DIY Candy Kabobs for a Beading Birthday Party

8/19/2015

Over the past 6 years, as moms have booked parties, we have always suggested that they do a candy kabob making station at their party. 

This activity goes so well with the theme of beading, the kids love doing it, it is such a fun and easy activity and it becomes a inexpensive  and beautiful lootbag for them to bring home.  

Below are instructions for candy kabob making.

YOU WILL NEED:

• Gummy candy
• Ribbon
• Bamboo skewers
• Clear cellophane bags (I used 4×6 bags from michaels.)


Choose a variety of candies, if you are following a colour scheme at your party, this is a good chance for you to continue with that theme.  Each kabob uses  10 to 15 gummies per skewer, depending on candy size.

Place the gummy candies into bowls and place in the middle of the table.  Set up a skewer at each child's spot, have nametags ready so that the kabobs can be labeled with they are completed.

Have each child place the candies onto the skewer, pressing the candies 2/3 down the skewer. Alternate styles, sizes, flavors, and/or colors. 

Make sure that the children are careful with the bamboo skewers.  One of the ends is very sharp and the children may poke themselves if they are not careful.  Keep placing the candies on until the skewer is 2/3 full, all the way to the top on one end.

Place each kabob into a clear cellophane bag and tie with a ribbon.  Place a label with the child's name on the finished kabob.

Beading Buds Jewellery Making Photo Shoot

Beading Buds birthday party jewelry making
We recently did a photoshoot with Babywisp to help promote some of the new packages that we are offering. 

On a beautiful summer day we invited a few girls that love crafts and jewellery making, and we spent a lovely afternoon making jewellery. 

The girls did such a wonderful job and their necklaces were absolutely gorgeous.


American Girl Beading Buds birthday party matching necklaces
One of our little beaders brought her American Girl doll to the photoshoot and decided to make matching Frozen Elsa necklaces for herself and for her doll.   We love how she and her doll are wearing matching Babywisp hairclips.

In the past we have done so many American Girl Beading Buds birthday parties where all the girls made matching necklaces with their dolls, and we are always so happy to offer this service.

Mermaid jewellery making birthday party entertainment
Another one of our little beaders loves mermaids and so she made a mermaid themed pearl necklace using purple and teal glass pearls. 

She wanted to wear the necklace right away, and has requested that we come to her birthday party to do our Mermaid Princess Package.  She also loved her beautiful Babywisp aquamarine hairbow and has been wearing it ever since.

We had such a wonderful time with our little models, and we hope that they enjoy their new necklaces.

One of the best parts of having a Beading Buds birthday party is that the jewelry made becomes the lootbag, but sometimes moms like to buy something extra for the girls to take home from the party.  Baby Wisp offers great discounts on bulk purchases so you can fill up lootbags with quality products at a reasonable price! Are you one of those moms who don't want to give out plasticky junk or unhealthy candies? Here's a great alternative!! Baby Wisp now offers bulk discounts on products specifically for lootbag goodies! You can get unique lootbag items for a child's birthday party to give out at your little girl's party that won't get thrown out as soon as you give it out.   To see their newest products click here.

Jewellery Making Birthday Party Cake Ideas

Birthday cakes are a huge part of any birthday party. 

When moms book a jewellery making birthday party with us, they usually ask us for cake suggestions. 

Over the years we have seen so many great cake ideas that we love to share and we love to see our ideas turned into stunning cakes when we arrive at the party.

One of our favourite cake ideas is a jewellery box birthday cake.  This cake is so easy to make, and can be as simple or as elaborate as you choose. 

All you do is to bake (or buy) two square cakes, and then lay one down, and place the other one behind it standing up.  Then decorate it with icing, and put on all of your accessories, such as candy necklaces, candy bracelets, ringpops, and candy to look like beads.

Another fun idea is to make cupcakes, frost them in a colour to match the theme of your party (such as blue and purple icing for a mermaid party). 

Place candy rings or real rings on top of each cupcake as a decoration. 

Children just love this and cupcakes are such an easy alternative to a cake, you can just hand them out without the hassle of cutting a cake.

We have many other fun cake ideas on our pinterest board, click here to see all of our wonderful cake ideas.
