Are you ready to embark on an underwater adventure filled with shimmering treasures and enchanting jewelry? If you're planning a birthday party for someone who dreams of being a mermaid, a mermaid themed jewelry making celebration is the perfect choice! With ocean-inspired decorations, glamorous accessories, and hands-on crafting activities, this blog post will guide you through hosting a memorable mermaid themed jewelry making birthday party right in the comfort of your own home.

1. Set the Date and Venue:
Choose a date and time that works best for the birthday person and their guests. Since it's a home-based party, transform a designated area into an underwater oasis. Consider using blue and aqua colors, hanging fishnets, and adding seashells, starfish, and coral-inspired decorations to create an immersive experience.

2. Send Whimsical Invitations:
Send out invitations that capture the magical essence of mermaids. Incorporate images of mermaid tails, shells, and pearls, and add a touch of sparkle with glitter or metallic accents. Include a playful message inviting guests to dive into a world of creativity and to come dressed in their mermaid-inspired attire.

3. Mermaid Bracelet Station:
Order our mermaid bracelet kits or have our instructors host a mermaid themed bracelet beading party.

4. Mermaid Makeover:
Before diving into the jewelry making, pamper your guests with a mermaid-inspired makeover. Offer face painting to give each guest a glittery mermaid scale design or a shimmering aquatic creature on their cheeks. Provide temporary mermaid tattoos or glitter gel to apply on their arms or hands. Encourage them to wear mermaid crowns, seashell headbands, or ocean-inspired accessories to fully embrace the mermaid transformation.

5. Design and Craft Mermaid Jewelry:
Guide your guests through the jewelry-making process, providing inspiration and suggestions along the way. Encourage them to mix and match beads, charms, and pendants to create their own unique mermaid-themed accessories. Help younger guests with knot tying or clasps as needed. As they create their jewelry, share interesting facts about mermaids or ocean trivia to spark their imagination and keep the conversation flowing.

6. Mermaid Photo Booth:
Create a magical mermaid photo booth corner with props such as mermaid tails, seashell crowns, and ocean-themed backdrops. Encourage guests to strike their best mermaid poses and capture the memories. Provide instant cameras or set up a designated area for taking photos with smartphones.

7. Oceanic Refreshments:
Delight your guests with refreshments inspired by the ocean. Serve blue punch or mermaid-themed mocktails in clear cups garnished with blue rock candy "coral." Offer ocean-themed snacks like seaweed salad, fish-shaped crackers, or starfish-shaped sandwiches. Don't forget to include a mermaid-themed birthday cake adorned with edible seashells or a mermaid tail on top.

8. Mermaid Treasure Chest Party Favors:
As a parting gift, prepare a mermaid treasure chest filled with jewelry-making supplies and ocean-inspired goodies. Include a selection of beads, charms, and pendants, along with small organza bags or boxes for storing their newly created jewelry. Add seashell-shaped chocolates, seahorse-shaped keychains, or mini bottles filled with sparkling glitter as extra treats. Personalize each treasure chest with the guest's name for an added touch.

Conclusion:
Hosting a mermaid themed jewelry making birthday party at home is an opportunity to bring the magic of the ocean to life. By incorporating creative activities, dazzling decorations, and delicious refreshments, you'll create an unforgettable experience for the birthday person and their guests. Immerse everyone in the enchanting world of mermaids, where creativity flows as freely as the tides, and where shimmering treasures are crafted with love and imagination.

​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 did a fun 10th jewelry making friendship bracelet party.  

The theme of the party was rose gold.  The mom picked out a beautiful colour story of purple and pink to go with the rose gold and the birthday girl asked if we could bring tree of life charms.

The girls also made custom name bookmarks with beautiful unicorn charms.

We loved working with the birthday girl and her mom to create this incredible 10th birthday party.

We recently attended at the most beautiful 11th bracelet making birthday party.  We had done a party for the birthday girl’s sister in the spring, and it was so nice to be invited back to help celebrate this beautiful birthday girl.  Since the girls were older, we brought more mature bead colours as well as the usual pink, purple and turquoise.  

We had such an amazing time, we even managed to sneak in a photo of our instructor, taken by one of the little guests.

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.

We recently did a friendship bracelet 12th birthday party in Mississauga, Ontario.  This was such a fun and sparkly party.  The girls made glass bead bracelets with a heart charm.  We did the party outside in the back yard and the girls had the best time.  The mom then had the girls make slime, decorate cookies, and then pizza and cake. We had so much fun at this party and loved all of the beautiful sparkly decorations that perfectly matched the theme of the party.  

We recently were a part of the cutest 6th Birthday Party in Port Credit, Ontario.  The theme of the party was unicorns and fairies, and the girls made matching bracelets with fairy charms.  The mom decorated the party using pastel colours, and she made the cutest loot bags in mason jars.

This was an extra special party for us because we knew some of the party guests from our lunchtime school programs.  This was such a fun party to be a part of, thank you for including us in your celebration.

This past weekend we were invited to be a part of a 6th Mermaid themed backyard birthday party in Mississauga, Ontario.  This was a very special birthday party for the sweetest twins and we had the best time making mermaid themed bracelets together.  The mom had beautiful mermaid decorations all over her backyard, and ordered such a special mermaid cake to go with the theme.  We had such an amazing time celebrating together.  

This weekend we were a part of an outdoor 10th Birthday Party in Mississauga, Ontario.  This was such a magical party.  Since the birthday girl was turning double digits, the mom did a grownup rose gold and white themed birthday party.  The girls did our friendship bracelet package and the bracelets had a best friend charm on them and the girls choose from a variety of pastel coloured glass beads.  The girls had so much fun and it was the perfect activity for them to reconnect before school starts up.  

This weekend we did our first outdoor socially distanced jewelry making birthday party and it was such a success.  The mom and I did some research and worked together to plan the perfect 2 hour socially distanced birthday party and this is what we came up with. 

The mom invited 8 girls for a total of 10 people at the party.  The party took place in the backyard and she planned an early evening party so that all the guests would be in shade and it would not be too hot, but enough light to be able to see the beads.

The mom had each guest bring their own blanket to make their jewelry on.  Two of the guests at the party were sisters, so they were able to share a blanket.

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.

We made the bracelets with the girls, then we did a colouring activity, played a game called all about the birthday girl and then the mom handed out pizza and then the cupcakes.  All the girls sang happy birthday from their blanket beading stations and then enjoyed their treats.

​
It was such a fun party and we enjoyed every moment.  We are looking forward to providing many more of these parties this summer.
