Girls Craft Club

Creative Girls Club

This sounds so cute! And not too bad of a price. Has anyone joined it or know anything about it? They mail projects to your door for your daughter and it has everything they need to make a craft. One comes every six weeks.

Maybe you could start something similar in your homeschooling/neighborhood group? Each Momma picks a craft and then puts the materials in a ziploc baggie. She creates enough for each girl in the group to have one (you know that it is cheaper to buy the materials to make several of one thing than to buy a whole bunch of different objects for a whole bunch of different crafts). Then you could meet once a month at someone's house to do the projects in the baggies! Make sure to meet at different houses so not one Momma is swamped with clean up after. :-D

Oriental Trading Company has some GREAT deals on group crafts. And they have some GREAT Christian crafts (especially around Christmas and Easter). AND if you each place your order at the same time (one mom pays for one craft, another mom for another, etc.). Then you save on shipping too!

This would also be a great time to get some projects for the TOD-KAH (Training Our Daughters to be Keepers At Home) in. Meet together and have everyone work on their crochet or knitting project. If they are sewing/quilting by hand, thy can have a session to work on that. Maybe if someone you know knows how to do something neat and special (like spinning wool into yarn, making cards, stamping, etc.) then one of the sessions can be for that too! :^)

I would love to hear other ideas anyone has for crafts for girls groups. What is a craft that can be put in a ziploc baggie?
-bracelet making (beads or even pony beads, string or wire)
-small baby doll quilt (fabric, thread, needle)
-button bracelets (this is especially good if you find a ton of old ones at a garage/estate sale - buttons, needle, thread)
-candle (beeswax, wick, glass holder)
-spool dolls
-macramé bracelts

When my 22yo was about 12 she was involved in a "Girls Day". One hs mom set it up at her house where the girls came and spent the day doing crafts and other "girlie" things. They had a lot of fun are really enjoyed it. I don't remember if there was a charge for it maybe a small one, the mom who hosted it had all of the supplies and even provided lunch for them. My daughter always loved those special days.
