Directions:

  • First things first – print our FREE “tent shape” printable listed above. You only need one printable and this will be your “stencil” for you to make the tent shape as many times as you like. You can use this piece over and over again, so be sure to save it after you are done crafting.
  • Go ahead and trim out the triangle shape in the printable, as well as cutting along the provided line in it.
  • Discard excess paper.
  • Next lay your triangle shape that you just made, on the back of your scrapbook paper.
  • Use a pen or pencil to trace around the paper shape.
  • Remove the paper stencil and use your scissors to trim out the triangle design, as well as cutting up the center, just like the original tent shape. Set it aside.
  • Grab a black piece of paper and your picture.
  • Trim down the picture if need be and glue it down towards the bottom/center of the black paper. You can lay the tent piece on top of the paper to get a good eye for it.
  • Now grab your scrapbook paper piece and fold up the flaps slightly on the “tent” so your picture will be peeking through.
  • Glue the paper tent on top of the black paper.
  • Finally the best part! You are going to add star stickers, some hand-cut out trees, a paper campfire – whatever your crafty heart designs to set the scene. Use our pictures for inspiration!
  • When done – just display it for all to see! Don’t forget to sign your name and date on the back so you remember when you created it!

Craft Activity Safety Guidelines:

Always Ensure Adult Supervision - Young children should be supervised at all times when engaging in craft activities. This is essential to keep them safe and ensure materials are used correctly. Use Age-Appropriate Supplies - Choose craft supplies that are suitable for your child’s age. Check labels for recommendations and avoid items with small parts or sharp edges for younger children. Modify as Needed - Feel free to adapt materials or steps to meet your child's abilities and safety needs. For example, substitute scissors with safety scissors if necessary. Keep an Eye on Allergies - Be mindful of potential allergens in craft materials like glue, paint, or certain fabrics. Opt for non-toxic and hypoallergenic options whenever possible. Organize and Secure Supplies - Keep all craft tools and materials organized. Store sharp objects, small parts, and potentially hazardous items out of reach when not in use. Following these guidelines will ensure that crafts remain fun, creative, and, most importantly, safe for everyone involved!
