​Hosting a Barbie-themed jewelry making birthday party can be a fun and creative way to celebrate. Here are some tips to make your party a success:

1. Invitations: Create Barbie-themed invitations with colorful designs, glitter, or pictures of Barbie. Make sure to include the date, time and location.

2. Decorations: Use pink, purple, and other vibrant colors to decorate the party area. Hang Barbie posters, balloons, and streamers. Set up a dedicated table for jewelry making with a Barbie tablecloth or themed decorations.

3. Dress code: Encourage guests to dress up in Barbie-inspired outfits or costumes. You can provide accessories like tiaras, boas, and feathered boas to enhance the Barbie theme.

4. Jewelry-making station: Set up a well table for the jewelry-making station.  You can order kits from Beading Buds or hire an instructor to lead the jewelry making session.  Ask about our special themed Barbie bracelet party. 

5. Barbie-themed activities: Incorporate Barbie-themed activities into the party. For example, you could organize a "Design a Barbie Outfit" contest using paper and markers, or a "Pin the Necklace on Barbie" game.

6.  Snacks and refreshments: Offer Barbie-themed snacks and refreshments. You can serve pink lemonade, cupcakes with pink frosting, and cookies shaped like tiaras or dresses. Consider labeling the food with Barbie-inspired names.

7. Party favors: Prepare goody bags or boxes for guests to take home. Include some of the jewelry pieces they made during the party, along with small Barbie-themed items like stickers, temporary tattoos, or mini dolls.

8. Music and dancing: Create a playlist with popular Barbie songs or other upbeat and fun music. Encourage the guests to dance and have a good time during the party.

9. Capture memories: Set up a photo booth area with Barbie-themed props and accessories where guests can take pictures. You can also hire a photographer or assign someone to capture candid moments throughout the party.

Remember to tailor these tips to suit the age group and preferences of the guests attending the party. Have fun and enjoy the Barbie-themed jewelry making birthday party!

We recently were a part of this special mermaid themed 8th birthday party in Mississauga, Ontario.

This was such a fun party.  The mom chose the most beautiful pastel colours and then we matched those colours and created mermaid themed bead kits.  Since all of the bracelets were the same, we added in letter beads with the guests names on them.  The girls were absolutely thrilled with their bracelets and put them on right away.  

Such a fun party that we will always remember.

This weekend we were invited to be a part of a socially distanced backyard outdoor 10th birthday party in Oakville, Ontario. 

This party was for a total of 6 girls, consisting of 3 sets of sisters.  The mom had us come at 10:30 a.m. so that it would not be too hot for the girls to make their bracelets.  The birthday girl really wanted the bracelets to be a bit more grown up, she wanted to incorporate her favourite colour blue, and she loved the idea of each girl being able to put her name on her bracelet. 

We sanitized the boards ahead of the party. The birthday girl choose the bead colours and charms prior to the party and we prepared, sanitized and safely individually packaged each bracelet project. Then we distributed them to  the children at the party in the shaded backyard.  Each set of sisters sat on their own blanket and the girls were able to chat and catch up while beading together, the bracelets took about 45 minutes to make and then we did some colouring while we waited for everyone to finish.  Once the bracelets were made, the mom handed out pre-made picnic lunches that she had made that morning and customized to what each girl liked to eat, it was such a nice touch.

This was such a fun party and we were so happy to be a part of it. 

 As we return to providing onsite birthday parties, the health and well being of our customers and team members is our top priority, this is what we are doing to keep us all safe.  

We have created a new party package where the children can make bracelets and personalized boomarks for smaller parties with six children or less for those that would prefer a smaller party, this party can take place outdoors.   We also have an American Girl themed birthday party for 8 children or less.

We are maintaining the highest standard of safety and sanitization when it comes to our beads and other materials.  The birthday child will choose the bracelet and bookmark colours and charms and will provide us with the party guests names prior to the party and we will prepare, sanitize and safely individually package each bracelet and bookmark project prior to the party.  They will be distributed by the instructor to the children at the party.

We will continue to follow the recommendations of local, provincial and national public health officials.  

We are so excited to be able to bead with you again! 

With the beautiful summer weather finally here, for social distancing, our DIY birthday party bracelet kits are perfect for outdoor birthday parties and online Zoom parties.  We maintain the highest standard of safety and sanitization and each kit is individually packaged.  Visit our birthday party bracelet kit page for more information.

Unicorn birthday parties continue to be our most popular package and we are so excited to feature this  unicorn themed 6th Birthday Party in Toronto, Ontario.

This mom was such a creative and crafty mom.  When we walked in and saw how beautifully the room was decorated we  were so excited to start beading.

The mom ordered unicorn headbands and the guests loved wearing them throughout the party.  We brought pastel beads to match colours that that mom decorated with and our unicorn themed bracelets and unicorn colouring activities were the perfect complement to the party.

A big thank you to the mom and birthday girl for choosing us to be a part of such an amazing party.

We wanted to share about this 8th unicorn jewelry making birthday party that we did in Oakville, Ontario.  We knew most of the guests from running jewelry making programs at their school and that always makes it an extra special party for us.

The event venue was the restaurant at the Ontario Racquet Club and it was the perfect location.  The 7 and 8 year old guests made bracelets with unicorn charms and they did such a great job.  The party decor was rose gold, blush and gold and it was so beautiful. 

We had the best time making unicorn bracelets with these crafty girls!  Thank you for letting us be a part of your 8th birthday party celebration.

This weekend we did such a special 10th Birthday Party in Mississauga, Ontario.  We have known the birthday girl since she was born, and it was such an honour and privilege to be a part of her double digits birthday!

The birthday girl's mom always does such an amazing decorating job and this party was no exception!  The girls were in awe of the beautiful cake, cookies and cake pops.  The decorations were beautiful from the balloons, to the backdrop, to the beautiful sparkly tablecloth. 

After the party the mom sent us the sweetest message saying the girls had a blast, they were talking and laughing the whole time and the bracelets were gorgeous. 

A big thank you to the birthday girl and her mom for letting us be a part of such a wonderful party!
