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!

Great Corona19 quarantine tips roundup! #TrafficJamWeekend
These sound so fun, especially since I’ll likely stay in lockdown mode for a while longer – and I’m already coming up on 3 months!
We gotta stay busy! Thanks so much for linking up with me at my #UnlimitedMonthlyLinkParty 12, open May 1 to 26. All party entries shared if social media buttons installed.
These are some great ideas! Definitely will be trying some of these!
Great tips! As we head into the rainy and colder season, it’s great to have new ideas on things to help us get through the boredom of pandemic life. Thanks for sharing.
