniff!)

Some tips to remember before you start:

• Thumbprint Materials - An ink pad gives a clear and defined thumbprint and dries almost instantly, but finger paints and even acrylic paints can be used. If you're using paints, dab a little on a piece of card stock. Rub your finger around and make sure it is just lightly coated - too much paint will create globs. Wash fingers before using another color, and let the thumbprint dry before adding accents. Of course fingers can be used too - depending on the size and shape of the print you want.
• Changing Colours - Have a damp washcloth or wet wipes handy to wipe off excess paint from child’s hands when changing colors. When finished with this project, have child wash hands with soap and water.
• Get creative and use whatever colors you like. Just remember to use colors that contrast with your construction paper to be sure it shows up well. Once the thumbprint is dry, why not add some features using a pen - An arrow through the heart, draw faces,  create different animals or creatures!
• Messages - You may want to have the child write their personal message inside the card before starting the paint process. It can be done afterward, but if done before there’s no risk of accidentally messing up these cute creations.

Happy Valentines Day everyone!
