Directions:
- First things first – print out the blank campfire printable, listed above, on a single sheet of white cardstock paper. You only need ONE print per campfire craft.
- Now that you have it printed out, use a marker or crayon to color in the two “logs” in the design.
- Next up – squirt the THREE different colored Tulip puffy craft paints on your small paper plate.
- Now take your fork, which is now your paint brush, to make “flames” all over the fire design on your printable.
- When ready, shake some loose craft glitter on top of the wet paint for some dimension and extra sparkle. Go ahead and shake off the excess when done.
- Finally – the last step of this fork painted fire craft is to glue on the “smores” by gluing down the jumbo popsicle stick {the roasting fork} and the cotton ball {marshmallow} as well.
- When done decorating the paper, set it aside to let it dry completely before displaying proudly!
