Another year, another party! My girl is 8 and we celebrated her will a super fun painting themed party. Evie loves arts and crafts so much that this is the second Art party we’ve done for her. Here is how we threw an adorable Art Themed Birthday Party for our girl.

Art Activities
Well, of course we had to have painting of some sort. I purchased a set of mini canvases and easels for all the girls. I was going to set a vase of pretty flowers in the middle of the table and have the girls paint those, but Evie insisted on letting each girl paint whatever they wanted. So each girl got to paint their own masterpiece. I still set the vase of flowers in the center incase anyone was having a hard time coming up with an idea.
After painting their masterpiece we moved onto a fun craft. I played off of Evie’s birthday being close to Christmas, so we made “Starry Starry Night” Star Ornaments. I displayed the Starry Starry Night Painting for them to see and then gave each girl a wooden star ornament. Before the party I cut small pieces of tissue paper in black, blue, yellow (all the colors that can be found in the painting). We then used mod podge to glue the tissue paper onto to the wood star. Attached the string so the girls could take them home and put them on their Christmas tree. I love how creative the girls got with this. Some of them laid the tissue flat on the star and others scrunched it up. It was fun to see how they each did it a little different.
Party Decorations
My girl wanted to go with pastel colors for her party. I found these really cool tissue paper back drops. These were extremely easy to set up, just attach it to the wall with a push pin and then let it accordion its way down to the ground. Took me 5 minutes to hang them all. I used a black and white table cloth to add some boldness with all the pastels. I really like how that looked. Some pretty balloons, colorful tulips and the “Life is a Masterpiece” sign I downloaded and printed from home. Other favorite decorations were the mini paint cans I used to hold veggies, the adorable paint themed cookies in the shape of paint splatters and paint brushes and lastly the giant paint pallet snack board I made.
For the art tables I continued with the bold black and white tablecloth and the colorful tulips. I displayed the canvases and easels along the edge of the table with a small plastic paint pallet from the dollar store, paint brush and a paint sample (just for cuteness). I lined up all the paints down the middle of the table. Not only did it look so cute, it worked great for the girls so they could easily grab the colors they wanted.
Party Favors
As a Thank You to our guests we sent them home with mini packs of colorful bath fizz and a mini watercolor paint set. I stuck a squiggly paint straw through the ribbon and tied an adorable gift tag to it that read ” Thank You, Friends make life Colorful”. You can download and print these from home by clicking HERE.
It was such a fun party for a bunch of little girls. Here are some of my favorite items that helped pull this Art Theme together. Let me know if you throw an Art party TAG ME on Instagram @projectwhim if you try anything from the blog! I love to see and share!
