Whether it’s birthday celebrations or a girl's night, there’s no better time to gather your girlfriends and host your own paint and sip night featuring paint by number kits! In this guide, we explain how to host a paint and sip party, what supplies you need and more
Step 1: Choose Your Paint by Number Kits
First things first, choose the perfect adult paint by number kit to ignite everyone’s creative spark. You’ll want to consider picking a chic design that your crowd will be impressed with, whether that’s a dreamy landscape like Mediterranean Lane or a weekend-inspired print like Hello Sunday.
Paint by numbers kits are perfect for people of all skill levels from beginners to experienced artists, but you’ll want to make sure that the difficulty level matches everyone's skill set and that you’ll have enough time to complete your piece. All of our Self Studio paint by number kits give you information on how long each kit takes and what the general difficulty is.
We know it can be hard to choose so why not narrow it down to three paint ideas and let your girlfriends vote for what they want to paint?
Step 2: Gather Your Supplies & Set The Stage
Before you begin painting, make sure you have all the essentials on hand. Each Self Studio kit already comes with an acrylic paint set and three brushes, so all your girlfriends will need is a jar of water and paper towels to clean their brushes between colours.
Create a calm atmosphere by lighting a candle, turning on some easy-listening background music and dimming the lights. All that’s left to do is lay everything out so everyone has enough room to work comfortably and can easily reach their supplies.
Step 4: Pour The Wine & Craft Your Cheeseboard
You can’t forget the "sip" part of your paint and sip extravaganza so let your girlfriends indulge in a selection of budget-friendly drinks and nibbles. Our favourites are crackers and dip, cheeses, sushi and chocolates.
Wine is often the drink of choice at paint and sip parties but you could include a non-alcoholic option like Moodiskin’s Skin Glow Blend tea. You could even consider concocting a themed beverage to complement your chosen artwork or the occasion. Strawberry mojito to match Spring Bouquet, anyone?
You’ll also want to consider whether you’ll set up a help-yourself station or give your guests a personal sip kit and snack plate.
Step 5: Paint Until You’re Proud
Once the stage is set and the drinks are poured, it's time to follow the numbered guides and watch your masterpieces come to life. Encourage everyone to embrace the process, revel in the joy of creation and pause to chat between colours. As the final touches are added, gather for a group photo with your finished artwork so you can display your creations proudly!
Hosting a paint and sip night with paint by number kits is the epitome of fun and creativity. With a dash of preparation and imagination, you can have an evening brimming with joy and artistic flair. So, gather your supplies, round up your girlfriends and let the painting party begin!
