As you are reading this, I am braving the wild as a youth camp counselor. I don't know what scares me more, sleeping in a tent or being responsible for a group of girls. I am working with an amazing group of women, though, so it should be fine....However, my idea of camping includes a hotel and jetted tub. I guess I'll have to rough it.
One of my assignments was to be in charge of several camp crafts.
This is what I came up with:
Boondoggle key chain with a dog tag engraved with our Camp Theme.
You can learn how to make boondoggles
here.
I thought these pop top bracelets were darling. Ladybug and I had fun "practicing". You can see some tutorials here. I want to make more. They are just fun! I wore mine to work one day and got so many compliments? Really? Pop tops? There are some great videos on YouTube. I found
this one helpful.
Even if you aren't a camp counselor, these are fun summer crafts that you may want to try on one of those long, hot days of summer. Definitely a summer boredom buster!

I love the pop top bracelets. They look really cool! I'm not a huge fan of girls' camp as an adult. I loved it as a youth though!
ReplyDeleteGood for you! I like my kids alright, but a week with someone else's kids? I guess teens are cool. :) I have seen those soda tab bracelets. Super cute!!
ReplyDeleteI can't help thinking of Napoleon Dynamite. How fun. Wish I were there, just in a nice bed though.
