Although I’m not much of an outdoor gal or “camper” myself {my husband proudly fills that role in our family} I did do this fun “indoor” craft with my son recently. It first started with inspiration from the Christmas song “Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire” and it evolved to this Tissue Paper Campfire Kid Craft. Eventually the craft evolved even more and I was able to offer you all the FREE printable template, so you could do it at home too!

Using the vibrant colors of orange & yellow tissue paper – I was able to pull together a simple afternoon craft, that my son absolutely loved. If you want to do the same, all you need to do is download the file, print it and follow our step-by-step tutorial. It may be “hot” but it’s super easy!

Supplies:

* Free Printable Template {download HERE}
* Orange & Yellow Tissue Paper
* Glue
* Scissors
* White Cardstock/Color Printer
* Pencil

Directions:

* First download and print the Campfire Printable on white cardstock.
* Cut or tear your tissue paper into small squares.
* Using the end of a pencil, take each square of tissue paper and “bunch” it. {see picture for example}
* Now put a good amount of glue on the red triangle of the printable. Then press the “bunched” tissue paper onto the glue. Repeat, until the red triangle is completely covered and resembles a fire.
* Once your Tissue Paper Campfire is done, set aside to let it dry completely. Then display proudly!
