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!

So what are you waiting for? Grab those supplies and get to work on making your special Handprint Popsicle Stick Campfire piece with your child today!

Happy crafting my friends!!! Don’t forget to share a picture of your finished campfire made from popsicle sticks, on our Facebook page or tag us on Instagram to see them! #gluedtomycrafts

Pretend Campfire Craft Supplies:

* Red Colored Cardstock
* Marker or Pencil
* Basic Craft Scissors
* Jumbo Popsicle Sticks {two per campfire craft}
* Brown Craft Paint
* Foam Paint Brush

Directions:

* First is the handprint that looks like a “campfire flame.” Simply trace your child’s hand on your cardstock and then trim it out with the scissors.
* Next add a few small squares of orange and yellow tissue paper on top of the handprint, to give it some dimension and the look of flames.
* Set aside.
* Next grab your brown paint and squirt some on the paper plate.
* Use the paint brush to paint TWO jumbo popsicle sticks for the “logs” of the craft.
* Set aside to let them dry completely.
* To finish the Handprint Popsicle Stick Campfire – glue your two painted popsicle sticks together to look like logs and finish off by gluing the handprint to the back.
* Then let it all dry completely before displaying proudly!
