How To Host Your Own Crafty Girls Night!
Whether its a cozy night in with wine and snacks or a full-on craft party, here’s your step by step guide to making it a night to remember!
Step 1: Pick your craft
Every great girls night needs a fun project, and the shadow box kits are sure to be the perfect project for a hands on, mess free craft that looks gorgeous when finished! Choose a theme that fits your vibe!
Step 2: Invite the Girls!
A girls night is ALL about the right crew- so text your besties, drop a cute invite to the group chat, or go all out with custom canvas e-vites!
What to include in the invites:
-
- Date & Time
- Theme (DIY & Sip? PJ’s & Painting)
- What to bring (snacks or drinks?)
Fun Idea: Give the night a name like: “Crafternoon with the girls” or “Painting & Prosecco”
Step 3: Get Crafty! (No experience needed!)
Now for the fun part- Crafting! Hand out the DIY Kits, turn on a fun playlist, and get painting!
Tips to guide the craft:
- Pick your colour palette- Soft pastels? Moody darks? Metallic accents?
- Start painting the layers- Blend sponge, or brush-your masterpiece, your rules!
- Let the pieces dry while you snack and chat!
- Assemble your shadow box masterpiece
Step 4: Show off and Share the Love!
Time for the final reveal! Once your shadow box are complete:
- Take a group pic with your finished pieces
- Tag @ourlittlemakery on instagram or facebook with #diygirlsnight for a chance to be featured!
- Vote for “Best in show”- Most creative? Most Extra?- Let the group decide!
- Fun Extra: Hand out DIY Awards
