Girls Night In Idea: DIY!

Greetings All and Happy Monday!

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and are ready for your week to come!  For this installment of Girls Night In, I wanted to suggest an idea a little closer to my heart, and that's DIY!  Anyone who knows me knows that I am always thinking of ways to do as much as I can with my own two hands; and while I was recently completing a DIY project with my sister I thought "Hey, this would be an excellent idea for a group of ladies to get together and do".  So if your looking for a slightly different approach to your typical night out with your friends this is the blog for you!

Choosing your DIY (do-it-yourself) Project(s):

When choosing the type of project or projects that you want to do, make sure that they are something that everyone attending will enjoy.  For example, you probably shouldn't choose a crocheting project if some people you are inviting have never even seen a crocheting needle before.  Not to worry though, I have included a couple of fun DIY ideas below to help you get started. :)

This easy and super cute jewelry holder can be found here.

Or this very chic glitter pillow found here.

Or even this classic feather headband, found here.











Setting The Scene:

Depending on the type of crafts that you choose to do, you might want to have a set up of different stations with different crafting materials and directions ready for your guests when they arrive.

Also, make sure that there are plenty of refreshments and good music to go around, this will help with the creative flow.  

Concluding The Evening:

After all of the items have been crafted, its a good idea to have gift bags with tags for each one of your guests.  Have them all write either a word or phrase on the tag that expresses how they feel about your group of friends, place there created items in the bag, and hand them all to you, the host.  Make sure that all of there names are on the tags and hand out the created gifts so that everyone has a hand crafted gift that they can treasure from one of your friends.

I guarantee that this will be a girls night that all of your friends will remember!  

Have Fun! :)
