Children's parties making bracelets

[rheanna]

Hi all, I do Diva parties for all ages but the most awkward age i find is the 8 year olds (i dont do younger than that) keeping them all occupied really, I'm doing a party for my friends 8 year old & she's invited 11 little girls!!! I've told her she'll need to help as if I'm doing all their nails that is going to take a long time - she's going to do the shimmer & sparkle!

So I've read on here previously thoughts on getting them to do friendship bracelets & am looking for a good supplier really & what to get in it's a case of too much choice online so i wondered if anyone had any good suggestions?? have spent way too long thinking about bracelets already

thankyou

Hi

I buy bags of beads and rolls of coloured elastic. Get some small self seal bags and put in each a length of elastic (approx 10" is enough) and about 30-40 mixed coloured beads. They can then make their own bracelets using individual kits. This stops you wasting 1000's of beads as if you put them in tubs for them, they will waste them all. individual kits stops any falling out and they will (usually!) sit quietly making their own up!

Yellow Moon (online) is a good place to buy supplies from.

I do something similar, although don't put the beads into separate bags - that's just faaarr too organised for me, lol

It's surprising how quiet it does keep them all though!
