Project Idea 1: Candle Dipping
Can you ever have enough candles? Of course not! To restock your supply, candle dipping is the perfect idea for your girls' night. For this project, you’ll need colorful paraffin wax with a low melting point, wicks, and a few other supplies.
Additionally, it's a good idea to grab an induction cooktop. You can plug in this mobile kitchen helper right in the living room and prepare the wax while relaxing together in your cozy circle.
Project Idea 2: Painting Easter Figures
The world gets a whole lot brighter with a brush and some paint. But why limit yourselves to just paper or canvas? Painting Easter figures isn't just a way to relax; it’s also a chance to create personalized gifts for your loved ones.
Funky, trendy, or traditional? There are no rules when it comes to painting! Let your creativity run wild—even colorful splatters are allowed.
Pics or it didn’t happen: Before you hand your masterpieces over to the Easter Bunny, let them make an appearance in an Insta Story or a TikTok—as a memory of your creative #girlsnight.

Labubu who? The DIY scene is obsessed with Amigurumi—adorable crocheted figures that transform favorite animals, plants, food, and thousands of other objects into cuddly companions and lucky charms. Amigurumi originated in Japan, and now the whole world is hooked.
You don't need to have ever picked up a needle and thread to make these figures; getting started in the world of Amigurumi is incredibly easy. Just grab the Spring Amigurumi Crochet Set for your girls' night and dive in! Once you've caught the "crochet bug," you can find plenty more patterns online, and you'll find all the wool and yarn you need at Lidl.
Project Idea 4: Learning to Engrave
Engraving turns practically anything into a personalized treasure. What sounds like expert craftsmanship is actually quite simple: engraving pens allow you to customize items like wooden cutting boards, ceramic vases, or metal surfaces such as jewelry and nameplates.
You can work freehand or trace shapes, letters, and more using stencils. For more delicate materials like glass or plastic, it helps to have a little experience. That’s why it’s better to start easy and "level up" your skills at the next girls' night!
