With Halloween behind us and Thanksgiving later this month; it’s time to start thinking about Christmas! The Christmas season is the perfect time to get together with family and friends. A Christmas Painting Party is a great way to celebrate the season and mix things up a bit!

Social Artworking
As you may know, I’m a DecoArt Core Blogger and I’ve partnered with their Social Artworking program to bring you a few simple ideas for a Christmas Painting party! Last summer, we hosted our very own Superhero Art Party and it was so fun! So naturally, I’m excited to share a fun party designed around one of their awesome Christmas designs, Christmas Car.
If you are not familiar with Social Artworking, allow me to share how easy the program works. First you visit the Social Artworking website to browse the many designs available. Once you select your favorite design, you simply add the pre-selected materials and paints to your cart according to the number of guests you plan on inviting. There is even a virtual Party Planner that will calculate what exactly you need for the number of guests. It’s that easy! Once your items are received, you’re ready to party!
Christmas Painting Party
If you know me at all, you know I love themed parties. So I was over the moon when I found the cutest Christmas Truck packed with gifts for my table centerpiece! Once I had my centerpiece picked out, all I need to do was create an invitation (see free printable below), backdrop, some cupcakes and a few party favors. For the backdrop, I decided on tulle for a soft backgroud and my silver glitter Merry Christmas sign which match the silver details of the centerpiece.
I set out a couple of jars filled with Christmas candy as well as a fresh batch of vanilla cupcakes for our guests. For a festive look, I added peppermint sticks and cherry sours plus a little dash of nutmeg.
I made Christmas Tree Party Favors and filled them with gummi bears. I also laid out a red, green and silver tassel garland on the table with a red and white striped table runner.
I just love how the little truck even had a wreath in front!
Once the dessert table was set, I set up the table where all the magic will happen. I covered my table with a festive Santa themed table runner and set out all the easels.
My kit included everything I needed for our party; easels, brushes, canvases, paints and the materials needed for the design.
I had painting palettes from our last party, which were perfect for mixing our paint.
I’m not a paint artist, so the fact that you don’t know how to paint is a HUGE plus for me. All you need to do is trace the included design with tracing paper!
I could never create this free hand!
The evolution is amazing!
Voila, instant artist!

What a fun party idea. I have always wanted to do a painting party type of thing.
That sounds like so much fun! This would be the perfect thing for an awesome night out
I am not ready to be thinking about Christmas yet. I think my girlfriends would really enjoy a Christmas painting party.
That looks like a lot of fun. I have been in the Christmas spirit for a couple of weeks now. I am ready to do this. And I would love to paint for Christmas!
Now this is my kind of Christmas party! Delicious food, fabulous art and a whole lot of festive fun!
I love the Holiday season but if I start thinking about it so early, I will break the bank and go crazy.
My friend and I were wanting to do Wine and Canvas locally, but I just found out they went out of business. I think having a Christmas painting party at home would be a blast!
That painting came out beautiful- Mine would not look like that! I loved the decor too!
I would love to have a painting party. This is a great painting. I will have to start planning mine.
I’ll leave the painting to my sisters – but I am all about those cupcakes!
We love painting parties! It is the perfect way to celebrate the holiday and create some magical stuff in the process!
I have always wanted to go to a painting party, this looks so much fun! And I love the virtual party planning, that seems like it would make things so much easier to have a good time.
Ok, so now I have to do this. I think it would be a fun night for all the ladies to get together and paint.
What a fantastic turnout that was! Thanks for the free print outs as well. Happy Christmas for us all!
