The Snacks (Needed Every Craft Night)
Every craft night (in my opinion) needs a few snacks! These are some simple snacks (all but one) you can buy at the store. Do not be afraid to ask your friends to bring some snacks as well!
Every craft night needs a nice drink. Grab some wine. Grab a bottle of red and white, that way everyone is pleased.
Wine
Grab a few bags of salty chips. Stick with potato or grab a few fun flavors (Doritos always go fast). If you want salsa, grab some tortilla chips as well!
Chips
Dip is a classic get-together food. Grab salsa, chip dip, or guac! Do not forget the chips!
Salsa & Dips
Grab a few non-alcoholic drinks just in case someone can't or doesn't want to drink!
Soda & Pop
You're going to need something sweet… well I need something sweet! Grab a few cookies or brownies!
Cookies
If you have time make a cookie cake! This looks delicious!!!

Junk Journal Night
After a trip, we all get together and do our travel journals together. It is a super fun way to get ideas and advice for your page! (If you are a junk journaler - check out my other list for supplies for yourself.) You could even make a page based on...
BRING SCISSORS. We bring bags and bags of junk, but always forget to bring scissors. 4 or more journalers sharing scissors is not easy - however, it does make you bond. So forget them if you want- either way, you will have fun!

Painting Night
Painting brings out the child in me. I love to paint, and painting with friends is even better- add some wine to mix and it will be a blast! You can all paint the same thing and follow a video or paint whatever you want!
Grab some canvases to paint on. If this is too expensive, ask people to bring their own or you could recycle and use leftover cardboard!

Obviously, you will need to grab a set of paints. If you dont want a full set, get white black, red, yellow, and red! You will have leftovers to use as you please after!
