Paper Plate Bug Camper Craft Idea For Kids
BEEP BEEP! We are driving by with ANOTHER first-seen-here craft idea for GTMC!
We are building off of our now VIRAL paper plate Christmas camper tutorial and hoping that everyone will LOVE this latest paper plate vintage caravan craft idea as much as we do!
With our latest tutorial, we want YOU to turn the simplest material into something you would have never imagined before! As you can tell from the title of this very post, this Valentine’s Day holiday themed camper is made from basic, inexpensive paper plate. Probably something you already have on hand if you have been a long time follower of ours.
From there, all you need is a black Sharpie marker, paint crayons and colored cardstock. That’s it! Super simple to make and great for boys & girls of all ages, to recreate this lovestruck season. Plus you can swap out a few of the elements and colors to fit what you have on hand or want to use up {maybe use up some leftover red colored supplies from Christmas!}
So enough chit chat from me! Your whole family is going to love this one. So stop what you are doing and add this to your crafty to-do list right now!
In fact – make sure you bookmark or “pin” this very post, so you have no excuse not to make it happen! Then check out the full paper plate Valentine camper tutorial below and get ready for a fun & extra memorable holiday season!
