Whether you or someone you love is an artist or art enthusiast, throwing an art-themed birthday party is a great way to celebrate that! That being said, it's actually not easy to come by art specific decorations, snacks, or drinks for parties, that's where we come in! We've searched the depths of Pinterest for the best art party ideas, so you don't have to.
Speaking of which, you'll be able to see all of these ideas and more on our Pinterest board Artsy Birthday Party and the snack ideas on Party Snacks. Now let's get into it! SWEETS
Delicious and pretty, these sweets are surprisingly simple to put together all on your own!
You'll need a round cake, icing, food dye, and sprinkles for this adorable Paint Palette Cake! Just trim the cake into a bean shape where one side is a little larger than the other, frost it with white, mix "paint" colors of your choosing with icing, dollop them on with a spatula, and press sprinkles into the side. If you want to include some brushes on your cake, instead of making them, you can get real brushes and put the icing on them like paint; then, when you and your guests are all done with your cake, you'll be able to clean them off and reuse them! For these cute Candy Brushes, grab some large brushes, zip-lock baggies that match the width, double-sided tape, and candy in assorted colors! Sort your candy into like colors, fill your bags with candy until the amount in the bag covers the paintbrush hair, then tape the bag onto the metal section of the brush. Finally, you can see the whole process behind this stunning Textured Cake here on Pinterest! Your main supplies will be a cake base you choose (it doesn't have to be round like in the video here), buttercream icing, food dye, icing bags, and various icing tips. The best part of making cakes like this is that mistakes can easily be wiped off and redone without looking out of place! BITES
Pair complex flavors, like Melon and Prosciutto or Brie and Strawberries, to bring creativity into every aspect of your party, including your food!
My favorite way to arrange snacks with art in mind is by putting something striking together, like this Tetris Salad, complete with melons, cheese, herbs, and a beautiful array of veggies. I can guarantee it will leave your guests in awe! BEVS
You'll definitely want to try these stunning, delicious cocktails, inspired by famous works of art, for your adult guests!
If you don't want alcohol at your soiree, you can easily substitute alcohol for a zero-proof option like non-alcoholic champagne for "A Sweet Embrace" and try out non-alcoholic vodka and blueberry juice or blue raspberry syrup in "Dreamy Dusk"! Non-alcoholic options are common in liquor stores nowadays, but you can also source them online! DECOR
Here's where you really get to go all out for your party—decorations! These three ideas are also surprisingly simple to execute.
These Spilling 'Paint' Buckets are among the easiest options. You only need some strips of tulle in a variety of colors, metal buckets, and a strong adhesive like gorilla tape or hot glue! Our second easiest decoration are Splattered Balloons. You'll need just two items, various acrylic paints, and clear or solid balloons in your preferred shape! You can check out our Acrylic Basics page for a video tutorial on splatter painting. The most crucial part of splattering something like a balloon is ensuring it's completely dry before you turn over your balloon to splatter the other side. Otherwise, it may smear. Unlike painting on a canvas, it's not recommended to speed up the drying process because it might cause your balloon to pop or leak air. We don't want that, so you'll need to let your paint dry naturally, which shouldn't be longer than about 15 minutes with acrylic paint! You'll never guess what these Giant Colored Pencils are made of—POOL NOODLES! This Pinterest video shows the creator's process from start to finish. Suppose you want to spend less on this project than the original creator. In that case, you can also use pre-colored pool noodles and/or basic acrylic paint instead of spray paint! ACTIVITY
Now, we have the most important part of any artsy painting party, the painting part! With our canvas painting kits, you will have over 100 painting options to choose from, all complete with essential supplies and full-length video tutorials! What will you choose?
