Cozy Crafting with Butter + Besties

Butter in your glass, a craft in your hand and the group chat finally in the same room? Consider this your official sign to plan a cozy fall girls’ night. 

You don’t need to be a crafting expert—or turn your living room into an art supply store—to make it happen. Choose a project, set out the supplies, add a snack board and let everyone create something cute enough to take home. We saved three easy fall DIY ideas from social that are practically begging for a night in with Butter. 

Paint Fall Candles 

Plain taper candles are getting a fall glow-up. 

Use candle-safe paint or colored wax to add tiny leaves, florals, pumpkins, bows or little ghosts. Everyone can follow the same inspiration or create a completely different design for a mix-and-match candle collection. 

Once they’re dry, place the finished candles in holders and use them to decorate the table for the rest of the evening. Craft and tablescape in one? We love an overachiever. 

You’ll need: Taper candles, candle-safe paint or colored wax, fine paintbrushes and candle holders.

If you plan to light the candles, use materials intended for candles, keep designs away from the wick and never leave them unattended. 

 

Make Fall Keychains 

Everyone’s favorite summer craft just got a fall makeover. 

Use colorful paracord, chunky beads, letter beads and seasonal charms to create personalized keychains for bags, keys or water bottles. Guests can spell out their names, add initials or choose a favorite word, then finish their keychains with beads in warm fall shades like brown, burgundy, cream and orange. 

Make one for yourself, trade with a friend or create an extra for someone who couldn’t make it. Cute, practical and easy enough to assemble while sipping Butter. 

You’ll need: Paracord, key rings, assorted beads, letter beads, seasonal charms and scissors.

Customize Fall Hair Clips 

Your everyday claw clip is getting a personalized fall upgrade. 

Start with plain clips in tortoiseshell, cream, brown or another seasonal shade, then decorate them with letter charms, tiny flowers, pearls, rhinestones or other embellishments. Spell out a name, add initials or create a design that matches your fall aesthetic. 

Set out the supplies like a little clip bar and let everyone create something completely their own. It’s easy, wearable and guaranteed to make an appearance in the group photo before the night is over. 

You’ll need: Plain claw clips, letter charms, flat-back embellishments, strong craft adhesive and tweezers.

Make It a Butter Night 

Once you’ve chosen the craft, keep everything else easy. Set up one table for supplies, turn on a fall playlist and serve snacks that can be enjoyed between glue-gun emergencies. 

Stock the wine table with a few Butter options so everyone has a pour. Keep it classic with OG Butter Chardonnay, lighten things up with ButterLight or include ButterZero Chardonnay for an alcohol-free option. 

No elaborate itinerary required. Just a saved DIY, your favorite people and plenty of Butter. 

Now send the invite before the group chat gets distracted.
