Beading & Jewelry Making Party Planning, Ideas & Supplies
This morning as I was watching the morning news shows, sipping coffee and enjoying our incredible San Diego summer, I felt almost saddened that many Americans will be forced to spend these last few weeks of summer vacation indoors due to inclement weather. So of course this got me thinking. I called the Party Idea {Pros} gang together and posed today's challenge – Let's create a fun indoor end of summer gal party that can be tailored to kids, teens, college coeds, or even moms needing a break. After a bit of brainstorming we unanimously decided upon
Keep the actual crafting fairly simple so there is plenty of time for sipping, socializing, and nibbling.
Bead Party Inspiration
Before we even began thinking about the party details, we immediately turned to Shopbop (our go to shop for all things trendy) for inspiration. We quickly pulled together this jewelry inspiration board so that when we went looking for beading supplies, invitations, and centerpieces we had a clear direction.
Once we looked at the latest in jewelry designs, we turned to Amazon to see if we could replicate or approximate some of the design features currently being sold by top designers often for hundreds of dollars.
Just this morning we were updating Party Idea {Pros} Where the Wild Things Are – A Tribute to Maurice Sendak when we happened upon this adorable birthday monster stationery from Tiny Prints. What first caught are attention is that this design group has the cutest back to school essentials including lunch box notes and gift tag stickers that can easily be used to label all your child's school supplies including crayon boxes, lunch boxes, notebooks and binders.
PIP’s Picks are BACK!. Each day we will feature a deal that tickles our fancy. It may be something small like a darling host{ess} gift or something as fabulous as the latest and greatest Gucci find. Check back often!
