Craft Party I

It's really easy to have a Craft Party, a good excuse to get together and have fun; at minimal expense. One way to have a craft party is to have your friends each bring their favorite craft (ie: knitting, crocheting, tatting, beading, stamps, etc.). Have them bring enough for themselves and one other person.

Split the guests into pairs. This can be done by picking half the group to be teachers - pick numbers or names out of a hat or bowl - and then pair them up with a partner. Or let the pupils choose - however that might cause a problem if everyone wants to learn the same craft.

The first half of your craft party time, have the group of teachers teach their students. For instance, the knitting, crocheting and tatting could be taught. Then change, the beading, stamps, etc. can be taught. The teachers become the students and the students teach.

After both sets have taught and learned a new craft, serve refreshments and give everyone a chance to share about what they learned and what they thought about the craft.

Have fun!!
