We are looking ahead to Easter…we know Christmas has only just been and gone but Easter is not too far away and we are very excited to introduce our Virtual Easter Craft Parties and Experiences to keep you busy and creative during lockdown (although hopefully we won't be in lockdown for much longer).

We have enjoyed putting together several exciting Easter Virtual Crafts for you to pick and choose from to enjoy online! Including Easter Ceramic Painting, cute Easter Pompom Decorations, Easter Garlands and Easter Crackers! We can also offer bespoke Easter Crafts, so if you have something in mind just let us know and we can pop something together for you!
​
As we have said before we won’t let lockdown stop our crafty fun, so our Virtual Crafts are a great alternative for work Team Days, a family get together or just because! 

For more details get in touch! x

We just enjoyed the best weekend of crafty virtual fun SO much we wanted to share it all with you all in a blog post!

On Saturday we hosted a Virtual Ceramic Painting Experience for a 60th Birthday Party! 14 friends and family members came together over Zoom for a warm and wonderful crafty event. Whilst it wasn’t the usual party, everyone enjoyed doing something different together. They said it was nice to relax and switch off from the day to day.

As well as the Virtual Craft Party they had ordered everyone a take away tea party in a box. This looked so yummy! They enjoyed homemade scones, and chocolate dipped strawberries!

We followed on with a Virtual Quilt Making session for Emma’s baby shower on the Sunday. It was so lovely to see so many friends come together for such a memorable and special occasion.
Everyone designed and made a square each which will go on to form the finished quilt for mum and baby!
​
It makes us so happy that people can still come together (despite lockdown) to create something so special for loved ones. We know it is not the same as in person, but we can see how much it means to people to still be able to have fun with family and friends. 

If you are interested in having crafts and giggles at your Virtual Event, get in touch! We would love to help!

Happy 2021 everyone! We know the new year hasn’t started off as many of us would have hoped for it to, but we are here continuing to lift people’s spirits with creativity and crafting!

We won’t let lock down number 3 stop us sharing Crafts and Giggles Nationwide, thanks to our Virtual Craft Parties! These craft parties have been hugely successful, bringing the joy of making to people’s front doors all over the Festive Season and into the New Year!
​
We therefore thought it would be fun to kick start the New Year with a brand new Virtual Craft Party Experience, Tote Bag Customisation! This fun and sustainable Virtual Craft Party is perfect for all abilities!

Each person will be provided with everything they will need in one of our beautiful craft kits before the Virtual Party date. One of our talented crafts people will inspire and guide everyone throughout the Virtual Craft Party on your preferred platform! By the end of the virtual event everyone will have a unique and personalised Tote Bag that they will be able to use with pride over and over again!

This crafty fun is perfect for a Team Event, Hen Party, Birthday or just a get together with friends during lock down! For more info get in touch! 

This morning we had so much fun hosting a Spooky Virtual Halloween Craft party from the comfort and safety of everyone's homes! All of the participants were sent one of our craft packs before the event date so they were all ready to enjoy Crafts and Giggles on the day!

The children went to so much effort getting into the Halloween spirit by dressing up and decorating their homes. Accompanied by a grown up the children began getting crafty with Katie! 

Each child got to jazz up a number of spooky Halloween crafts, from spooky masks to wands! All of the children were very creative and came up with some imaginative designs! 

We would like to thank everyone who joined us! With these unprecedented and difficult times we are all facing, it is so great that we can still come together and enjoy Crafts and Giggles!

For our future Virtual Craft Events Keep an eye here and on our Facebook page! 

Last Thursday (during Mental Health Week) we had the most enjoyable evening hosting a Virtual Flower Crown Making Event for a corporate evening with Oaklin to raise money for YoungMinds. 

All 25 colleagues received their Craft Packs before the event date and came together on Microsoft Teams to have fun over Crafts and Giggles!

At the start of the event one of the Partners introduced the event, and discussed the importance of Mental Health within the workplace. We followed on by saying that being creative is a great way of taking care of your Mental Health and wellbeing, and that is why we love what we do!

It was a relaxed and happy evening. Some of the colleagues families took part in the crafty fun, making it such a welcoming event. 

Everyone made a beautiful keepsake Flower Crown that they can wear with pride for years to come. The team seemed to have a great time, here is what they thought:​

"We had great fun with Katie building flower crowns to raise money for #YoungMinds on an online corporate evening! Everyone, at all levels of seniority, had a laugh and joined in. Katie’s energy and enthusiasm came shining through and she was completely professional, working tirelessly to get the craft kits out in time for the event to all our staff in their various locations. Oaklin"

Thank you to Oaklin for having us. If you are looking to do something creative and different with your work colleagues our Virtual Craft Experience could be the answer! Get in touch for more info! 

On Saturday 15 lovely hens enjoyed getting crafty with our DIY Flower Crown Making Kits. Sadly we were not able to attend due to the Government restrictions, but they still wanted to be able to enjoy some crafty fun!

We posted out 15 vibrant Flower Crown Making Kits. Each kit had everything each person would need to make a beautiful keepsake crown, including clear step by step instructions. Yesterday we received this incredible email from the party organiser:

“I just wanted to say a huge thank you! The hen party on Saturday went amazingly and the flower crown part was just lovely and every single person really enjoyed it. It really was the perfect activity for us all, especially after so long of not being able to do very many different things. All the packs and materials you sent were super clear and easy to follow, and although we missed having a member of your team there to expertly guide us, I think it added to the fun and everyone ended up with a very lovely flower crown.
​
Thank you again, I would (and will) highly recommend your business to any future hens or gatherings”
​
Despite the restrictions we are so so happy that the hen party got to enjoy Crafts and Giggles. During this difficult time it is so important to have things to look forward to and enjoy. If you are interested in our DIY Craft Party Kits for your event, get in touch! 

Happy Monday! We hope everyone is enjoying the warm sunny days, and the holidays. We don't like to use the C word during the Summer but Christmas is fast approaching!

So we wanted to let you know that as well as offering our in person Christmas Craft Parties we have introduced Virtual Christmas Craft Parties! With Covid-19 still on the rise (sadly) we do not want anyone to miss out on some crafty festive fun!

We can bring the festive fun to the comfort and safety of your own home! From Stocking Customisation to Festive Flower Crowns. There is so much fun to be had and to look forward to!

Our Virtual Christmas Crafts are great for team building, an online staff Christmas Party, or a family wanting to get together in a virtual way over some Festive joy. 

Our Virtual Craft Parties are so easy. All you need to do is log on and enjoy being creative. We handle the logistics, from booking you in, to sending out your choice of craft to each member of your group ready for the day of your party. 

If this takes your fancy, get in touch for more details, we would love to help you plan your Crafty Christmas Party! 

​We hope everyone is keeping safe and well? We know the past few months have been difficult for so many of people due to Covid-19. With Government restrictions slowly being lifted, we are hoping that everyone will soon be able to start making lots of exciting plans to look forward to in the not so far future.

Here at Crafts and Giggles our IRL Craft Parties have been put on hold, but we are SO looking forward to hosting Craft Parties for you all again very soon. We have missed sharing our love and passion of all things crafty up and down the UK!

If you are still a little concerned about having one of our Craft Parties we have put into place lots of safety measures to keep you and us safe, see here. We do offer some alternative ideas too! These include our Virtual Craft Parties, and our DIY Craft Kits! These are both a great way of still enjoying fun with friends over Crafts and Giggles!

In other news we have been delighted to be receiving so many 2021 Craft Hen Party bookings! We understand that many brides to be have had to postpone their wedding dates to 2021, so we have a feeling that 2021 is going to be full of crafty fun!

We hope everyone is keeping safe and well in what continues to be a difficult time for so many people. Yesterday our mood was lifted meeting 9 lovely people during our very first Virtual Craft Party!

It was so so lovely to still be able to share our love of crafts with such wonderful people despite being in lockdown. All 9 people joined in and learnt how to make their very own bright and colourful silk flower crowns! They all did amazingly well! The feedback from the Virtual Craft Party was beyond our expectations, some even asked if we will be offering more, which was music to our ears!

"Thank you for a great morning. It was a really lovely relaxing start to the weekend. A bit of escapism from the current environment. Thank you again" 

A big thank you to everyone who took part, we loved every second! We will be offering more Virtual Craft Parties very soon so keep an eye out! If you are interested in having one get in touch!
