Art Craft Parties

Picture
Artcraftparty offers creative and exciting art project services for children's parties, Girl Scout gatherings, even slumber parties!  

You decide on the project for the party. All children who attend will be able to take home their jewelry or artwork at the end of the party. There are age recommendations with each project. 

The Artcraft activity will last about an hour.  The directions are given and a picture of the pattern, as well as a finished example is displayed for the children’s reference. I personally clasp the ends of the necklace with professional jewelry tools. 

Parents normally arrange food and games after the activity, while the art work is drying or being clasped, as in the case of a jewelry party.

All art and beading materials will be provided.  The party host is responsible for providing tables, tablecloths and chairs for all the children attending the party. 


The cost of the party is calculated on a project per-child basis. The project costs can be found at the end of each description. There is a 10 child party minimum or the difference in cost. In order to accommodate parties of 20 or more children, the project will be staged in two group sessions. As this requires additional time, a $50 fee will be applied.
