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)

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!
