Value Crystals

These are fun to create. The beads and the crystals were purchased from Walmart. All you need to do is thread the wire through the top of the crystal. Crimp the wire with a crimping bead. Thread value color beads on the wire and add a crimping bead at the top.

Homemade Lip Gloss

This is a lot of fun. You will probably need to make them before camp. This is a perfect handout when you are talking to the young women about the importance of lifting other up with the kind words that come out of their mouths.

Lip Gloss
Materials Needed:
Paraffin wax
Coconut oil
Petroleum jelly
Candy melts (to color the gloss and make it taste sweet)
Oil-based candy flavoring (if you want a special flavor)
Grater
Wax paper
Ziploc bag
Small container (recycle old makeup containers or 35mm film containers, or look in stores that carry beads, crafts, or fishing tackle)

Instructions:Grate some paraffin wax onto wax paper. Measure 1/4 teaspoon grated wax into the plastic bag. Add 1 teaspoon coconut oil, 1 teaspoon petroleum jelly, and 1 candy melt. Add 1/8 teaspoon oil-based candy flavoring if you like.
Seal the bag and carefully put it in a bowl of hot tap water to melt ingredients, about 3-5 minutes.

"5 gallon" seat

Decorate a 5 gallon bucket (you can find orange ones at Home Depot). Put padding on one side of the lid. Cover with material. You can use the inside of it for storage such as camp books, song books, crafts, and/or snacks. Also, use it as a chair. This is perfect for inside of the cabins.
