Jewelry Making Party
Submitted By: Nancy
If you are looking for a fresh party idea, consider a jewelry making party. This theme works for a wide range of ages—from early elementary school all the way through to adults.
One of the great things about jewelry parties is that the activity doubles as the party favor. Instead of a “goody bag” filled with stuff that will be thrown out the next day, your guests leave with something they made themselves that they are proud to wear.
There are a variety of ways to approach throwing a jewelry party. One option is to look for a local bead shop or big box hobby store.
Many of these stores offer space, an instructor and a pre-determined project, such as an elastic cord bracelet, on a per-child basis.
They are a great option if you prefer not to have a party at home.
Another option is to buy your own supplies at your local hobby store or bead store and let the kids go at it. The hobby/craft store supplies tend to work best for younger children who are not especially picky about the quality of their materials.
Bead stores, of course, offer a much wider selection of materials and much higher quality—but at a much higher price.
A third option is to buy a prepackaged kit that gives you the convenience of the out-of-home approach and the quality you would expect from a bead store--but at an affordable price.
One site, www.Bijouxinabox.com has a number of projects that can be customized for your party’s theme. Each kit makes 4 individual projects and there is enough variety of materials so that each person’s project is very unique and requires no prior jewelry-making skills or special tools.
Projects ranges in cost from $4 to $9.50 per child and come with complete, simple instructions.
A jewelry party is also one of the most mellow options for a party that I have seen. The kids get fully engaged and very quiet as they work on their projects. Heaven for frazzled parents!
