A couple of weeks ago Crafts and Giggles were invited to host some crafty corporate fun at Newlook's head office team away day in sunny Weymouth! The finance team booked out a venue (away from the office) for an afternoon so their colleagues could have time to bond, and relax through fun activities! Some people chose to join in some Ceramic Painting with us, whilst the others took part in some sporty fun!

It was a great afternoon and so many people chose to join in with the crafts (much to our delight|!) The Ceramic Painting was so enjoyable that a handful of people decided to stay for the duration of the crafts, painting several ceramic items. 

Our craft sessions are a great idea for any team away day! It will give colleagues time to relax and be creative together. 

​

We love nothing more than a crafty theme and a good old challenge! When one of our recent clients requested a last minute safari themed craft party we were chomping at the bit to get started!

The hen party were staying in yurts in the beautiful Gloucestershire countryside; a safari themed craft party was rather apt! The hens wanted to make feather crowns in the colours of safari animals, such as zebras, lions, and elephants etc! We provided lots and lots of beautiful feathers in suitable colours. To add a few more giggles we also included glitter, sparkles, and colourful trimmings! 

The finished feather crowns looked amazing! The hen party wore their creations the rest of the day with great pride! For more details about a feather crown making party, or our other craft hen parties contact katie@craftsandgiggles.com.

​As December is fast approaching we, like many of you have Christmas on our minds! How can this be we hear you say! Well we can’t quite believe it either, this year has flown by! As much as we love a busy spring/summer season of hen parties, we always look forward to Christmas just as much! It is a time where we do not have to make excuses to get the glitter out!

Every year we get Christmas Craft Party enquires from people who want to play with glitter and all things that sparkle! They are often looking to do something a little bit different for their Christmas party, be it for a works do, or just a fun gathering! Our Christmas Craft Parties can offer that “something different”. What we love most about hosting a Christmas Craft Party is bringing everyone together, no matter the job title. People get stuck in and enjoy making together over bubbles and nibbles. The best bit for the participants is having a keepsake at the end, which they can go on to use, and be proud of!
​
We offer a variety of Christmas crafts, from Stocking Customisation to Christmas Cracker Making. If these don’t take your fancy we can come up with something bespoke just for you! We have many talented workshop providers who can host our Christmas parties Nationwide, right on your doorstep! If you are interested in having a party with us don’t hesitate to get in touch! 

A baby shower is such a special and beautiful occasion for a mum to be & her loved ones! In the USA baby showers are a common tradition, however in the UK they are not historically customary, although have become more popular over the past years! We have noticed this change as we host more crafty fun at Baby Showers Nationwide! 

The most recent Baby Shower Craft Party was held in beautiful Dorset where mum to be enjoyed customising baby bibs! Everyone came up with many creative ideas, using pretty fabrics, ribbons, lace and more. The bibs really did have wow factor, & best of all no one else will have the same bibs! By the end mum to be had 15 keepsake bibs, that we are sure will be put to very good use when baby arrives!

We have been a little quiet on here of late due to a bumper summer of Nationwide Craft Hen Parties! We have been having so much crafty fun which is what it is all about!

Our most popular craft hen parties of the summer so far have been Bunting Making and Fascinator Making, and we can see why! Summer is the perfect time to make bunting to dress a beautiful wedding marquee or rustic barn. It is rewarding for the hen party to see the wedding guests enjoying their crafty makes on a late summers evening! Fascinator Making is also a  great option, as the hens can wear their makes on the actual wedding day! It saves money as well getting the perfect fascinator to match your wedding outfit!

As we head into August (can you believe it!!) so many hen party planners are getting in touch about our 2017 craft hen parties! This is very exciting for us as we love organised hens! Bookings are coming in from all over the UK! We even have people making crafty bookings from Australia! It is never too soon to book your 2017 craft hen party! For more information about our crafty fun contact katie@craftsandgiggles.com

We love being invited to corporate team away days! Our crafty fun is the perfect way to relax and be creative with your team! When The Big Lottery Fund asked us to come along to their team away day in the heart of Wales we just couldn't refuse! 

The team needed little inspiration with the welsh rolling hills as their backdrop. Some of the team members headed off to enjoy out door pursuits, whilst the others spent time enjoying crafts and giggles!

The ladies started the morning off with a Ceramic Painting session, followed by Paper Bunting Making in the afternoon. They all designed beautiful ceramic items, and the paper bunting was stunning! Claire guided everyone along the way with her artistic skills and knowledge. 

By the end of the day the ladies felt inspired and closer to their team members. Our crafts and great for all sorts of corporate events! If you are interested in having crafts and your team away day contact us today!
