A more economic version of our classic birthday packages the One Hour Birthday is short, sweet and simple. At this party your guests will have the opportunity to make jewelry for one hour. Most guests can make 1-2 pieces on average during this party type. The MAXIMUM number of guests for this party is 9 including the birthday child.

The Birthday Party To Go is a kit specially designed to fit the needs of parties outside of our service area. Includes top quality supplies, party favor pouches, tools and instructions.

After an introduction we teach the children how to design a charm bracelet and then each guest is offered the opportunity to create any number of beaded projects. (Necklaces, bracelets, earrings, hair jewelry, ankle bracelets, key chains, backpack charms, sun catchers & bookmarks are some of the options that we bring to each party.) We ensure each child makes jewelry that is a perfect fit for them. Children select from a huge array of color coordinated beads made of the highest quality materials! Our “Fly Girls & Guys” are available to assist with design help, bead selection and finalizing each piece with a clasp. 
Each party participant receives an organza gift pouch to store their newly handmade “party favors”. Our “Fly Girls & Guys” need approximately 15 minutes to set up and break down beading supplies.

We bring a huge selection of color coordinated beads made of the highest quality materials such as Czech glass, fresh water pearls, crystals and semi-precious gems! We have a bountiful selection of all colors of the rainbow that we bring to each party.
 We encourage you to read the comments our happy customer’s have made about our jewelry making parties by visiting yelp.

At Dragonfly Designs we tailor the party to the age and interest of the children we are serving. Our highly trained staff have both a background in working with children as well as extensive jewelry making knowledge. We come prepared with everything we need to make the party a fun and engaging experience for children ages 5 and up, teens and tweens.

We have found that party guests enjoy sitting together to work on their jewelry pieces. If you have a large dining room table or kitchen table that can accommodate all party guests that is ideal.
 We bring lots of beads, so the more table space that we have available the better, however we will work with what space you have!
  “Fly Girls & Guys” also need a separate but adjacent surface to complete the childrens projects & display all of the beads, charms & jewelry making options. A separate countertop or foldable table works well for this purpose. Our hosts also appreciate 1 chair. We can fill a 6′ table alone with all the beads and choices that we bring!

For the health and safety of our students and staff, we ask that you not send your child to camp if he/she has or had a fever or diarrhea in the past 24 hours, has an active cough, frequently needs to blow their nose or has any other contagious illness.

When you keep your child at home at the first sign of a communicable disease, you are protecting your sick child from other health problems. You are also protecting other children and staff from exposure to the disease. If your child becomes ill with a communicable disease, contact your doctor to determine proper care and then notify Dragonfly Designs.

It is in the best interest of your child’s well-being to keep them home if they are in an infections state.

A sick child cannot participate effectively in camp in a meaningful way. Keeping a sick child home prevents the spread of illness in the camp community and allows the child an opportunity to rest and recover. The CDC recommends that you stay home for at least 24 hours after your fever is gone (without the use of a fever-reducing medicine). If in doubt, please keep your child home an extra day.
