Ready to get your DIY on?
Whether you’re gathering with your besties for a chill girls’ night or hosting a craft-and-wine soirée, these 14 creative craft night ideas will have everyone laughing, bonding, and leaving with something fabulous.
1. Paint & Sip (With a Twist!)
Forget traditional canvas painting—try painting wine glasses, tote bags, or flower pots instead! Set up a station with acrylic paints, brushes, and stencils. Bonus: Your guests leave with a unique, hand-painted keepsake.
2. DIY Scented Candles
Nothing sets the mood like a homemade candle! Provide soy wax, essential oils, wicks, and cute jars. Let your guests mix and match scents to create their signature candle.
3. Boho Macramé Wall Hangings
Macramé is easier than it looks! Have pre-cut cords ready, follow a beginner-friendly pattern, and soon everyone will have a gorgeous boho-chic piece to take home.
4. Polymer Clay Jewelry
Give your friends a crash course in clay crafting! Offer different colors of polymer clay, rolling tools, and cutters to make earrings, rings, and pendants.
5. DIY Floral Arrangements
Bring out everyone’s inner florist! Provide a mix of fresh or dried flowers, vases, and floral foam so your guests can design their dream bouquet.
6. Custom Embroidery Hoops
Hand embroidery is having a moment! Set up hoops with pre-printed designs (or let guests freehand) and provide colorful threads for a relaxing and artistic experience.
7. Personalized Wine Tumblers
Use vinyl decals, paint pens, or etching cream to customize stainless steel or glass wine tumblers. These make perfect take-home gifts!
8. Decorative Terrariums
Mini indoor gardens are a hit! Provide glass containers, small succulents, pebbles, moss, and decorative accents so guests can create their own tiny oasis.
9. Resin Coasters or Keychains
Resin crafts are stunning! Have silicone molds, resin, glitter, dried flowers, and gold flakes on hand for a fun and trendy DIY.
10. Watercolor Art Cards
Set up a watercolor station with brushes, watercolor paints, and blank cards. Let everyone create dreamy, artistic greeting cards.
11. Hand-Stamped Tea Towels
Use fabric paint and fun stamps to transform plain white tea towels into something chic and custom-made. Perfect for gifts!
12. DIY Beaded Bracelets
A throwback to childhood friendship bracelets—only more sophisticated! Provide an assortment of beads, charms, and elastic string for unique jewelry creations.
13. Holiday or Seasonal Wreaths
Give guests a head start on decorating with a DIY wreath project! Offer grapevine or wire wreath bases, faux flowers, ribbons, and embellishments for a festive touch.
14. Scrapbooking or Vision Boards
A little nostalgia, a little manifesting—let guests create a scrapbook page or vision board with printed photos, stickers, and washi tape.
