Santa's Workshop - Holiday Crafting Party

[LimeRiot]

I hosted a holiday crafting party with my be best gal pals in December and we had a whale of a time. The day was filled with christmas music, champagne bubbles, gossip, mess making, comfort food and best of all, crafting!!

Here's a shot of the hard working elves! Aprons were mandatory .



I host this party every year but usually we only attempt one or two projects. We were a bit more diligent this year and worked on a long list of gifts! These were mostly simple projects that made nice stocking stuffers or small presents for coworkers.

- Chalkboard Coasters
- Hot Chocolate on a Stick
- Tree Ornaments
- Cork Covered Containers
- Freezer Paper Stenciled Tea Towels
- Paper Clay Stamped Ornaments

For each project, I put all of the required supplies into baskets so we could grab them and get right to work. I also created some sample projects for inspiration.





Here are some of our finished products.

Hot cocoa on a stick:


Paper clay ornaments:


Burlap tree ornaments in-progress (that's me working hard on the right):

We had a blast and definitely plan to continue the tradition! I'm already thinking about projects to tackle next year .

What fun! I'm coming next year, too. 

I just featured this on Craftster's Facebook page. Thanks for sharing.

What a great idea to have an adults craft party!

It was fun - even for the people that aren't really into crafting. They could just drink wine and eat and supervise the rest of us .

I want to come too!  I'm sure that would put me in a more xmas mood than anything else I can think of

I so wish sometimes I had craftster friends in my area close by. This looked like a hoot. I can imagine if you hosted a Halloween party and really one for every holiday. LOL

A Halloween crafting party would be so fun!! I love that idea and that's a popular holiday with my group of friends so I'm sure they would enjoy it too!

looks like you all had a great time and were able to be very productive elves.  I really need to find the time to organize something similar next year.
