Popsicle Stick Campfire – Summer Kids Craft

With the change of hot summer weather just around the corner, I have yet ANOTHER handprint keepsake idea for you all today on Glued To My Crafts and this one pays tribute to those campfires we will all be sitting around soon.

It’s the perfect idea for summer/bible camps, vacation keepsakes or even just to remember the best summer EVER. And since you already have the most important part of making this keepsake – a hand – it’s going to be a cinch for you to pull it together!
