great crafty activity for a shower?
Apr. 2nd, 2006 10:48 amhi all, i don't know if I'm posting this to the right place. It's not really a what-do-I-make-my-so and so question, it's more of a craft activity question. I checked the memories, no luck!
A good friend of mine always throws the best parties and thinks of the best activities for other people's showers. She's pregnant, due in June, and we're throwing her baby shower at the end of April. She is SO not about the traditional baby shower games and I know she'd much rather do some kind of fun craft thing. The only idea I've been able to come up with is getting a good size canvas, dividing it up like a quilt and having each guest paint one or two sections (using only colors that would go with the baby's room, so it would match). The only other thing I could think of was beading our own jewelry and we just did that at a friend's bridal shower we went to a few weeks ago! (For her bridal shower we created a scrapbook for her where all of us did one page and wrote nice things to her; she loved it.)
Any ideas would be so appreciated!! It could be a collaborative project where we make something together for the baby, or something where we make things for ourselves to take home. We're trying not to spend a crazy amount of money, but do have some to spend .. we want it to be fun, and something we could do in under an hour would be great!!
THANKS for your ideas!
