Crafting at a girls' night: Recommended by scientists
On TikTok and Insta, women of all ages celebrate being creative – preferably together and comfortably in loungewear in the living room. Crafting is the easiest way to give your mind a break. This is even confirmed by research. Numerous studies confirm that handicrafts reduce stress and improve mood.
A nice side effect: In crafting, the journey is the destination. Therefore, no one in your group of girls needs any prior knowledge. With creative tools from Lidl and a few easy ideas, the programme is ready. What's absolutely essential? Naturally good food, delicious drinks and the right playlist. So, let's set a date and get going!
Project idea 1: Making candle
Can one ever have enough candles? Of course not! To replenish your supply, candle making is the perfect idea for your girls' night. For this project, you will need coloured paraffin wax with a low melting point, wicks and a few other supplies.
Additionally, you should ideally get an induction cooker. You can plug in this mobile kitchen helper in the living room and prepare the wax in a cosy atmosphere.
Project idea 2: Painting Easter figures
With a brush and paint, the world becomes more colourful. But why always paint only on paper or canvases? Painting Easter figures is not only a relaxing activity, but also a way to create personal gifts for your loved ones.
Unusual, trendy, or traditional? There are no rules when it comes to painting! Let your creativity run wild – even colourful splashes are allowed.
Pics or it didn’t happen: Before you hand your artwork over to the Easter Bunny, have it appear in an Instagram story or a TikTok – as a reminder of your creative #girlsnight.
Project idea 3: Crocheting amigurumi
Labubu who? The DIY scene is crazy about amigurumi – cute, crocheted figures that transform favourite animals, plants, food, and a thousand other objects into cuddly companions and lucky charms. Amigurumi originated in Japan, but now the whole world is crocheting it.
You don’t need to have any experience with needle and thread before creating these figures; getting started in the world of amigurumi is very easy: Get the Spring Amigurumi Crochet Kit for your girls' night and get started. Has the urge to crochet been awakened? Further instructions can be found online; wool and yarn are available at Lidl.
Project idea 4: Learn to engrave
Engravings turn practically anything into a personal item. What sounds like great craftsmanship is actually quite easy: Engraving pens can be used to personalise items such as wooden cutting boards, ceramic vases, or metal surfaces like jewellery and nameplates.
You can work freehand or pre-draw shapes, letters, etc. using stencils. For more delicate materials like glass or plastic, you should already have some experience. So it's best to start with something simpler and move on to more complex options at your next girls' night!
