How to Make your Initials Art Party Favors
These Initial Art Party Favors would also be a great party activity for younger and older kids.
If you choose this unique party favor to be used at the party then you will need to cover the tables with newspaper or old paper sacks. Be sure to keep paper towels handy along with extra brushes so the kids can share paint and then wash the paint in the cups of water already placed on the table. An art project can go from messy crafts to the kid’s own masterpieces. So be patient with the kids and keep lots of paper towels handy. Watching kids create art is the best part of an art theme party and a great way to introduce kids to not only creative ideas but also the world of art.
Great favor ideas are made while looking around so remember that any art of these party bags can be changed. If you can’t find paper mache letters look for some wooden ones instead, or mix and match.
Open each gift sacks or set out the paint pails and put one brush, art palette, initial letter or letters, and the paint you chose into the bag. Pick one or two different paints depending on your budget. You can also use empty paint cans that you can pickup at Home Depot or Lowes.
Pretty ribbon or baker’s twine can add a little extra special touch and will hold Paint Brush Gift Tags Printable.
How to find Art Party Favor Supplies for Cheap
Initial Art Party Favor art projects are not only easy but cheap to make. The best way to save money on this goody bag is to plan ahead and buy what is on sale. Here are a few ideas I used to make these great party favor ideas a little more inexpensive.
If you are close to a Hobby Lobby wait and grab these letters when they’re on sale kids party favors should be fun to make. For these creative party favors, you can either put one letter in each sack for the first name or all of their initials. This will depend on your budget I would only buy one per child unless you find letters on sale super cheap. The paint palettes and brushes are the cheapest on Amazon in bulk, if you only need a few try checking your local craft store, Walmart’s craft isle, dollar stores, or the Dollar Tree.
Choose cute party favor bags or brown paper gift bags, or a plain black bag. Want another craft? Grab a small canvas reusable bag, or muslin bag for each child so the kids to decorate later. Be sure to put a name on each bag in permanent marker. You don’t want the kids to lose their goodie bags. Pretty much anything can be turned into art so keep that in mind while creating your own painting party. If you find some things on sale add them as extra favors to each treat bag.
Pick the unused paint that you have or that’s at your local craft store. I choose an acrylic paint set and divided it out between the party favor bags. One or 2 per child. You will need good paint. The thick watercolor set that you find in the art section of a craft store not the kid version of watercolors and definitely not finger paint. The paint needs to be able to cover the brown paper mache letter.
For these creative party favors, you can either put one letter in each sack for the first name or all of their initials. This will depend on your budget I would only buy one per child unless you find letters on sale super cheap. Goodie bags don’t have to be pretty they just have to be fun!
What can Kids do at an Art Themed Birthday Party?
Art parties are a lot of fun but sometimes you need a little help with ideas to get started. Art being a theme of the party is so much fun to choose especially when you get to pick lots of party activities for the kids to do.
A better way to plan an art party is to use what you have first. Even bubbles with a little food coloring can be a fun way for kids to not only make something pretty to float in the air but also by creating their own art. Using a straw dip the end into a dyed bubble solution and then blow through the straw onto a paper. Once the paper is decorated let it dry and the kids can take home their new art.
Do you have extra salt? Grab some Elmer’s glue make some fun designs and then shake the salt on top.
Get your creative juices flowing think about how things can be turned into so fun art. Sidewalk chalk is a great idea to have out front so the party guests can write their names as they come into the house. Keep extra art supplies on the tables with even circle shapes of cardboard that kids can decorate. There are so many different ways to keep kids busy with fun almost free art so you and your child put your party hats on and come up with some ingenious ideas! Even art party food can be fun, by letting the kids paint and decorate their own cookies or cupcakes.
Birthday party favors don’t have to be difficult or expensive. Just think of fun ideas for your birthday boy or girl and friends will enjoy. This art themed party favor would also be great as a wedding favor, baby shower.
