Paper Plate Holiday Camper Craft
I’ll say it over and over again, until I’m blue in the face. I really do strive to come up with the kids craft designs that no one has done before.
There’s only so many snowmen and Santa crafts you can make from paper plates & share on the internet. Just saying! Glued To My Crafts is the place to be if you are looking for unique ideas!
On that note, if only I could show you ALL the crafty designs that go through my head daily. Sometimes it looks like someone threw up confetti in my head but other days are magical. Today is MAGICAL!
I already shared with my lovely readers this morning my tutorial for a Christmas mail truck from popsicle sticks and right now I’m adding MY VERSION of a Christmas camper made from a simple paper plate, to the website archives!
Yup. This holiday themed camper is made from basic paper plate. From there, all you need is some sharpie markers and colored cardstock paper. That’s it! Super simple to make and gender neutral so boys & girls will love recreating it this holiday season!
So stop what you are doing and add this to your crafty to-do list! In fact – make sure you bookmark or “pin” this very post right now! Then check out the full paper plate Christmas camper with tree on top tutorial below and get ready for a fun & extra memorable holiday season!
