Looking for girls night crafts for adults that go beyond another blank canvas? Think flower-covered phone cases, colorful bracelets and little dishes for your rings.
These ideas include projects to make together plus a few creative table setups worth borrowing for your night.
You can keep things simple or go all out with the colors. Pick a project you’re excited to try, make room for everyone’s supplies and let each person put their own spin on it.
Craft ideas for your next girls night
little ghost painting
We’re starting off strong with this adorable ghost painting. I love the little white ghost peeking through the tall brown plants.
The black bats across the pale sky make it a cute choice for a Halloween craft night.
Try the same muted background if you want your ghost to stand out without adding lots of bright colors.
flower-topped candles
How pretty are these pastel candles? The purple, peach and cream colors look lovely with flowers arranged around the edges.
Everyone could choose a different color combination while keeping the same scalloped bowl shape.

Treat flower-covered candles like these as unlit decorations. For candles you plan to burn, leave dried flowers and other flammable decorations out.
wildflower phone cases
I am obsessed with these floral phone cases. The tiny white flowers, yellow blooms and blue accents look like a little garden you can carry around.
For your own version, try pressed-flower-look stickers inside a clear case. Choose designs with delicate stems and leaves to follow the botanical look shown here.
a charcuterie wreath
Want a creative activity you can serve afterward? This snack wreath is such a pretty alternative to a craft project.
The salami roses are my favorite part, with grapes, crackers and fans of cheese filling the circle.
Borrow the wreath shape for your own board, but skip unidentified decorative flowers near food. Choose food-safe edible garnishes instead.
rainbow burst shirts
If you love bright colors, this one is for you. Pink splashes surround a blue, green and yellow burst on the white shirt.
The other shirts show different takes on the same colorful idea.
For a girls night version, give everyone a white tee and let them choose their own color order. Follow the dye or clothing-paint instructions for setting the design.
a pastel bath salts bar
This is such a cute way to set out a shared activity. The colored bath salts sit in labeled jars, with little empty jars ready to fill.
I especially love the pink and yellow layers in the finished one.
Use bath products intended for skin contact and keep their ingredient labels available. You could add blank gift tags for everyone to decorate.
knotted leaves and fringe
Don’t want to get the paints out? Try a macramé night instead.
There are little knotted leaf shapes, fringed pieces and circular designs spread across this table.
Set out a small pattern at each place like the examples here. I’d choose one leaf design for everyone to learn together before trying something larger.
pastel planet mugs
How cute are these little planets? The pale blue-gray planets look so sweet with yellow stars and crescent moons scattered around them.
I love the blue interior on the mug at the back too.
A pottery-painting studio would be a lovely setting for this idea. Ask about food-safe finishes and firing before using your finished mug.
botanical hoop art
I love this mix of leafy pictures, abstract shapes and textured designs inside round hoops. The rust, cream and black colors look so pretty together.
You don’t all have to make the same piece. Try a botanical print in yours or choose a patterned background with a small photograph in the middle.
a succulent decorating station
The little rosette-shaped succulents are so cute in this setup. Trays of pebbles, bright green moss and decorative picks give everyone different details to choose from.
For your own planting night, I’d use pots with drainage holes rather than copy the glass bowl. Keep the pebbles as a decorative accent instead of treating them as a substitute for drainage.
colorful bead bracelets
If you are looking for lots of color options, then this one is for you. There are letter beads, little smiley faces and bright shapes all down the table.
I love the beads sorted into small clear bowls. Try spelling out a nickname or keep yours simple with a repeating pink-and-blue pattern.
magazine collage inspiration
This picture is more of a mood-setter than a finished craft: a fashion magazine with a glass resting on top. The mix of portraits, outfits and lettering could be a starting point for a collage night.
Bring magazines you’re happy to cut up, then choose pictures and words for your own board. Keep drinks to the side while you work.
a blank tote painting setup
Don’t want to decide on everyone’s design beforehand? No problem!
This setup leaves the choice open, with plain light-colored totes arranged around shared paints and brushes.
Slip a protective insert inside each bag before painting. You could offer a few simple starting ideas, like a bow, a flower or a big initial.
flowers all down the table
Flower fans, this one is for you. Pink and orange blooms sit among piles of greenery while people work on small floral arrangements.
There are flower crowns in the picture too!
Choose either little bouquets or crowns as your group project. I’d keep the pink flowers and add a few orange blooms like the arrangement at the front.
little ring dishes
That tiny floral dish in the middle is just adorable. It holds a few rings while the pieces around it are still being shaped, so you get a lovely glimpse of the project at different stages.
Try a shallow round dish with a slightly uneven rim. A few small painted flowers would be a sweet finishing detail once your chosen clay is ready to decorate.
a painted flower glass
This floral glass may just be one of my favorites here. I love the purple petals, tiny blue dots and white daisies across the bowl.
Even the base has its own little flower border.
Keep any painted design away from the rim and inside of your glass. Use paint intended for glass and follow its curing instructions.
fall lip balm charms
OMG, how adorable is the little ghost charm? These lip balm keychains pair beaded strands with a pumpkin, bones and autumn leaves.
The purple-and-black version is such a fun Halloween option.
Choose a ready-made holder or attachment designed for your tube, then personalize the charm strand. I’d keep the tiny coffee cup on the gold-colored one.
lemons cherries and pink bows
Here’s the tote idea again, this time with plenty of designs to borrow. I am obsessed with the yellow lemons and wavy blue border on the bag at the front.
There are pink hearts, cherries and a big bow too. Pick one motif you love rather than trying to fit every design onto your bag.
a mixing-and-filling station
If you’re planning a bath-product workshop, this table offers some setup inspiration. Small clasp jars, measuring tools and a scale sit beside bowls of purple powder. The photo doesn’t identify the ingredients or the finished mixture.
Use a verified skin-safe formula for your chosen project rather than guessing from the picture. Little labels for the finished jars would be a useful addition.
wine-themed textured coasters
Last but definitely not least, we have these cute wine-themed coasters. I love how the tipped bottle on one pairs with the glass on the other.
The burgundy and black details look so good against the cream loops.
Save this pair as inspiration for a punch-needle night. You could each make one half of the design or create a matching pair.
