So you want to throw a slumber party on a budget?  Can’t say as I blame you. Slumber Party Crafts do not have to break the bank.

This year, think simple and think fun.

Round up a brick for each girl and an assortment of paints, glitter and rhinestones and any other embellishments you would like. Let the girls decorate the flat smooth part any way they choose. 

These Designer Bricks will make great door stops for each of your Slumber Party Girl’s Bedrooms.
 

A girl that doesn’t like accessories? Impossible! Make this year’s slumber party craft extra-ordinary with Divaliscious Dough Pins. Pin them on a shirt, backpack, ball cap or even a tennis shoe.

This craft allows the Slumber Party girls to not only get some quality time in the kitchen but let’s them express their inner Van Gough in the decorating aspect.

The supplies are simple. Visit your local Super Store or Craft Supply and pick up cookie cutters, magnets, safety pin backs, hot clue, assortment of acrylic paints (I prefer glitter), paint brushes, acrylic sealer, wax paper and a cookie sheet.

When it’s time for your slumber party craft have all of the girls hang out in the kitchen to mix ½ Cup of Salt; 1 Cup of Flour and ½ Cup Water. Knead the dough and roll out with a rolling pin on wax paper (helps to avoid a mess) as if you were making home made sugar cookies. Now use the cookie cutters and cut out your favorite shape and place on a baking sheet. Now bake at 250 degrees for 2 hours. While the cut outs are baking it’s a great time to play a few Slumber Party Games such as Truth or Dare or 20 Questions.

Once the cut outs are baked and have cooled, it’s time to get creative and decorate with the assortment of paints. If the girls want to write their names, acrylic paint pens as well as a toothpick dipped in paint works very well.

When the paint has dried, coat with an acrylic sealer. I prefer the spray kind. Let mess is always best! Now, simply hot glue the pin backs on the back of the little masterpieces to have ready for the girls to wear the next morning.

If you have a birthday near the Christmas Holiday, this craft makes wonderful Christmas ornament. Before baking simply take a straw and push through the dough to make a hole. After baking, decorating and sealing, tie a pretty ribbon or even raffia through the hole to hang on the Christmas tree.

I promise you, the Slumber Party Girls will rave over this way cool Slumber Party Craft!

It’s Slumber Party time and you not only want to create memories, you want to capture them.

Capture the fun in this Fabulous Felt Photo Album – Slumber Party Craft.

Visit your local Super Center, Bargain Store, or Craft Store for photo albums, felt fabric, cookie cutters and craft glue. The party girls will be covering the photo albums so you can shop bargain basement and disregard the color or pattern.

Before the party pre-cut the felt fabric to fit the photo albums. You will want to leave about an inch around the edges so that covering the album will be simple. When you are ready to start your Slumber party Craft, have each girl place the photo album in the center of the pre-cut felt and cover the album by gluing the overlapping felt on the inside cover of the album. Have the girls trace shapes from the cookie cutters and cut out their favorite shapes. Then glue the fun shapes on the album for a perfectly customized Fabulous Felt Photo Album.

If you are handy with a digital camera, you can take lots of pictures during the Slumber Party Bash and then download and print and fill each Party Girl’s album with special memory photos for a keepsake they are sure to treasure!

Do you know a slumber party girl that loves showing off her rock star moves and jamming out to the latest rock start jam?  I know lots! 

What better way to incorporate this all time fav into your Slumber Party Games than to have a Rock Star Diva Making of the Video.

As the host of the party, tell the girls to do their best Slumber Party make-over Rock Star style.  You can even have fun rock star accessories like toy microphones, boas, hand socks and headphones.  Give the girls a few minutes to pick their fav slumber party music song and choreograph their super sync moves. 

Watch your party girls get creative and map out their rock star music video all thru the house.  While the girls are busy practicing their best grooves, you need to grab your video camera and get ready for the show. 

If you are technically talented, make copies of the video and burn onto CDs for each of the girl to take home as a memento of the Party of the Year.

Does the thought of having a group of squealing, giggling precious slumber party divas cooped up in your house all night long scare the living daylights out of you?  Don’t worry; you can still host a Rockin’ Slumber Party – Road Trip Style.

I have listed a few Road Trip ideas to consider before your next Slumber Party:

• Take the girls to late night disco bowling

• Take the girls on a scavenger hunt hitting the houses of all the little boys in class that your daughters are soooo in love with.

• Take the Girls Roller Skating

• After the girls do their glam makeovers, pile in the car and head to the local ice cream shop.

• If the girls promise to keep the volume at a minimum, drive to the nearest Starbucks for hot chocolate (caffeine loaded mochas are the last thing you will want to give these party divas) and a game of truth or dare.  Watch how embarrassed the girls will get when they are dared to stand on one foot and sing “I’m a little Tea Pot” in front of a crowd of coffee drinkers.  Again…..volume at a minimum is a must so as not to upset other customers.

• Drive to dinner at a Magic Time Machine or similar character restaurant

• Take the girls to a late night Nail Shop for a basic Manicure or Pedicure

• After dark, head to the local park and spread out a blanket and tell ghost stories by candle light. Really want to spook ‘em? Do this in a cemetery.  This is only recommended for older girls. The last thing you want is a group of party girls crying in the middle of the night with nightmares.

• Live near the beach? Take the girls to the beach for a castle making contest by moonlight.

• Don’t have a pool but have a friend that does? Ask if you can use their private pool and take the girls for a swim fest after dark.

• Wish it was warm enough for a swim in the pool but instead of sunshine and warm temperatures you have chilly weather and snow? Fantastic, take the girls to the local park for a moonlight snowball fight or for a little snow-woman making. They will be so ready for their Hot Girls Cocoa after this adventure!

When you were a little young toddler Diva did you have a binki blanket also known as your lifeline to dreamland? You know the blanket I’m talking about. It is frayed at the edges and has holes in it and at one point in your life you were unable to even think about sleeping with out it. Well if you are still dependent on your special blanket, it’s time to get rid of it and make a new one. If you have long since put your blanket on the top shelf of the closet, bring back those good old days with this Slumber Party No Sew Blanket. 

Your slumber party girls will absolutely love this fun craft and treasure their special blanket. You will need to do some pre-work before the girls get started on the project.

First take a trip to your local super store or fabric craft store and take a walk through the fleece fabric selection. You will want to look for two types of fleece; one in a fun and sassy print and the other in a coordinating color solid. Have the store assistant cut you 1 yard of each type of fleece for each girl at your party. 

When you get home lay the two pieces together on a table or even on the floor. You may need to trim the edges to make sure that the two pieces are exactly the same size. Now that this is done, cut out the corners of the blanket by cutting strait down the material and not strait across. Now turn the radio on or your favorite television show and get ready for just a bit of busy work. You will now need to make two inch cuts about 1 inch apart. This does not have to be perfect by any means just try and keep the cuts equal width and equal length. Round up a handful of safely clips and clip at all four corners keeping the two pieces of fleece together. 

The night of the big slumber party when the girls are in the mood to gab or even watch a movie, pull out the blankets and let the girls finish the project. This is best done with the girls sitting on the floor. Lay each pre-cut blanket out in front of each girl.  Have each girl grab a strip from the bottom fleece and a strip from the top fleece and tie into a knot.  Now, have them tie in another knot. Have the girls tie the two knots all the way around the blanket and whallll–la…. a new binky for each girl to snuggle with.

Do you have a June Birthday?  Planning a luau themed or pool Slumber Party?  Make it memorable with this Have a Ball – Slumber Party Activity & Party Favor.

 Hit the local Super Center or Dollar store and pick beach balls for every girl planning to attend.  Grab some waterproof markers in fun colors while you are there.  Before the girls arrive lay the beach ball flat and write each girls name on the plastic. 

 At the end of the night when the girls are in their sleeping bags perhaps watching a Slumber Party movie, give them each a beach ball and waterproof markers to share.  Encourage the Party girls to write all about the good times they had together at the sleepover, their favorite Slumber Party saying or simply their name.  Make sure that the beach balls are passed around and that everyone’s beach ball is signed by one another.

This activity is always a good one to end the night on.  Plus, the girls get a fun summer toy to take home the next morning.

This craft is by no means original, but is most definitely a super kool classic. 

No need to spend the money on a craft box set when you can D.Y.I.

Slumber Party Girls love creativity as much as they love expressing it.  All party girls love this craft.

Visit your local super center or dollar store and pick up pretty glass bottles with corks and funnels to fit down into each jar.  Now, round up as many different colors of Kool-Aid as you can find and pour into different bowls.

When the Slumber Party Craft Hour comes let the girls layer the colorful Kool-Aid into the pretty jars to create their very own sand art.

Too much fun!

The best slumber parties are action packed. Keep things movin’ with a fun Slumber Party Scavenger Hunt thru the neighborhood.

Call your neighbors ahead of time and ask for permission to send the girls to their house for a quick visit on their scavenger hunt route. If you know your neighbors well, they are sure to be most flattered by the opportunity to have the party girls grace them with their presence. Give the Slumber party girls a list of houses that they may visit with a list of scavenger hunt items. Tell the girls that if all of the items on the list are found then each girl will win a prize. Be sure to let the girls know that all items must be marked off and initialed by the neighbor to ensure NO CHEATING…..sometimes slumber party girls can be devious. By having the items initialed, the girls won’t be left to haul around items and the neighbors won’t see their belongings swept away by a tide of slumber party divas.

The Slumber party girls are sure to have a great time on this Super Cool Scavenger Hunt!

One of my slumber party secrets is that I have always wanted to go to Hollywood to see the sights and pretend for just one day that I am a Hollywood Diva. I want the lights, the cameras and of course the action. If you have your own wanna-be superstar with an upcoming birthday, why not throw a Hollywood Star Slumber Party Theme?

Let’s start with the Invitations. You could have the invitation as a cut out Oscar award or an old fashion movie camera. A fun invitation will set the tone for the Hollywood Slumber Party. Be sure to request in the invite that the Party Girls come dressed in their Hollywood party best. Think Gorgeous! Think Fabulous!

With a fun night planned, the RSVP’s are sure to be positive and you need to prepare yourself of a houseful of Hollywood Divas. Think of your Slumber Party as the Premier to the next year of life. How exciting!

What would a Hollywood premier be without a red carpet? It just wouldn’t be right! With this in mind ,you will want to line your walkway or your entrance with red felt for a dramatic red carpet Hollywood effect. If you really want to go all out, have family and friends stand outside with cameras to take pictures as each girl walks up to your home. You could even have a big sister or an adult girl-friend with a microphone stopping the girls as they walk up to the house and asking for interviews. They could for instance, ask the girls: What they are most looking forward to at the slumber party? What they love most about the Birthday Girl? If they were allowed to bring a date, who would they have brought? For the full affect, have someone film the interviews. You can always turn the footage into great mementos to give the party girls on CD.

You will of course want to give your Birthday Girl a special gift. How about a Special Diva Directors Chair?  Go all out and have her name painted in a fun color or glitter. If you are smart, you will get a color scheme to match her bedroom so she can enjoy the gift not only at the Hollywood Slumber party but also for years to come.

You just can’t have a slumber party without an uber cool craft. Stick with the theme of Hollywood and decorate cardboard clapboards.  (You know, black and white stripes…someone shouting, “Scene 1; Take 3).

Another fun Hollywood craft that is always a hit is a Hollywood Walk of Fame Star Tile. Simply cut out a square cardboard tile and a star.  Make sure the star is big enough for each girl to write in her name and decorate. Glue the star cut out to the square tile and let the girls finish it off decorating with glitter paint and stick-on rhinestones. When the girls are done punch holes into the corners of each square tile and loop ribbon up through the back side of one punched hole and push through the other punched hole. Tie together in a cute bow for a great wall hanging.  The girls are sure to love their new bedroom décor!

Every Slumber Party Girl will be looking forward to her Slumber Party Favor Hollywood Awards bag to include all things Hollywood girls love. Think fun sunglasses, scarves, make-up, nail polish, mani /pedi kits. Usually three items per bag are more than enough to make the party girls squeal.

All of the fun and squealing is sure to work up appetites. Think simple and fun with a Hollywood menu of Award Winner Mocktails and Pizza Masterpieces.

For the Mocktails simply pull out your champagne glasses and edge each rim with pink colored sugar. Pour in equal amounts of cranberry juice and ginger ale for a bubbly, colorful concoction.

As for the Pizza masterpieces, encourage the girls to channel their inner Wolfgang and create their own pizza. Simply put out individual pizza dough on paper plates along with an assortment of pizza toppings and let the girls go to work. Bake and eat, but don’t forget to take pictures of all the fun!

For desert, you just have to go with cupcakes. Birthday cake is so last year! Ice them yourself with fun Hollywood star decorations or simply bake and let the girls ice and decorate their own.

The girls will of course entertain themselves but if you really want to set the night apart and have the Slumber Party of the year, you will consider a few of our Slumber Party Game Ideas.

This one is one of my favorites and my party girls always ask to play it a second time.

Make two piles of the same type of clothing such as skirts, socks, jackets, earmuffs, hats, etc.  Divide the Slumber Party girls into two teams. Have the teams’ line up single file on the opposite side of the room than the pile of clothes. The first girl in line is to run to the pile of clothes and put on all of the extra clothes and then take them off again and run back to the team line for the second person in line to do the same making a relay. The team that dresses and undresses the fastest wins the game.

The girls really giggle and laugh when an extra large bra or teeny tiny bikini is included in the pile.

Be sure to have the latest Rock Star Teen Scene Music DVD playing to keep the tempo hoppin’.

After the Slumber Party Girls are finished playing the Dress up relay, have the girls rummage through the clothes and come up with different characters and create their very own Hollywood movie skit. You as the hostess can have the video camera and can film the award winning movie.

After the excitement, snacks, games and so much laughter, the girls are sure to be worn out.

It is now time to give your self a big High Five for throwing the most Awesome Hollywood Star Slumber party Ever!

You Go Girl!
