Since our theme for Girl’s Camp is Ruby Slippers, I wanted to give the girls a new red scripture marking pencil. The pencils needed a little pizazz 🙂 I found this red glitter twill tape at JoAnn’s. (I wanted to use Washi tape, but it didn’t look good on the red pencil. You could also use any kind of ribbon.) I hot glued it to the pencil then trimmed it to look like a little flag. This would be a cute idea for decorating pencils for a party favor or a back to school gift for a teacher.
Wizard of Oz Camp Lanyards
I made these little fabric/felt heart pins to go on the lanyards.
The third person Dorothy meets is the lion who needs courage. We are using the talk, May You Have Courage by Thomas S. Monson. “My earnest prayer is that you will have the courage required to refrain from judging others, the courage to be chaste and virtuous, and the courage to stand firm for truth and righteousness.”
I made these little badges of courage to pin on the lanyards.
I glued a pin to the back of these brightly colored flowers.
Girl’s Camp
I had a lot of fun getting ready for Girl’s Camp. I made these little first-aid zipper pouches for the girls to put their first-aid kits.
Arise and Shine laynards. To make the lanyard, I just used 2 1/2″ strip of fabric. Press it in half then press the sides in & fold over (like double fold bias tape.) Top stitch and put a clasp on the end. They were fun to make!
On of our girls had her birthday at camp. I made this little birthday badge for her to wear all day so everyone would say happy birthday to her!
I made these flower headbands for the girls. It looked cute when we all had them in our hair.
There were a few other things I made that I forgot to take pictures of. Each day we gave the girls candy in their mail boxes: DOTS disciples of the Savior, You’re a Sweet Heart sweetarts, and Saver Life Life Savers.
Girl’s Camp T-Shirts
The First Year Girls going to camp got together and we made these shirts. The theme is Arise & Shine. We are using sunshine to represent the 1st year girls. The girls drew the shapes on Heat Bond, then ironed it to the fabric, cut it out, and ironed it on their shirts. I sewed around all the shapes with grey thread. Then we stenciled the word Shine in grey paint! Cute!
