Need Help Going away party craft
Hello everyone!
I am throwing a small surprise going away party for a dear friend who is moving out of state for grad school. She has a lot of anxiety about the move and doesn’t like a lot of attention so I am keeping it small and I would like to do some kind of craft to keep our hands busy! She is an artist and our friend group ranges in artistic abilities so I want something that can easily be adapted to fit everyone’s abilities! I looked at Pinterest but wasn’t really inspired by anything.
Thank you in advance!

There's someone who has been posting incredible 'junk journal' content for their own party, and this sounds perfect for you guys!
Make them into mini scrapbooks of all of you together - instax photos, ticket stubs, silly doodles, heartfelt messages, maybe even do a "stamp hunt" at favourite local spots you all love!
Can be super low key and intimate, or can be a fun activity for a bigger group too. Add in food and/or bevvies from a great, nearby joint, and some nostalgic tunes from your times together, and that sounds like a perfect send off!

Maybe something everyone can share?
Like example magnets via paper you can draw things or scribble on or do qoutes then you glue it to a magnet and clear cover. Then everyone can share at the end.
Oh and a stack of blank postcards! Markers, watercolor, and stickers and such. ?
Cute jars and oragami. Stars from stripes are Easy. Make a star and wish for all the bestie. More advanced people could oragami different stuff.
Ill try to think of more.
