The Craft Directions:
* Please make sure you have a good working area that can get dirty because paint will squeeze out of the sides of this craft!!!
* First fold your paper plate, straight in half {one per campfire craft you want to make today.}
* Unfold and squirt a few squiggles of red, orange, yellow and brown colored Tulip puffy paint on one side of the folded paper plate {I like the Tulip Puffy Paint for this particular step since it’s in a nice controlled squirt bottle} Be sure to keep the paint inside the paper plate and not place too much down either.
* Once the paint is down, go ahead and fold up/squish your paper plate together again.
* Be sure to rub your hand all over the folded paper plate piece, so the paint will cover the inside nicely and make an even marbled look {paint WILL more than likely squeeze out the sides, so be sure to pay attention to that and clean up with baby wipes!}
* Now carefully unfold your piece to reveal your “marbled campfire” design inside.
* If desired, sprinkle some loose craft glitter/rhinestones on top of the wet paint, to create more texture and sparkle.
* To finish the Paper Plate Marbled Campfire – cut out a TWO long rectangle “logs” from your brown cardstock paper.
* Go ahead and staple those two pieces {in a crossed design} onto the paper plate.
* Then step aside your decorated paper plate piece to allow it to dry completely.
* When ready – display it proudly for ALL to see and come share pictures with us if you can! #gluedtomycrafts
