Glamorous Party Crafts
Making crafts is a fun way to liven up a kid's party. Crafts are welcome additions to glamour girl parties, which allow girls to dress up and pose for mock photo shoots. Glamorous crafts that fit the party's theme will keep kids entertained and serve as party favors to take home.

Making Jewelry
-
Making jewelry is a key part of a glamour girl party. Set up a designated station with beads, strings, scissors, craft glue, yarn and ribbons so girls can fashion their own bracelets and necklaces to match their glamorous outfits. Purchase 2-inch-gauge paper-wrapped floral wire at a craft store to make sturdy yarn bracelets. Cut the wire to the correct length for each child's wrist. Allow the children to wrap two pieces of yarn around the wire and then glue them in place; they can then slide beads onto the wire. After the glue dries, bend the wires into bracelets.
Picture Frames
-
Photo shoots are often the highlights of glamour parties. A fun craft idea is to make picture frames to hold before-and-after pictures, especially if the party includes makeovers. Take Polaroid pictures or use a digital camera and then print the photos during the party. Cut craft foam in the shape of a picture frame for each of the guests. The girls can decorate the "after" pictures with gems and glitter for a glamorous touch; they can also use foam flowers, buttons, sequins and stickers.

Hair Accessories
-
Accessories for hair are glamorous and functional. Children at glamour girl parties often want stylish hairstyles to match their elegant attire. Adults can help the girls fashion glamorous updos, but rather than using plain hair clips or headbands to hold the hairdo in place, allow the girls to decorate their own accessories. Gluing gems, sequins or beads to hair clips and headbands transform boring items into glamorous crafts that are fit for princesses and socialites. Use glue that is safe for children.
Face-Painting
-
Purchase some face paint and brushes at a craft store. Glitter and gems that people can glue to their faces are also popular craft items that add glamour and sparkle. Either set up a face-painting station with an adult or allow the girls to paint their own designs on each other with adult supervision. Patterns for face-painting designs are available online or in books that you can find at craft stores or bookstores. Print designs or bookmark pages to inspire guests.
