Girl's Camp 'trading card' box template

Girl's Camp Card box for memories/handouts, etc.

     Have the girls write their names and wards on the box, then cut out and assemble the boxes at craft time or on the first day of camp:

Included with this template with the 2012 youth theme is sizes for leaders to create their own messages to give out.  Notes from stake/ward leaders and girls can also fit inside this box, pictures can be cut to size.  Or can be used for trading cards.  Multiple uses . . . like earning camp requirements =)  Attach a charm or bead to a card, etc.

Template found at www.jackshandsjillsheart.com - only need to purchase it once, then print as many as you need.  Do not redistribute or share original work that is purchased from this site - thanks!

What can you do with a TP roll?

mod podge bracelets with cut outs from magazines =)

I didn't have the girls add beads/charms to theirs - but they are cute without too.

I cut each toilet paper roll into thirds and then slit out places for the ribbon to go through. Cut out images from magazines and mod podged it on - let it dry. Punch holes for the jump rings to hold charms or beads. I hot glued my ribbon and then tied it in a knot - does look cute with just a bow too. You could also finish the inside by mod podging another strip of paper on it.

Jean Flower Corsage

We made these at Girl's Camp too:

You can wear them as a corsage, in your hair, on a bracelet - possibilities are endless:
Found the instructions here.

Lantern Jars

One of the girl's camp crafts we made this year:

Directions found here.

I used baby food jars so that part was free.

One of the YCL's, Clara, drew templates of hearts, flowers, stars, etc. and the girls traced the patterns out and cut them out of contact paper.

YCL key chains

The YCL's at Girl's Camp got to have their own craft that the other years didn't get to make:

Everyone's charms were the same, but the beads and background to the seahorses were different.

Dangling Charms, camp craft

Maybe I will let the 1st-3rd years make charms for their purses/scripture bags/backpacks and the YCL's can make key chains since they're driving (or soon). The 4th years typically don't make crafts because of their big hike requirement.

I scanned my new purse so I could get the color match for my tile pendant on the computer. I put the image on both sides so when it's flipped over, you can still see the cuteness. I covered the sides of the tile with ribbon & I used a bead as a bail and then an eye pin through it.

What are a few good sayings I could use on the tiles - like 1-4 words? And don't say 'Team Jacob' - LoL I'm thinking of having images or sayings for the girls to pick from once at camp.

Dangling Keychains

Trying to come up with inexpensive ideas for crafts because that's what I'll be doing at Girl's Camp this year. Well, crafts, quilts and the slideshow! I couldn't find my key chain rings at the moment, but this is the idea:

After putting these key chains together, I think the beading part would be too tricky ;) Just having enough tools and giving instructions to 30 girls at once might give me a headache - LoL

The one right above is some things I adore: seahorses, volleyball, flowers and pink and of course I love Jonathan!

I have lots of cute images to put on scrabble tiles (glaze drops for the tops of scrabble tiles found here) . . . maybe beads on safety pins with the scrabble tiles would work?
