​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 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.

So far this year, our unicorn fancy bracelet party has been our most popular.  This package, designed for girls ages 5-8, is perfect for a unicorn themed birthday party, children are taught to make a memory wire bracelet with a special unicorn charm.  Using our professional bead trays, each little beader will customize their bracelet with the charm of their choice and by choosing their favourite special sparkly beads.

We love the children's excitement when they see the many beautiful beads and charms that they can choose from. Once they have completed their work of art, we play a few games, have a fashion show and do a photo shoot (optional).

The package includes beading materials for a bracelet, instructors for 75 minutes, beading princess tiara, special colouring activity, invitations and elegant jewellery storage pouch. $170 plus hst for 10 children or less, $16 plus hst for each additional child.

Here are some photos from a Mississauga, Ontario girl's 6th unicorn themed birthday party that we did this weekend.  The mom planned the party as a surprise for her daughter.  The girls made unicorn bracelets and then did our special unicorn themed colouring activity.  It was such a fun and special party!

This past weekend we had the honor of being a part of this beautiful First Communion celebration in Vaughan, Ontario.

The mom organized such a beautiful event.  The main colours were blush, pink and gold.  From the cotton candy booth, to the stunning unicorn themed cakepops, cake and party decor, to the activities for the children, every last detail was thought of.  The guest of honor loves to craft, and so the mom incorporated our First Communion Rosary Bracelet Package into the event.  We were so happy when she wanted to put on her bracelet right away and was proudly showing all the other guests.  The children each made a rosary bracelet which then became their party favour.  We also brought a special cross colouring page which the children absolutely loved.

We truly enjoyed every moment of this incredible event, and the mother was such a pleasure to deal with, her organization, attention to detail and kindness made this an event we will never forget.

This post we are going to highlight an amazing 9 year old sleepover themed birthday party that we were a part of in Burlington, Ontario.

This mom was such a pleasure to deal with.  She and her daughter, the birthday girl, had a vision of creating a special slumber party and what they came up was truly unbelievable. 

The decor was so incredible.  The mom had custom teepees for all of the guests with personalized pillows and blankets.  She had trays in front of each teepee and the girls did their beading on the tray.

The mom also had a waffle bar, a movie snack station, and everything was rainbow, from the food, to the decor, to the birthday cake.

The girls made friendship bracelets to go with the theme of a sleepover.

This was such a fun party and we are so thankful to the mom for sending us these beautiful photos so that we could feature this incredible party!

We are so excited to feature this Toronto craft fashion birthday party that took place in North York, Ontario.  This was a very special 10 year old birthday party for us because the birthday girl had two older sisters and we have done their 10th birthday parties, we felt so special to have become part of this family's 10 birthday party tradition.  Because this mom had done two 10th birthday parties already, she wanted this one to be extra special and was really having a hard time choosing a theme.  We finally decided to make it a fashion craft party and it was a hit with this group of tweens!

The main entertainment for the party was our friendship bracelet package.  The girls all made bracelets with little heart charms that said made with love or best friends.

After the jewelry making was done, the mom made a runway inspired by a runway that she saw on pinterest (see top center photo).  The mom had a big box of feather boas, dress up clothes, sunglasses and hair accessories, and the girls had so much fun dressing up and walking down the runway.  After the fashion show, the mom had the girls pose for photos using a large frame that she had prepared.  She was inspired by a photo online, see top left photo.  The mom then printed out the photos and sent them out with her thank you cards after the party.

The mom had a cake made using the inspiration from the top right photo.  She made sure to have a necklace on the cake to go with the theme of jewelry making.

This was such a fun and special fashion craft birthday party for us!

We often are so inspired by the amazing ideas that so many of our clients come up with, that we have decided to start blogging about them to give other moms ideas of what they can do at their party.  This post we are going to highlight a unicorn themed birthday party that we did in Waterloo, Ontario.

This Waterloo, Ontario mom went all out for her 7 year old daughter's birthday party.  They came up with the idea to do a unicorn party when they saw what a hit the Starbucks unicorn frappe was with her daughter and her friends.  They decided that they wanted to do a party using the colours of the frappe and they went all out. 

They asked us to bring only teal and pink beads as well as unicorn charms to go with their theme, we were thrilled with how they bracelets turned out.

The mom also made unicorn bark using only 3 ingredients and it looked so pretty, here is how to make unicorn bark.  She also had beautiful pastel cupcakes and made unicorn frappes. here is the unicorn frappe recipe.

It was such a fun party and we were so happy to be a part of it!

In ten years of providing jewelry making birthday parties, we have been to many dance themed birthday parties.  This is no surprise since many of our little beaders dance and often invite their whole dance group to their birthday parties.

When doing a dance themed party the first thing you do is design your invitation.  There are so many beautiful dance invitations, but the tulle invitations are our favourite, and here is a video showing you how to make it.

The decor for a dance and/or ballet themed party is so beautiful.  Lots of pink tulle, gold sparkles, and ballet dancer cutouts.  You can make pink tulle table skirts and chair covers to make the party even more magical.

Food at a dance and/or ballet themed party is all pink and cream with gold accents.  Pink cupcakes with gold sprinkles, pink macaroons, parfaits, white bread with pink cream cheese, and pink lemonade.

Activities for your dance themed party can include musical chairs, hot potato, or freeze dance to ballet music, making bracelets using pinks and creams with a dance charm.  Decorating your down dance bag, or the girls can create their own dance and preform it at the end of the party.

We hope we inspired you with our dance party ideas.  Comment with any ideas of your own.  Have a great party!
