Beach Camper Craft Supplies:

* Large Paper Plate {one paper plate makes TWO beach camper crafts}
* Basic Craft Scissors
* Sharpie Markers {think water/beach colors}
* Gray Colored Cardstock
* Black Colored Cardstock
* Two Different Colors of Cardstock {your choice!}
* Glue Stick or School Glue
* Beach Themed Stickers
* Tye-Dye Pom Pom RIbbon Garland {I found this one at Walmart recently!}
* Hand-Held Office Stapler
* Embellishments like glitter glue, rhinestones etc.

Directions:

* First cut your large paper plate in half. Straight up the center!
* Reserve one half for today’s beach camper craft and save the other for a rainy day!
* Now grab your choice of colors in sharpie markers.
* Draw TWO straight lines across the paper plate. This just give it more of a camper look.
* Set aside the paper plate.
* Now grab all your cardstock paper sheets and scissors.
* Out of the black cardstock cut out a small circular wheel, as well as a small, thin rectangle for the “hitch” the camper.
* Out of the gray cardstock cut out a small window.
* Out of your choice of color, cut out a door shape.
* Out of the remaining choice of color, cut out a surf board shape.
* Use your choice of colored sharpie marker to draw on lines on the surf board and give it dimension.
* Use the black sharpie marker to draw a small door knob on the paper door piece you just made.
* Now glue ALL your paper pieces {besides the surf board} to the paper plate half from earlier.
* To finish off the Paper Plate Summer Camper kid craft – add some small beach themed stickers {I had some Hawaiian flowers in my stash} and staple the paper surf board to the top of the decorated paper plate piece.
* At this point in time you can also add your pom pom “garland” for some party flair!
* Add other embellishments to really give it that beach-y look.
* Then display proudly!
