Host Your DIY Ornament Party!
The Christmas season is absolutely my favorite time of year, and this year was extra special because of my incredible ballet friends! You know how it is, when you share a passion like ballet, those friendships just run deep. We decided to shake up our usual holiday get-together and host a DIY felt ornament craft party instead of just dinner.
It was the most magical night! We used the adorable felt ballet slipper ornament pattern from this list (you know, the one that made me feel all nostalgic!).
Picture this: twinkle lights, holiday music, a mountain of colorful felt scraps, and my favorite group of dancers armed with needles and embroidery floss. We were stitching and laughing all evening, fueled by hot cocoa and Christmas cookies. Seriously, watching everyone’s unique take on the little slippers was the best—some were sparkly, some were traditional pink, and a few were totally wild! It was a blast and such a perfect, cozy way to celebrate.
If you’re looking to host your own fun and creative girls’ night, you absolutely have to try a craft party!
You can find all the messy, glorious details about how I organized our festive evening in my full post about the Ballerina Christmas Craft Night.
Choose one DIY Felt Ornament from this list, grab your friends, and start stitching!
