If you ask me, there is no better way to spend a Summer Saturday than with 6 of my best gal pals, an easy tropical themed party menu (featuring some of my favorite, in season Fresh from Florida produce) and creative crafting! Throw in a sparkling party punch, a few hours of catching up with the ladies, 4 tropical crafts and this girl is in heaven!
I can't wait to share all the details of the colorful Tropical Summer Craft Party with you!
I added tropical leaf decor by using a place mat and paper coasters scattered on top of the white table cloth
Small details like the yellow pineapple swizzle sticks and paper drink umbrellas add more color and just scream "Summer" With so much gorgeous Florida produce like watermelon, sweet corn, blueberries, bell peppers and star fruit in season, I was inspired to create a fun tropical themed menu with some of the mouth-watering ingredients grown in my home state.
In season produce is affordable and at its peak for freshness and flavor, so highlighting sweet corn and watermelon was a no brainer! Sweet & Smoky Hawaiian Cocktail Sausages - the combination of crushed pineapple & BBQ sauce is delicious! Easy Tropical Fruit Salad featuring Fresh from Florida watermelon, served in clear plastic cups and garnished with paper drink umbrellas!
Ingredients Scale 1x 2x 3x ¼ small Fresh from Florida watermelon (cut into bite sized pieces)
strawberries (about ) (tops removed, cut into bite sized pieces) ¼ cup reserved juice from oranges To serve, spoon fruit salad into individual clear plastic cups and top with a colorful paper drink umbrella.
All the ladies loaded up their plates and enjoyed fueling up on lots of fresh fruit and veggies before settling down to get their craft on! The paper tablecloth protected the table top from glue, sugar scrub and ink pads and I just threw it away for easy clean up!
Dollar Store Pineapple Candle Craft Using green card stock, trace the lid of the candle and cut out a circle to cover the lid Using green card stock, cut pineapple leaves and make sure to cut a small tab at the bottom of the leaves so you can fold it and attach the leaves to the green circle.
Mix together ¾ cup granulated sugar with 3-4 tablespoons of coconut oil Add several drops of watermelon fragrance and a bit of red/pink food coloring and stir until everything is incorporated Scoop mixture into a mason jar and secure the lid.
