I am having my 11th Birthday party, but during the party me and my guests are going to make a craft, but I can't find anything to make. I made a wash cloth bunny last year, but I don't know about this year! Can you help me out?

Hey,
At a recent birthday party I hosted, the adults and young kids around ages 8 and up had no problem making an origami butterfly (the theme was a butterfly birthday). It was my daughter's 2nd birthday and so the little ones had something to play with, made by their mommies or dads or aunts and uncles. It was easy to do. We just bought a cheap basic origami book for about $5 at Waldenbooks and a package of origami paper (stiffer scrapbooking paper, sold nearly everywhere, is also good if cut to the right size and is pretty too). I had my husband teach everybody and then we went around and helped people who needed it. If you or one of your parents or friends can master it and show the group how with clear instructions, this could be fun....? There are limitless numbers of origami shapes and animals to choose from.

hi kelsey-
i just threw my little sisters 11th birthday party in feb. for a craft we made funky photo figures. they were so cute! you need a picture of each guest, pipe cleaners, felt, and other things to decorate you little people. i got the idea from the zoom website. heres the link: http://pbskids.org/zoom/activities/do/funkyphotofigures.html
you cant use regulay elmers glue....try tacky glue or a stapler. before the party i cut out all the clothes so the girls wouldnt have to sit there so long. i made 14 little outfits out of felt(little shits, skirts, and flares) they were really cute. we decorated them with foam stickers that we bought at wal-mart. the zoom website has lots of other craft ideas along with games and fun snack ideas.
i also found some sand art picture frame caft kits at the dollar store 2 for a buck. they also had decorate your own purse kits and flower fairy kits so check out the dollar store! thats where we bought most of our prizes for the games too. but the biggest hit was the pop ring toss. we bought tons of cheap pop at wal-mart(.44 cents each) and had a ring toss! each girl got two huge bottles of pop. then when we had cake and ice cream they made different falvored floats. we also bought glow sticks and silly string(spray string) from the dollar store for each girl. it was lots of fun. if you need more ideas id love to help. heres a link to the picstures from my siters party if you want to check them out!: http://photobucket.com/albums/v493/cinta_mo_21/pics/?multi=1&addtype=
happy birthday and hope this helps!!!

Make fun windchimes from broken china plates and spoons, or from other favorite collectible type items.

OR...consider your favorite book/topic and make your party a theme...my daughter loves mysteries, and kids could make up their own mystery story. Have on hand multiples of the clues you would use, and add them to a bag, for you to all make the mystery from.

Make stationary together...pretty pictures from cards, stamps, markers, stickers, etc.

Make flower presses if you and your friends enjoy flowers

Or even friendship bracelets

Hi Kelsey, Happy Birthday! I know your party will be terrific. How about buying plain pillow cases and having everyone decorate their own with markers? You will find out how really creative your friends are and all have a lasting memory from your special day.
