1. Personalized wine glass painting

I like using wine glass painting for bachelorette parties because it is simple and creative. Each guest can design their own glass, making it a fun activity and a lasting keepsake. It also adds a personal touch to the celebration.

How to Make Personalized Painted Wine Glasses

Materials Needed:

1. Plain wine glasses (clear glass works best)
2. Acrylic enamel or glass paint

The steps

• Step 1: Clean and Prep Your Glasses
  Start by cleaning each glass with warm, soapy water, then wipe it down with rubbing alcohol. This removes any oils or fingerprints so the paint sticks properly.
• Step 2: Plan Your Design
  Decide what you want to paint — names, quotes, or fun patterns. You can lightly sketch your design on paper and tape it inside the glass as a guide, or go freehand for a more organic look.
• Step 3: Paint Your Design
  Use your paintbrush or paint pen to carefully apply your design. Bright colors, polka dots, flowers, and calligraphy-style names are all popular choices. Don’t overload the brush — a little paint goes a long way.
• Step 4: Let It Dry
  Allow your painted glasses to dry for at least 24 hours (or follow your paint’s label instructions). This step helps prevent smudging and ensures durability.
• Step 5: Bake to Set (Optional but Recommended)
  If your paint is oven-safe, place the glasses in a cool oven, then heat to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 30 minutes and let them cool inside the oven. This step makes the design dishwasher-safe and long-lasting.
• Step 6: Add Finishing Touches
  Once cooled, check for any touch-ups and add details like metallic accents or dots for a festive look. You can even tie a small ribbon around the stem for gift-giving.
• Step 7: Enjoy or Gift
  Your personalized wine glasses are now ready! Perfect for girls’ nights, weddings, bridal showers, or as thoughtful handmade gifts.

• Step 3: Arrange Your Photos
  Lay out your photos before gluing anything down. Try grouping them by moments or emotions. Mix horizontal and vertical shots for variety and balance each page visually.

  Use patterned paper, washi tape, or colored cardstock to frame your photos. Layering papers of different textures or tones adds depth and makes each memory stand out beautifully.
• Step 5: Write Captions and Notes
  Add handwritten notes or small captions to capture feelings, quotes, or inside jokes. This personal touch makes your scrapbook one-of-a-kind.
• Step 6: Decorate Creatively
  Enhance your pages with stickers, drawings, or pressed flowers. Don’t overfill — leave some space so the pages feel clean and balanced.

  Include a title page, a date, or a quote that sums up the spirit of your scrapbook. You can also add pockets or envelopes to hold letters or keepsakes like dried petals or postcards.

  Carefully cut along the outlines using scissors or a craft knife for detailed shapes. You can mix and match sizes for variety — oversized glasses and tiny mustaches always make people laugh!

4. DIY floral crown crafting

I love how simple and fun making floral crowns can be for a bachelorette party. Using fresh or silk flowers, you can create beautiful crowns that suit everyone’s style. It’s a hands-on way to add a personal and pretty touch to the celebration.

Shop the materials

The steps

• Step 1: Measure and Shape the Base
  Start by measuring the wire around your head where you’d like the crown to sit. Leave a little extra for overlap, then twist the ends together to form a circular base. This will be your crown’s foundation.
• Step 2: Wrap with Floral Tape
  Cover the wire base completely with floral tape. This not only gives it a natural look but also provides a better grip for attaching flowers and leaves.
• Step 3: Prepare the Flowers
  Trim your flowers and greenery, leaving 2–3 inches of stem. Choose a mix of big and small blooms for a balanced look — roses, daisies, and ranunculus work beautifully together.
• Step 4: Start Attaching the Greenery
  Begin by attaching small pieces of greenery to the wire base with floral tape, overlapping slightly as you go. This forms a lush, even background for your flowers.
• Step 5: Add the Flowers
  Attach your flowers one at a time, starting with larger blooms and filling in with smaller ones. Secure each stem to the base with floral tape, making sure to angle them in the same direction for a natural flow.
• Step 6: Fill in the Gaps
  Once your main flowers are attached, use small buds, baby’s breath, or extra leaves to fill any gaps. Step back to check the symmetry and adjust as needed.
• Step 7: Add Ribbon (Optional)
  Tie ribbons to the back ends of the crown for an adjustable fit or to add a soft, romantic touch.

• Step 2: Measure the Bracelet Length
  Wrap the elastic or wire around your wrist to measure the desired length, leaving an extra inch for tying or securing. Most bracelets fit well at around 7 inches.
• Step 3: Plan Your Bead Pattern
  Lay out your beads on a flat surface before threading. Mix textures like pearls, crystals, and metallic spacers for a polished, layered look. Adding a special charm or initial bead gives it a personalized touch.
• Step 4: String the Beads
  Carefully thread the beads onto your cord or wire. If using elastic, stretch it slightly as you add beads to ensure it won’t be too tight later.
• Step 5: Secure the Ends
  For elastic bracelets, tie a double or triple knot and add a drop of jewelry glue for extra hold. For wire bracelets, secure both ends with crimp beads and attach clasps using jewelry pliers.
• Step 6: Add a Finishing Touch
  Tie on a small ribbon or attach a bridesmaid tag for presentation. You can also package each bracelet in a mini jewelry box or organza bag for a thoughtful gift reveal.

  Add details like hearts, engagement rings, stars, or mini champagne glasses. You can use die-cuts, stickers, or small paper shapes to tie the design together.
• Step 5: Punch Holes and Thread the String
  Punch two holes at the top of each banner piece, then thread through ribbon or twine. Make sure to space the letters evenly so the banner hangs neatly.
• Step 6: Add Finishing Touches
  Tie small bows or tassels between the banner sections for flair. You can even attach fairy lights to make the banner glow for evening parties.
• Step 7: Hang and Celebrate

   Before printing, flip the designs horizontally (mirror them) so that they appear correctly when applied. This is especially important for text designs.
3. Step 3: Print the Tattoos
   Load the tattoo paper into your inkjet printer according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Print the mirrored designs onto the glossy side. Let the ink dry completely before moving on.
4. Step 4: Apply the Adhesive Sheet
   Peel the clear adhesive sheet and carefully place it sticky-side down over the printed tattoo paper. Smooth it out with a ruler or card to avoid bubbles.

• Fold the fabric in half, then into quarters, creating a cone shape. Trim the rounded edge to form petal shapes. Unfold it, and you’ll see a flower base with multiple petals. You can layer 2–3 cutouts for a fuller bloom.
• Step 3: Create the Flower Center
  Glue a small button, bead, or rolled piece of fabric to the middle of each flower. This adds texture and dimension — and gives it a finished, professional look.

  If you’re using glitter, brush a thin layer of glue over the surface of the compact lid, sprinkle glitter evenly, and tap off excess. Let it dry for about 10–15 minutes before adding more details.
• Step 4: Decorate with Embellishments
  Use tweezers or your fingers to place rhinestones, beads, or flowers. Arrange them in circles, heart shapes, or floral clusters for a luxe look. Press each piece gently into place to ensure it sticks firmly.
• Step 5: Seal Your Design
  Once your decorations are secure and the glue has dried, apply a thin coat of clear sealer to protect the design from wear and tear. Let dry fully before handling.
• Step 6: Gift and Display
  These mirrors make perfect party favors! Wrap each in organza bags or small gift boxes. Add a custom tag with the guest’s name or the event date for a personalized finishing touch.
