Bunting, paper chains, or table centrepieces can all be made at home. Using simple materials you already have, kids and adults can help craft a festive party atmosphere.

Give a small, handmade gift like a painted peg doll, mini sewing project, or keyring kit. These thoughtful, hands-on presents are unique keepsakes that the birthday person will cherish.

4. DIY Party Activities 🎨

Turn crafting into the party itself. Set up a craft station where guests can decorate cakes, make cards, or try simple sewing and painting projects, a fun and interactive birthday activity.

5. Memory Keepsakes 📸

Encourage guests to write messages, doodle, or decorate small cards that can be collected in a handmade birthday memory book. It’s a creative way to capture moments that last long after the party ends.
