Shopkins Beading Birthday Party

5/10/2016

Lately we have noticed a large trend in Shopkins themed birthday parties, and we think it's such a fun theme and goes perfectly with a beading birthday party.
Here is how to have an amazing Shopkins themed beading birthday party.

Add faces to popcorn cups to have functional party decor.

Love these cupcakes with a Shopkin on top found at karaspartyideas.com.
First you need some Shopkins themed party invitations.  A great way to make invitations is to use a free online printable or template to create a custom Shopkins birthday party invite.  Here is a sample of a fun and easy template.

Once the invites are sent out it is time to start planning your party decor.  Use lots of bright colours.  Use online printables to print out large Shopkins characters or banners with Shopkins characters on them.  Using marker, add faces to popcorn cups to make your own Poppy Corn.

A fun idea of what to do at your party is to make Shopkins themed bff necklaces.  Here is a link showing you how to make these necklaces.  You can add this charm to any of our amazing birthday party packages.

Another fun game is to play Shopkins trivia or provide Shopkins colour pages.  Visit shopkinsworld.com for great printables.

Make your own Shopkins themed pinata and fill it with candy and Shopkins. 

When choosing your cake, be sure to include Shopkins in the theme, the guests will be thrilled to receive their own Shopkins.  An easy and fun idea is to frost cupcakes in your favourite bright colours and then place a Shopkin on top of each cupcake.

We hope you find our Shopkins birthday party tips helpful!

Bollywood Themed Tikka Beading Party

10/29/2015

0 Comments

 
We recently did a bollywood themed beading birthday party where the girls made tikka headpieces.  It was such a fun party and it really goes perfectly with the theme of beading.  The party was such a hit, that we are adding this theme to our beading party packages.

Here are some tips and tricks to help you throw your own amazing bollywood beading birthday party.

A cake for a bollywood birthday party should be very colourful with lots of bold colours. 

If possible use edible beads.  The goes well with the theme of beading and the theme of bollywood.  Use lots of gold and silver to make the cake look magical.

Every party needs a few themed crafts to keep the guests busy.  A simple and fun idea with big impact is to use sticker gem beads to decorate around the girls eyes.  Purchase some henna tattoos and have the girls apply the tattoos to each other while you are doing the face stickers.  Finally, another fun use of stickers gems is to buy flip flops for each guest and have them decorate them with the sticker gems.  This also becomes a fun take home loot bag. 

Another craft that we love is to have the girls create a Tikka.  We will soon be offering kits and packages on making your own Tikka, but in the meantime, check out this link for making a diy tikka headpiece click here.

Now that the girls are all blinged out with their eye jewels, henna tattoos, new slippers and tikka headpieces, it is time for the girls to do something active. 

Purchase some glass bangles for each child.  This can also become part of their take home loot bag.  Put on a bollywood music video and let the girls have some fun dancing along.

For  more ideas and bollywood themed birthday party inspiration, check out our pinterest page click here.  We hope you enjoyed this blog post about bollywood birthday parties.  If you have any suggestions of your own, we would love to know about them in the comments below.

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.

5 Easy DIY Girl Birthday Party Decorations

Tissue paper flower tutorial1) Tissue paper flowers (twotwentyone).
There are hundreds of  inexpensive DIY party decorations that can make your party magical.  We have picked our top 5 DIY birthday party decorations for girls.

1)       Tissue Paper Flowers

This is our absolute favourite party decoration.  You can make them big or small, in any colour, and there are so many different variations to choose from.   See our last blog post to see how to make these stunning decorations or check out this easy tutorial from http://www.twotwentyone.net/2014/04/how-to-make-tissue-paper-pom-poms/ 

Pink gold white tissue paper garland2) Tissue paper garland (hgtv.com).
  2)       Tissue Paper Garland

We love making these in matching colours to the tissue paper flowers.  These can be made in tissue paper or sparkly paper.  The perfect complement to beading birthday parties, we have seen them in every shade of blue for spa, under the sea or little mermaid parties, or we have seen them in sparkly pinks and golds for princess parties.  Here is a detailed  tutorial http://www.hgtv.com/design/make-and-celebrate/entertaining/make-your-own-tissue-paper-tassel-garland.

3)      Upside Down Balloons

Instead of filling up balloons with helium, use blown up balloons and hang them from the ceiling upside down.   This way you do not have to pay for helium but it gives you the same effect.  It gives you the same floating effect as balloons filled with helium without the additional price.  Check out some beautiful samples here http://www.ca.momtastic.com/life/168718-an-upside-down-take-on-a-classic-party-decoration/

  4)       Confetti  Filled Balloons

This is a simple update on decorating with balloons.  Fill clear balloons with confetti before blowing them up.  If you are not using helium, hang them from the ceiling (see party decor tip above).  For an simple tutorial check out http://www.babble.com/home/25-clever-ideas-for-diy-party-decor/.

Picture5) No sew tutu skirt (catch my party).
5)      No Sew Tutu Table Skirt

This no sew tutu skirt may take a little bit more work, but after the party, your daughter can keep it in her bedroom and it will dress up the whole room.  We think this would be perfect for a spa party (in blue and silver), a princess or fairy party (in purple, pink or gold) and a ballet party (in pink).  For a detailed tutorial check out http://catchmyparty.com/blog/no-sew-tulle-table-skirt-diy-tutorial.

We hope you enjoy these tutorials as much as we did!

There is something so magical about warm summer days and nights.  Every summer we have many requests from moms asking if they can do a Beading Buds birthday party outside and we always say absolutely and then give them some advice on making their outdoor jewelry making even more magical.

One of the benefits of having an outdoor party is that you can use the beauty of nature as part of your party decor.  Hang tissue paper flowers, lanterns and balloons from trees.  Use outdoor plants to add ambiance.   Lay out blankets on the ground so the children have an area to work at.  Preferably lay out the blankets under trees so the children have some shade, if they do not have shade, you can rent a large tent which will provide shade and add to the party decor.

An outdoor party is the perfect opportunity for  facepainting.  Set up a facepainting station in the corner and you can paint the children's faces one at a time as they are making their beaded project.  You can also set up a candy kabob making station.  This is a fun party activity that goes well with the theme of beading, and can be an additional loot bag.

The best type of food to serve at these parties is summer bbq food, pink lemonade and cupcakes .

Here are some photos from an outdoor Beading Buds birthday party that we recently did.  This mother combined her two daughter's birthday parties in one.  Half of the girls aged 5,6, and 7 made necklaces, the other half, aged 9, 10 and 11 made memory wire bracelets.  It was a fun and crafty way to spend a beautiful summer afternoon.

Advantages To An At Home Party

6/28/2015

 There are many advantages to having an at home birthday party, and with our fabulous instructors running the party, we make the party even easier!

1)      Child More Comfortable - Younger children or children that are more on the shy side feel much more comfortable having a party at home in familiar surroundings.

2)      Time Restraints - Most party places allocate a certain amount of time for your party and you have to be packed up and out of the party place at a certain time, when you have a party at home, you are on your own schedule which alleviates stress.

3)      Party Decor - You have more control over the party decor, if you are doing a theme party (such as a jewelry making party) you can transform your house to go with the theme of your party.  If the weather is nice, you can host a magical birthday party in your backyard or garden.

4)      Privacy – At many birthday party places, they have several parties going on at the same time, when you have the party at home you ensure that all the guests have a chance to meet and spend time together in the your home. 

5)      No Maximum – Many party places do not allow parents to stay, when the party is at your home, the adults can enjoy the party as well as the kids, this is a great way for you to meet and spend time with your child’s friend’s parents (and the parents can help out at the party, which makes it easier for you!)

Our fabulous instructors make any in home party special.  But we also offer DIY jewelry making birthday party kits, perfect for an in home party or in your backyard.  We also offer virtual birthday parties for anywhere in the world.  Contact us for more information.
