If you’re planning a kid’s camp out party this summer, and you’re looking for easy DIY camp out party decorating ideas, we have some to share with you! Since we’ve been talking quite a bit about camping and camp out parties I thought I’d share some quick and easy party decorating ideas.
Camp Bunting Banner
Supplies needed:
Camp themed scrapbook paper
Twine
Peel and stick letters
Glue
Scissors
Head to your local craft store for some camp themed scrapbook paper. We found quite an assortment at Hobby Lobby.
Directions:
1. Cut the scrapbook paper into triangles. They should each be somewhat even to each other.
2. Line your triangles up in a row. You will need one for each letter in CAMP and for each letter of the child’s name. It is also helpful to cut out a few extra.
3. Peel and stick your letters to the triangle (one per triangle) so they read CAMP and CHILD’s NAME. For example, CAMP DINO, the nickname of our birthday boy.
4. Use your glue or tape to secure the triangles in order to some twine. We created one string of banner with the words CAMP and one with the child’s name.
Hang your camp themed bunting banner at the entrance of your party to welcome your guests to camp!
Camping Centerpieces
Create your own camping themed centerpieces that are sure to dress up your tables for less.
Supplies needed:
Camp themed scrapbook paper
Red bandana or natural wood themed scrapbook paper
Canning jars
Assorted sticks and twigs
Twine
Peel and stick letters
Scissors and glue
Directions:
1. Begin by cutting a strip of camp themed scrapbook paper to fit around the canning jar. Cut to fit and secure with glue.
2. Peel and stick the first letter of the child’s name to the front of the jar.
3. Wrap a piece of twine around the jar and tie into a bow.
4. Fill the jar with assorted sticks and twigs. (FREE!)
5. Create a mini bunting banner by cutting a few small triangles and gluing them to twine. Hang the bunting from the sticks now resting in your jar.
6. Place the jar on a sheet of bandana or distressed wood scrapbook paper.
As you can see, the finished product ties together nicely to create a festive and frugal camping themed centerpiece.
