12 Galentine’s Day Craft Ideas to Try with Your Girls

I thank our fictional firecracker Leslie Knope for giving us a lot of things, but inventing Galentine’s Day might be her greatest gift ever. A day for “ladies celebrating ladies,” February 13th has become a whole cultural phenomenon. It’s the best excuse to get your girls together and celebrate female friendship—no boys allowed. And ladies, the time has almost come. The champagne is stocked, the rom-coms are queued, the tablecape has been Pinterested, and now comes the fun part: planning the evening’s activity. And what’s the best hands-on activity to embrace peak girlhood? Craft night, of course.

A Galentine’s Day craft night is the perfect excuse to get creative, deepen your bonds, and celebrate your friends’ creative genius as you lean over their masterpieces and go, “OMG, that’s so cute!” Which is why I scoured TikTok to find some fun, on-theme, and actually doable craft ideas for you and girls to try this year. Grab the pink paint, allllll the glitter, and something fun to sip on because these crafts are the cutest way to celebrate. Here are 12 creative craft ideas to try with your gals this Galentine’s Day:
