Let’s talk about some cute crafts that are simple to do! Like I said I am not super crafty but here is what my friends and I have managed.
Patch Sweatshirts
Over NYE my best friend and I went to Joanne’s and got fabric to make patches for our sweatshirts. I crafted mine into a sail boat and she did a lobster. It is super easy, Pinterest has a bunch of inspiration.
All you need:
- Sweatshirt of your choosing
- Fabric
- Fabric glue or sewing materials
Friendship bracelets
Fun fact my best friends and I are huge ravers. Over time we have accumulated different kandies (friendship bracelets). It is always so fun to be able to make seasonal types of friendship bracelets that we get to trade at raves and concerts. Will that may not be your thing – there is something calming with making friendship bracelets.
Obvi it could be Valentine’s bracelets like the sweetheart candy bracelet theme. Or you could do the eye color bracelet trend. Which is where you match the beads to the eye color(s) of everyone at the party.
