Craft: Make a Fake Campfire!

Want that ‘campfire’ feel with a totally safe, not-hot and easy-to-make craft? You’ve come to the right place!

 

What you need:
Red, yellow and orange tissue paper squares

Scissors

Three paper towel tubes

Brown paint
Paintbrush

Craft glue

 

What you do:

1.       Cut each paper towel tube in half.

2.       Paint each paper towel tube brown. These are your ‘logs’.

3.       Leave your tubes to dry.

4.       Layer the tissue paper squares on top of each other. Put a drop of white glue in the middle of the bottom square and put another on top of it. Continue doing this until you’ve got a pile of tissue paper pieces. Let it dry.

5.       Scrunch the pieces up to make them look like fire.

Arrange your logs with the fire on top and prepare to roast a pretend marshmallow!

    Speaking of ghost stories, does any one have a really scary one? I can’t find one scary enough to frighten me. :(

    It could be better if you hide a flashlight or two in the tissue so it could glow, but I haven’t tried it so I don’t know if itcould work

    Hi Granola!! I have an idea!! For the “wood” you could use real sticks or cinnamon sticks! *gasp* I have an idea for the tent!! Put some ductape in rows on a piece of cardboard.
    OPTIONAL! if you don’t wanna use ductape you can use fabric. Hang the tent up by using a piece of string!

    It really helps if there’s a picture. But it sounds fun, I love pretending! But a real fire is still better!
