10 Unique (and Free) At-Home Activities to Try For Adults

4 | Throw Paint Everywhere…

But make the target your canvas. If you’ve been racking your brain trying to find a way to unleash your creativity, then this activity is for you! Why not host a Virtual Paint & Sip Party! This activity is inspired by my friend Chelsea, who’s apartment complex so flawlessly made this a reality for their residents. As you can see from the pictures below, Chelsea’s complex definitely went all out, but you can (and should) keep your party low key.

How To Host a Low-Key Virtual Paint & Sip Party

Step 1: The Painting

Choose a simple painting tutorial (see below)

Step 2: The Beverage

Choose your favorite alcoholic / non-alcoholic beverage (sip while you paint)

Step 3: Send Out Invites

AND last but not least, create a Video Chat group call so that all of your friends and/or family can join in on the fun! Everyone should be watching and painting along with the same tutorial!
