Hi, I’m Liz!
I’ve always loved creating and bringing people together. After years of crafting just for fun, I decided to turn that passion into something bigger — The Maker Parties.
Unlike traditional paint-and-sip nights or cookie-cutter craft kits, most of our projects are wood-based designs that I custom cut on my laser machine. That means your guests get to paint, stain, and personalize something truly unique — from signs and seasonal décor to fun party projects you’ll actually want to display at home.
Think of me as your party partner: I bring the supplies, ideas, and guidance, and you and your guests get to relax, laugh, and create.
Whether it’s a kids’ birthday, ladies’ night, team-building event, or holiday gathering, my goal is simple: make it easy for you to host a memorable, hands-on experience without the stress of planning and prep.
You don’t have to be “artsy” to enjoy it — I make sure everyone walks away proud of what they’ve made.
Let’s make something amazing together!
At The Maker Parties, I’m passionate about bringing people together through creativity, and I love serving communities across Lake County and McHenry County, Illinois, as well as nearby southeastern Wisconsin. Families in Libertyville, Vernon Hills, Mundelein, Gurnee, Lake Zurich, and Grayslake enjoy stress-free celebrations when I bring the party to them, while groups in Crystal Lake, McHenry, Woodstock, Cary, and Huntley love how easy it is to host a memorable craft event. I also happily travel to Wisconsin towns like Lake Geneva, Twin Lakes, and Pleasant Prairie, making it simple for anyone searching for mobile craft parties, creative birthday activities, or DIY party ideas near me to celebrate in style.
