Two Wooden Hearts

submitted by Michelle

These were fun to make. All you need is two different size hearts, acrylic paint, wood glue, raffia, dried flowers, ribbon and some wire. Paint the hearts, glue them together. Add the ribbon and flowers and it is finished. The young women now have a wall hanging to remind them of their camp theme.

Stitch the young women's theme, mutual theme, camp theme, a quote on fabric.
An idea is to stitch them at camp and then after camp,
finish making the wall hangings during mutual night.

Kool-Aid Jammers Bag

This is made with 12 Kool-Aid Jammers packages. They are machine zig-zagged together (4 on the front, 4 on the back and two on each side). The grosgrain ribbon is also zig-zagged onto the bag. This would be a fun pre-camp clinic--teaching the girls how to sew with a sewing machine.

Binoculars

These are made out of two empty toliet paper rolls. Then, covered with scrapbook paper and glued together. A piece of twine attaches the card to binoculars.

The card reads:

"Life gives to all a choice. You can satisfy yourself with mediocrity if you wish. You can be common, ordinary, dull, colorless; or you can channel your life so that it will be clean, vibrant, progressive, useful, colorful, rich.

You can soil your record, defile your soul, trample underfoot virtue, honor and goodness, and thus forfeit exaltation in the kingdom of God. Or you can be righteous, commanding the respect and admiration of your associates in all walks of life, and enjoying the love of the Lord. Your destiny is in your hands and your all important decisions are your own to make." President Spencer W. Kimball

LOOK to the future and FOCUS on the consequences of your decisions...it is all up to YOU!

Tile Memo Board

Tile Memo Board

I purchased the tiles at Home Depot (you can get them from Lowe's too). Stickers and Acrylic Sealer were purchased from Roberts.

Put the stickers on the tile. Then, cover the center of the tile (where you would want to write) with paper and then, spray the acrylic sealer over the tile. It will take a little while to dry. The only difficult thing was keeping the dirt off of the tile until it is completely dried.

Here are the pictures of the Jeans Pockets that we used as our mail system last year. We just hung these on clotheslines with clothes pins.

Pillow

This year we are making pillows for the girls to keep on their beds for the same purpose. We thought about making them into a wall hanging, but there is no place to hang them in the cabins.
