The love of pampering starts young. My 5-year-old could think of nothing more fun for her 5th birthday party than a Beauty Shop. I started planning out the details and knew some kid-friendly crafts were in order. These DIY Foam Eye Masks were fun, simple, and so cute for a party take-away. Here’s how we did it:
To keep the party action moving and cut down on mess, I pre-cut out all of the masks and assembled them ahead of time. Then the kids could just decorate (which is the fun part anyway).
I started off using a pair of kid’s sunglasses as a sort of gauge for the right size for a child’s eye mask. I traced roughly around it on these Bright Foam Sheets.
I then used this as my pattern to cut out all of the masks.
I used White Roung Stretchy Cording cut to size, then stapled it to either side.
I laid them all out along with a basket of Metallic Markers, Flower Stickers, and Letter Stickers and let them get busy decorating in our Craft Corner! And I think every single party needs a plastic tablecloth for easy cleanup, don’t you?
This party was a major hit all the way around. We had just enough activities to keep everyone busy, but everything was simple enough it was fun and not stressful. The kids left with painted nails and up-dos (be sure to check out the spa stations HERE), fun craft projects, tummies full of cupcakes, and pink spa robes and flip flops. A little girl’s dream come true!
