Campfire Craft Using Chalk

I just can’t stop with the chalk art craft ideas! Every time I think I’m going to retire my box of chalk into my craft stash, I come up with ANOTHER idea to share with you all on Glued To My Crafts.

This time my latest “chalk on paper” craft idea, is for the summer and camping season we are currently in. Today we are building our own campfires that can be brought indoors with no problems. You can also pair this idea with some indoor s’mores treats afterwards, to really tie it all together.

To complete our super fun campfire craft, you will only need a few pieces of chalk, dark colored construction paper and a popsicle stick with cotton balls for the smore element. That’s it! We are talking CENTS to complete it!

Did I mention even adults can participate on this one?! Plus no two campfire craft creations will be the same {just like the real deal!}

So what are we waiting for?! All the details can be found below. Although I don’t have a free printable like my past chalk art tutorials, this one is really easy to start on your own and complete just as fast. Promise!

So don’t let the crafty “fire” burn out on this one. Bookmark this very post and later this week, make some colorful “one-of-a-kind” chalk art campfires with your child. Then show off those creations, with pride, with us! We love seeing those pics so tag them with #gluedtomycrafts in the description for us to see!

Happy crafting, my dear friends! I can’t wait to see your paper campfire creations! Be sure to tag us on Facebook or Instagram if you decide to give this tutorial a try today!
