Girls Slumber Party Themes

Hi fellow Frugal Girls!  For this party, I used a lime green twin size flat sheet for the table cloth and put craft supplies in cute tin buckets.

The buckets were purchased at Target from the Dollar Spot section.

I made the flower centerpieces from clearance items as well.

Then, I picked up the flower charger and dot napkins from Hobby Lobby.

I purchased a small chocolate fountain and the girls dipped strawberries and marshmallows in it.

They had a LOT of fun!

Girls Slumber Party Favors

Hailey and I made their goodie baskets with spa essentials (picked up from the Dollar Store) as well as their craft items.

They colored their own pillowcase and made fabric flip flops.

The baskets were purchased from the Dollar Tree and we cut out their names from scrapbook paper using a personal cutting system.

Girls Slumber Party Favors

Spin the Bottle Nail Polish Game

I made this game – a “new” version of spin the bottle!

Each girl took turns spinning, and when it landed on a color they had to paint 1 toe (or finger) with that particular color.

When it landed on the other spaces they could pick their favorite color.

The girl who had all nails painted first won a prize.

Here are the girls after the Spin the Bottle Nail Polish Game…

Girl Slumber Party Crafts

Here was craft time – as they color their own pillowcases purchased from ColorTime.

Note: They were the most expensive part of her party supplies.

Flip Flop Craft

I pre-cut strips of tulle and fabric for them to tie onto inexpensive flip flops we purchased.

They LOVED this craft!!!

All the girls were able to wear their flip flops home after the party.

Frugal friend Marion writes: "My granddaughters loved this craft! Ages 4-12."

Wasn’t that such a great party?

Thanks so much to Christina for sharing!

Girls Slumber Party Activities

Here’s another fun flip flop variation you could make at your Sleepover parties, too…

How to Make Flower Flip Flops

How to Make Flower Flip Flops Tutorial

What You’ll Need

Flip Flops (I found some on sale for 60 cents per pair at Michael’s!)

Flower Flip Flop Tutorial

Silk Floral Stems (I found some for $1.00/bunch at Michael’s)

DIY Flower Flip Flops

Jewels (can be found at any craft store)

Hot Glue G*n

Homemade Flower Flip Flops

What You’ll Do

1. Take apart flower by removing stem, plastic backing, and center of flower.

Embellished Flip Flops

2. These flowers had several layers, so I added just a smidge of hot glue between each layer to keep them together.

3. Then, add hot glue to the back of a jewel, and place it in the center.

I use the hot setting on my glue g*n.  The lower temperature glue won’t work well, so make sure it’s hot… but no burning fingers, okay?? 😉

How to Embellish Flip Flops

4. Add hot glue to the top center of the flip flop straps, then press flower on.

Handmade Flower Flip Flops Tutorial

5. Now… if you live in a hot, hot, hot climate… you could also attach these with thread and needle, to make sure they’re extra secure.

Embellished Flower Flip Flops

Good job… you did it!  Wasn’t that easy??

These took me about 5 minutes per pair to make ~ so this is definitely a quick project!

How Much Did it Cost?

  • Flip Flops (60 cents on sale at Michael’s)
  • Silk Flowers ($1.00 per bunch on sale at Michael’s)
  • Jewels ($2.99 for pack of 55 at Michael’s)
  • Total Cost per pair: About $1.65!!

        Another idea ( i would recomend doing this outside)… take a plastic solo cup (any color), put some baking powder in, and then vinager, It will look exatly like a volcano…. If you want you can put some food color in a cup with some vinager and pour it in the baking powder.

      Thank you so much for sharing your (and your friend’s) ideas! LOVE the spin the bottle game. We host an end of season party for our daughter’s soccer team. I always try to find a fun group game. The team is 3-5th grade which means there is a big swing in opinion on what is ‘cool.’ This is perfect!

      We are planning my 9 year old grand daughters party now. We purchased pillow cases from Dollar Tree for 1.00 each, these we will use to write the invitations on and mail them out to the girls, asking them to bring their own pillow to go in it that night. She loves the color green so we are having a GREEN party! everything will be green. Have t-shirts that their names will be monogramed on that they will wear as night shirts. The gift baskets that they will take home has all green gifts. Been working on this for a couple of months so we don’t have one large expense all at once

      This year I am giving my daughter and my niece a Fancy Nancy (girls book seires) princess slumber party! I found some foam tiara’s at a discount craft store and lots of sequin and glue on “jewels”, along with feathers and glitter paint they will each get to make a “fancy” tiera! We are going to have a tea party with fancy cookies (Peperidge Farms) and fancy sandwiches (cucumber, pb&J cut outs). We will also be doing “fancy” makeovers with glitter, feathers, makeup and nail polish. Each girl will have her picture made while she is “fancy” which I will later use as a thank you note for attending the party. After some singing and dancing I will read several of the Fancy Nancy books as she girls wind down for bedtime. The age will range from 4 – 8 and I hope they all love it.

      My daughter was turning 11 wanted a sleepover so I had them do these fun activities and they really enjoyed them all. They first made neckalces or bracelets with store bought beads , then, have a contest making an outfit out of foil; you slipt the guest up into teams and see who makes the best outfit, or decorate little bags with paint for your guest to take home all their prizes like nail polish and lip gloss. Hope these help someone.

      I just turned 11 on the 17th of April and I wanted to do something fun for my birthday. My mom said she doesn’t want to spend too much money. I decided to do a slumber party which is inexpensive and you don’t have to have a limit of people. I am only going to invite maybe 4 people. Thank you every one for the great party ideas!

      You can play truth or dare by getting a box writing some truths and dares down on cards and putting it in the box then you pick a card and do it what it says for example: truth:when was the last time you picked your nose? and dare:sing a full song in front of everybody.

      How FUN! I’m all about the DIY parties for girls…I have 2 little ones and we’ve had many themed girlie parties. One year we did a posh tea party with mini treats and rhinestone crafts (all found at the $1 store). The next year we had a “girls day in” Spa Day. Each girl received a mini facial, pedicure, and we did a little funky yoga to music of their choice. All girls wore their best comfy clothes & I enlisted my best friend in helping with all of the spa treatments. 🙂

      We just had a slumber party for 9 year old girls. I love your ideas we also did: Decorate your own popcorn bag (paper lunch sacks) they used later when they watched a movie, Scavanger hunt, for goody bags we went to dollar store and filled make up bags with nail polish and mix-matched socks. ( split up all the pairs just to be silly) they sat in a circle and you had to paint the person on either side toes so they end up with diffrent colors on each foot. oh and speghetti tacos from I-Carly and a flash light dance party at the end.

      Family fun has a fun craft of making some small pillows out of fabric tying them just like you do for those tie blankets (where you cut strips of fabric on both sides and then tie them together to make one). The pillows you cut the fabric, and start stuffing them and then tie up the ends to make your pillow! Gonna do this, plus a sleeping beauty (my daughter’s favorite) theme and cake for her party. I love the spin the bottle idea with the the toe nail polish. I think the 9 or soon to be 9 yr old girls will love that!

      Thank you for sharing these great ideas, will use them in the future. I also did a flip flop craft at my daughter’s birthday party at a local nail salon. Fortunately, my daughter’s birthday is in the summer and we went during the week. I put all the girls name in a hat and then pick 5 names, those 5 went and had there nails painted while the others make their own flip flops and then we switched. After their nails were painted which cost me about $8 per girl, they got to wear their handmade flip flops home. The girls loved it.

          All you have to do is tie strips of ribbon, felt, etc to the flip flop. Trust me, it’s very easy.
