Made By Me Craft Parties: Awesome Birthday Party Reviews

These lovely princesses think I’m awesome, but here’s what the Mums, Dads and event organisers have to say!

Lexy arrived early and had everything organised for the party in plenty of time. My daughter had a fantastic day and all the girls attending said it was brilliant. The crafting was tailored towards their age group and they were busy and happy the entire party. I would have no hesitation in recommending Lexy and I would use her services in the future.

My daughter was so excited when I told her I had booked a ‘Spa of Our Own’ party and Lexy certainly didn’t disappoint. Her props, her patience, her timely manner and her ideas were fabulous and enjoyed by all 8 girls. The bath bombs were a particular success and many of the girls have said they have since used them and loved watching them fizz!

I would recommend this party to anyone wanting something a bit unique and would certainly use Lexy again in the future. Thank you! X

‘Lexy did a wonderful job looking after a very energetic bunch of girls, who all managed to create fantastic fairy houses and fairies.

They all had a wonderful time, recommended.’

Lexy did a craft party at my wedding on 4th Feb for 15 children and it was quite simply brilliant. Lexy is fantastic to deal with and makes everything very simple. Her focus is on the guest’s experience and she is a supplier that actually asks you what you want, rather than telling you what you’ll have. The children absolutely loved the crafts and to be honest I have never seen a room full of kids being so quiet and focused, while having such fun. I can’t rate or thank Lexy enough. If you are looking for someone to provide a high quality service/craft party then please check Lexy out, she is well worth the investment! Wishing you every success in the future, as you are fab and so is what you do.

Eliza and her friends had an amazing time at her My Little Pony craft party run by Lexy. The room looked inviting and colourful and the girls could not wait to get started. The activities were aimed perfectly at their age, only requiring a small amount of help from the adults that stayed (and wanted to join in) and they were all happy with their crafts that they got to take home (they all wore their headbands to school the next day).
Thank you Lexy for making the party run smoothly and for all your hard work on the day. Highly recommended.

From the minute Lexy arrived she was nothing short of calm and professional (even getting the birthday girl to “help with a few jobs” to get her to calm down a bit before the guests arrived! She was super excited, bless her!)
We asked for a my little pony themed craft party and I was so impressed with all of the details Lexy had gone to theming all of the activities. The girls made charms, decorated pencil cases and also made the cutest my little pony hair band manes and tails! They were adorable and the girls loved wearing them for the rest of the party and then taking all their goodies home.
Lexy ensured that there were plenty of colours and options for each child to design exactly what they wanted (whilst being professionally guided at all times.) It was lovely to see their creativity going wild!
This was the absolute perfect party for our craft crazy little lady and I would happily recommend Made by Me craft parties to anyone looking for something unique for a special occasion. Huge thanks again to Lexy!

Lexy hosted my daughter, Kimberley’s, 6th Birthday party and everyone had a fantastic time decorating their Pencil Cases and Balloons. It was rounded off by a brilliant balloon popping alternative to pass the parcel – fantastic afternoon! We thought we were brave to hold it at home but we shouldn’t have worried – Thank you Lexy for such a well organised and fun party! It’s lovely that they have nice things they had made to take away at the end (and somewhere to tuck the cake and little bits and pieces!).

Karen Elborne, Wimborne

Lexy hosted my daughter’s 9th birthday party – and was absolutely brilliant! I could tell from the moment that Lexy arrived that she took great pride in her work! She arrived promptly to set up well in advance of the arrival of the guests. Lexy also ensured that all the appropriate tools and materials were provided.<br />When my daughter’s friends arrived, Lexy was kind and explained exactly what each of the activities involved. I have never seen a group of 9 year olds so focused for so long! They were all delighted with their pencil cases and the hot air balloons, which proved to look spectacular as a going-home gift, with a slice of birthday cake in the basket!
Thank you, Lexy, for not only delivering a fantastic craft party, but also the professional manner in which you arrived, hosted and cleared up to such a high standard – offering extra time to make sure that each creation was finished to a high standard for the girls to take home with them!
I would definitely recommend Lexy to anyone whose child enjoys crafty activities, and who expects a thoroughly professional but fun party host! Worth every penny!

“Thank you so much for a fantastic birthday party. It was the talk of the class for some time. My son James amazed me as I’ve never seen him sit & concentrate on something so enthusiastically, I’m lucky if he paints a picture for more than 5 minutes!

I definitely think the party was value for money and the quality of the products used were fantastic.”

Jo, Broadstone

“The service provided by Lexy at Made by Me Craft Parties was excellent. She came up with the concept for the table decorations at our Presigious Annual Awards Ceremony and provided different options to fit in with our budget requirements. The finished pinwheel centre pieces looked great on the tables and matched our theme perfectly.
Even better is the fact that they are reusable so fit in with our ‘green’ criteria. Having the decorations made for us and delivered (prompt and on time) took a whole lot of stress out of the day itself.
Lexy provided a thorough, professional and friendly service and I would highly recommend it to anyone.”

Students’ Union at Bournemouth University

“We asked Lexy to provide a range of simple Christmas themed crafting activities for the guests at our Christmas thank you evening for the charity’s volunteers. With a mix of adults, children and people with disabilities to accommodate, Lexy planned the projects perfectly so that everyone was able to have a go, no matter what their skill, experience of craft or capabilities were. Lexy led the activities with clear direction and consideration for each individual’s needs to ensure that everyone made something they were happy with and could take home.

Lexy is very skilled and clearly takes pride in planning each commission carefully to ensure the client’s brief is fully met. We would recommend her to any individual, group or organisation wishing to provide something a little bit different for an event or party.”

‘Lexy arranged a frozen themed craft party for my daughter’s 5th birthday. It was brilliantly organised, well ran and all the children were kept entertained and involved in all activities. 5 year olds attention spans aren’t easy to keep, but Lexy did a great job. Great value for money, I would highly recommend.’

Josie, Bournemouth

“I have worked with ‘Made By Me Craft Parties’ every summer for the past 4 years and am consistently impressed with the response we get from our students. Lexy is fantastic at teaching and aiding our language students to create something to remember their time in the UK. The craft workshops are a chance for the students to interact with each other in a calm environment, often exchanging ideas and advice both as a group or working individually. She has always provided expert guidance with a professional and friendly service. It’s great to be able to offer an activity that is not only unique, but personal to the individual with attentive support and a smile”

Matt Uphill – The Bournemouth School of English (Leisure Co-ordinator)

‘Lexy came to my daughter’s 6th birthday party and ran a workshop making hot air balloons, which were used as party favours.
Lexy is professional, friendly and a great organiser. The children all went away with a unique and personal gift from the party and I would certainly recommend Made by Me Parties to anyone needing a crafty touch to their event.’

Fiona Venus, Ferndown

‘Lexy ran a great crafting party for my 15 year old daughter, Darcie, and her group of friends. Lexy geared the crafting to teenagers and it worked wonderfully. Darcie and her friends were thrilled to bits with their pretty bunting decorations and birdcage sweetie box, which they got to keep and take home. It saved me having to do party bags too!!’

Gillie Blood, Bournemouth

“ Lexy recently ran my daughter’s 7th birthday party. There were 7 girls and they made a card and a covered notebook. Lexy was clear in her instruction and demonstration and pitched the level of difficulty perfectly for the age of the children. She was friendly, patient, yet firm and kept the girls engaged the whole time. With the clever use of a large range of stamps and embellishments for the children to choose from when making their own designs, Lexy ensured they weren’t just copying her, but using their own imaginations, which made them more interested and proud of the results. I would have no hesitation in recommending Lexy’s parties for children as I believe they are great value for money, an inspiration for children’s creativity and Lexy is an excellent presenter.”

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had such a lovely time at our daughter’s 8th birthday slime party. All the children had an absolute blast and loved making all the different types of slime. Lexy had so many different options for them to choose from, and everything was so well organised from start to finish, even providing her own table cloth and aprons for the kids. We had really positive feedback from all the parents afterwards, with everyone saying how much their children had enjoyed themselves. Most importantly, we had one very happy birthday girl 🥰 A massive well done to Lexy for keeping 11 eight year old children entertained and under control for the whole party. Would definitely recommend Lexy for a fun, stress free party.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lexy was absolutely incredible and somehow managed to keep a group of very excited little girls completely captivated from start to finish! It was so much more than just making slime. The girls actually learnt what goes into it and made everything themselves, choosing their own colours, glitters, charms and even scents. They decorated their slime pots and party bags, made fluffy slime and even learnt how to blow huge bubbles with it — they were completely in their element! Every part was so hands on and beautifully thought out with so many little details and choices that made it feel really special to each child. And from a parent’s point of view, it was an absolute dream — Lexy arrived with everything she needed, set it all up and tidied everything away afterwards. We genuinely didn’t have to think about a thing. Seeing how happy and engrossed they all were for the entire party said it all. Lexy is brilliant at what she does and gave our daughter the dreamiest 4th birthday. We’ll 100% be booking another one of her parties in the future!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I booked a slime party for my daughter’s 9th birthday and Lexy was simply amazing from start to finish! Lexy had great communication from booking right through to the event itself and even afterwards. She was super engaging throughout the session and my daughter and her friends absolutely loved the party and how good it was! The girls loved the personalisation aspect of making the slimes and making each one unique to themselves! Having someone else run the party aswell takes so much stress off the parent and just made everything so much more enjoyable! Lexy also accommodated travelling a little further than she normally would to my address which I’m very grateful for! I highly recommended Lexy and Made by Me Craft Parties if you want something fun and unique for your little ones! I wouldn’t hesitate to book again 🥰🩷

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We booked Lexy for a slime making party for my son, as we wanted something a little bit different from the usual disco/ bouncy castle style parties and we are so glad we did.  👌 The children were engaged from start to finish. They decorated their little party bags and pots then got down to business creating 3 pots of slime. Lexy expertly guided the children in successful slime making at their pace, choosing their colours and charms and textures. The booking process was nice and easy and I love how Lexy used my party theme to theme her slime colours, charm selections, stickers, scents and even down to her outfit colours. It couldn't have gone any smoother and the children absolutely loved making and exploring their creations. Thankyou, highly recommended.

She recently provided a slime party for my 9 year daughter which was stress free from start to finish. Lexy is wonderful with the children and I have no hesitation in recommending her. This is the second time I have used her services.

She was friendly and organised and the children all had a brilliant time. We’ve used Lexy for several parties and they continue to be the easiest and least stressful option! Thank you Lexy 🙂

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My daughter had the "get stuffed" make your own teddy bear party for her 9th birthday. Lexy was absolutely brilliant. They had a great time. The bears are surprisingly decent quality and a good size. Lexy provided so much stuff for them to do that it was a really stress free party for us parents! Lexy did everything, including cleaning up. They came away with a packed party bag that they decorated themselves, so we didn't even need to provide party bags. We will definitely invite her again for future parties.

So very helpful during the ordering process all the way through to the day of the party. My 9 year old and her 4 friends had the best time stuffing their soft toys and making the Bracelets and T-shirts! Excellent party idea! The time flew past as they were having such a great time. High quality products and easy to do! Highly recommend

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently had Lexy for a Spa Craft Party for our daughter’s 5th birthday and it was fantastic from start to finish. Everything was so well organised, and the children were kept entertained and engaged the whole time. The girls were so excited to make their own bath bombs, lipgloss and decorate their makeup bags. Our daughter and her friends are still talking about it and keep calling it “the best party ever!” Highly recommend for a fun, stress-free children’s party.
