Girls Camp...The Craft Queens

This was the second year I was able to go up to our stake's Girls Camp as an Assistant Craft Lady (seriously, that's is what the High Council member called it when he gave me the assignment). I love going!!!

Here is the craft I was in charge of. Many of you might recognize it. I am good at copying others creative ideas.


It is a block of wood, that you paint. Then you decoupage on a strip of cute paper with what ever message you want on it. You add a sheet of metal to the slot in the wood block. Add a decorated wood disk to a magnet. Voile, a cute picture frame.

JR was so sweet and used his work connections to have all the sheets of metal laser cut for me. He also went over to a friend in the ward's and they cut all the wood blocks. I love you, Honey. You saved me so much work.

Here are my fellow Craft Ladies: Jan H. (the Head Craft Lady), me, and Kat T.

The beauty queen sashes are another craft. (It is decorated. It is really cute) After all, we are Daughters of a King.

Some ladies from my ward are making the cutest bags out of men's tank tops.

You take the tank top, preferable no seams and no ribbing, and lay it flat on its side with the arm holes lined up. Then you cut out fabric designs. Iron it to the shirt using Heat N Bond. Then you use the seam ripper to open a small hole in the shirt's hem and run a ribbon through it. Scrunch it up tight to gather the bottom and tie a knot. You can add Ric rack around the arm holes for decoration. Put your one arm through the arm hole. Bam, you are styling a one of a kind bag you created.

FYI, we also made picture frames with words created from bent wire. Sorry, no pics.

I can hardly wait to see what we come up with next year.
