Crafts For Sororities

Create crafts for holiday or season decorations, or as gifts for formals.


Crafts can be integrated into different sorority functions. Create custom crafts as decorations around the house seasonally and for holidays, or make something for a secret sister or formal gift. Puffy paint, a liquid paint that comes in a tube, is a great way to customize already purchased gifts such as picture frames or jewelry boxes. Incorporate your sorority's letters to make gifts long-lasting keepsakes. Visit your local art supply store to find materials to make crafts with your sorority.








Seasonal Ideas


Cut flowers or maple leaves out of construction paper in the spring or autumn, and hang them around the house to bring in the new season. Get together with all of your sorority sisters and spend the day decorating white t-shirts with markers to celebrate the beginning of summer. Adorn winter mugs with your sorority letters and have a hot cocoa social during the cold months.


Holiday Crafts








Holiday crafts can accentuate your sorority house, whether you and your sisters color Easter eggs and write your letters on them with markers or design a mistletoe of your letters over the foyer. Buy paper, cut out decorations for the holidays and use masking tape rolled in small balls to stick them to the walls. Make a sorority event out of getting a Christmas tree, and get art supplies to make all your own decorations with crafts.


Secret Sister Gifts


Secret sister gifts are a great opportunity to use your crafty ability to show a sister how much she means to you. Consider making her a pillow, and sewing or hot glue-gunning your letters onto it with cut out felt. Purchase a picture frame, put your favorite photo or the two of you in it and decorate the frame with jewels, paint, ribbons or any other interesting items from your local art supply store.


Formal Gifts


Save money on formal gifts this season or year by crafting your own gifts. For example, design glasses for the formal with your sorority letters on them for all attendees. Make gifts for each person who attends the formal, or create gifts for each couple.
