Round Up: Girls' Camp Crafts

For the past couple of weeks, I have had camp crafts, long hikes, summer breezes, canoeing and swimming, and planning craziness on the brain.

Somehow, I managed to become Camp Director for our Girls' Camp this year {it's a LDS aka Mormon church thing}. Now, I loved Girls' Camp, but I had no idea how much work went into it every year {including time, money, talents, creativity, ideas, planning, etc, etc, etc}.

Anyway, one of my duties is to plan the crafts. I love crafting, but these crafts have to be on the more simple side. That is, we won't have a sewing machine; we can't really spend hours and hours working on them {well....I guess they actually could; the girls have quite a bit of free time}; they can't cost too much; and most of all, they have to be fun!


So after much searching, I've compiled a round up of 20 great Girls' Camp crafts. Or just simple and fun crafts you can do with your kids or yourself.

















Rolled Fabric Flowers {for headbands, hair clips, etc}



Button Bracelet



Button Rings



Lantern
{and the wire handle tutorial link as well}




 Fabric-wrapped Pens
{blogger said to make these pens, follow the same tutorial listed above,
but to wrap the fabric around the pens instead of a hair band}


Soda Pop Bracelets


Charm Bracelets


 Paper Bag Journals


Heart Pattern Friendship Bracelet
 {or you can check out these tutorials or this one or even this one
{the last one is a bit of a different take on it}


Duct Tape Wallets


 Ribbon Bracelets


Super Cute Pinwheels


Lace Crowns
 


Tile Coaster

Whew! That was a lot more work than I thought! But I think there are a lot of great ideas here {thanks to other crafty and creative bloggers}. Hope you find something you enjoy!

UPDATE: I found a couple more good ones, 
so I'm throwing them in here too
