Looking for a unique and hands-on party experience that kids will actually love? Patch parties are the answer! These fun, interactive events let kids create personalized accessories using trendy patches—and the best part? They go home with custom favors they actually want to use. Whether you’re planning a birthday, school event, slumber party, or Bat Mitzvah, patch parties are a creative crowd-pleaser.
What Are Patch Parties?
Patch parties are fun and engaging craft-based events where kids design and decorate items like bags, hats, or even jean jackets using a huge variety of colorful patches. With hundreds of patch styles to choose from—think hearts, initials, emojis, peace signs, sports, animals, glitter, and more—each child can express their own personality through their design.
These parties are more than just arts and crafts—they’re a fully immersive experience. Our team brings everything needed for a stylish, organized setup, and we offer different packages to match your party style, size, and budget.
Why Kids Love Patch Parties
Patch parties give kids the freedom to create something that reflects their personality. They’re not just gluing something together—they’re designing something they’ll actually use and show off.
- Creative Expression: Kids love customizing their own pieces with patches that match their style.
- Tangible Takeaways: Instead of plastic party favors, guests leave with a custom accessory they’ll use long after the party ends.
- No Two Creations Are the Same: Every guest’s design is unique, which makes it even more special.
What Items Can Kids Decorate?
At our patch parties, kids can choose to decorate:
- Tote Bags
- Baseball Hats
- Makeup or Pencil Pouches
- Denim Jackets (available as an upgrade or BYO)
- Backpacks (seasonal or as an add-on)
We make sure every item is party-ready and patch-compatible, so kids get a final product they’re proud to show off.
