Halloween Treat Bags

With Halloween approaching, I thought I would make a fun printable!  So let's get started!

What you need:

• Printed treat bags
• Colored Version
• Black & White Version
• Ribbon or string
• Glue or Tape (I used both)
• Scissors
• Ruler

The first thing you will need to do is print your treat bags!  I decided this time to print the black and white version on colored paper, but you can print and color any version you wish.

Now you need to cut out your templates.  I chose to add a bit of color to some of the bags, like making the ghosts white and adding some silver on the witch's hats.

  

After cutting out the template, I used a ruler and scissors to score the edges, to make it easier to bend the paper.  This will also give smoother fold marks.

You will need to carefully score the four small tabs on tab, so the ribbon/string can poke through it.

I cut two 6 inch pieces of string for my handles.  You need two for each bag.

I started by pulling the string through carefully through the slits we made.

I used a little glue to hold down the strings and then taped them to the inside.

Next take all four of the top tabs and fold them down.  You can just use tape or glue.  I did both because I wanted them to last a while.  This is the inside of the bag, so you won't be seeing it anyways.

Now you want to take the small tab right side putting some glue on it or using tape, and connect it to the left side.  Then you need to fold up your bottom pieces and you have a fun Halloween Treat bag!

I had fun making these because they were quick and easy.

You can even add some of your favorite doll treats for some added trick or treat fun!

I hope you enjoyed and if you have any questions leave a comment!

Have a wonderday!

First Aid Kit!

Hello everyone!  I am here with another Camp It Up! post.  Now when you are camping, sometimes you get cut or trip on that branch you saw, but fell anyways.  So for those moments you will need to bring along your first aid kit!

I was thinking about what type of container I wanted to store my first aid kit in, and as I was looking through my box of random odds and ends I keep from around the house, I found an old floss container.

I took out the piece inside that held the floss.  If you do this, I would get a parent's help because of sharp objects.

I cut out the First Aid Kit label from the printable and taped it onto the container.

Now for our first aid supplies!  Most of a supplies I've made were made with printables I have available at the end of post!

I think the number one supply you will need is bandaids!  On the printable all you will need to do is cut them out and fold them over.  I coated them with clear package tape and done!

Here are some antiseptic cleaning wipes (alcohol wipes basically).  These are for when you have a cut and need to clean it.  I stuffed a small piece of foam inside to make it kind of squishy like the real packs are.  I used clear packing tape to make them shiny.

Next is a cold compress.  When your doll falls down and gets sprain, you need something cold to put on her ankle.  A cold compress is a pack that when you crush it it becomes cold.  I stuffed some cotton from a cotton ball inside to make it bulky.  I then used clear packing tape to hold it all together.

Now we have some Sanitizing hands wipes.  As before I put a piece of foam inside to give it the feel of something is inside.  And covered it with clear packing tape.

Next I made this small sunscreen bottle.  I rolled up some paper loosely and glued the ends together.  I then put some glue in one end and squished it.  I put some foam to make the cap.  I painted it, glued the label on, and coated it in Modpodge (you can use any clear glue).

I decided to add some bug spray to my first aid kit from my own experience of having those pesky bugs always hanging around me.  I started rolling up some paper around a toothpick and then about halfway through, I cut a shorter piece of paper and kept rolling it all up.  I glued a small piece of foam on the top for the nozzle.  I painted, glued on the label, and put on some Modpodge.

As I was looking at a few first aid kit lists, I found a few said lip balm.  So I rolled up paper around a toothpick and then painted the tiny rolled up paper tube.  I glued on the tiny label and painted it with Modpodge.

Finally, I decided to make a toothbrush and toothpaste.  I made the toothpaste container the same as the sunscreen bottle.  I just did it with a small scale.  The toothbrush was inspired by MyFroggyStuff's tutorial, but I think I did it a bit different.  I just cut some small foam pieces and glued them on a small popsicle stick, which I cut because it was too big.

And there we have it!  A first aid kit fit for your dolls.  The printable is located here:

Colored version
Black and white version

I, once again, gave you both options if you would like print the colored version I have or you can color your own!  If you have any questions just let ask me in the comments below.

Next I have a fun backpack haul for camping and a few crafts to go inside!  Have a wonderday!

Gonna Eat This Camping Trip!: Part 3

And here we have part three of our Gonna Eat This Camping Trip!  This page is more the non-traditional camping foods, but can pass for camping foods or just inside your kitchen!

Snacks

Animal Crackers

I originally wasn't going to make these, but I thought it was fun idea.  As I made the other boxes before, I colored the template, and cut it roughly around the edges.  I glued it onto paper board and then cut along the lines.  I scored the edges and then hot glued them together.  As before I coated it with a few coats of Mod-podge (or clear glue).

Chips

Making the chip bag was fun!  I colored the template and then coated the image with tape, but I didn't put tape on the tab.  I cut out the image and then glued the bag together.  I glued one of the open sides together.

Now comes to filling it to look like there are chips inside.  You can add whatever you want inside, scrap fabric, paper, or I added some polyfil stuffing.  I then glued the remaining side together.  It works great because it squishes down.

(On the snack templates I added the hot dog package too)

Hot Cocoa

One of my favorite things to eat on a camping trip is hot cocoa on those chilly mornings.

The box making is exactly as I stated before with the other boxes.

Inside of the box you will need hot cocoa packets!  I provided to different templates with just 2 packets and another with 6.  I wanted more, but I figured some would want less.

I colored, covered in clear tape, and cut out the templates.  I glued two of the sides together, and then put it just a tiny bit of filling.  I made sure to push it all the way to the bottom.  I then glued the top shut.  And I have six tiny cocoa packets.

Cereal & Milk

And yet again, I used the same technique as before with making boxes.  The only difference was that I glued the tops shut.  I wasn't going to put any cereal inside of them.  I tried to make them smaller, like the travel sizes they have, but they would have been really small, so I just made them sort of smaller than a bit box would have been.

I used MyFroggyStuff's tutorial for making these small milk containers.

Grilled Foods

Next we are going to make some grilled food.  I made parts for hamburgers and hot dogs.

Hot Dogs & Buns

Here are the hot dogs and buns!  For the hot dogs I cut them out of the thick foam and painted them.  I coated them in Mod-podge as well.  I didn't add the grill marks on the ones that went in the package because they wouldn't have been grilled yet.

I colored the template and cut it out.  I layered two rows of four hot dogs (gluing them together) and wrapped them with some plastic.  I taped the edges shut and you have a package of hot dogs!

To make the hot dogs, I cut some buns out of tan foam and glued the hot dogs inside of them.  I tried other glues, but the only one that actually stuck was the hot glue.

Hamburgers & Buns

I made a package of cheese slices and hamburger patties.  I would like to add a label onto the uncooked hamburger patties, but I didn't quite get that far.  I wrapped both in some plastic.

The hamburgers are made from foam!  I cut circles out of foam for the cooked patties (brown) and buns (tan), and cut squares out of thin yellow foam.  I cut out two circles for the top bun, one was smaller than the other.  I hot glued them all together and there we go!

That is what I have created for my doll camp food!  I hope to start making more food to fill a kitchen soon!  Do you have any ideas?  Any more camp food you take with you on a trip?

Have a wonderday!

Gonna Eat This Camping Trip!: Part 2

Alright alright, the big topic I have right now is FOOD!  When going camping there are a few supplies you will always need to take with you.  When my family goes camping we make a list of what we need and go on a shopping trip to buy all sorts of goodies to take with us.  It was always one of my favorite parts.

I really don't have any food for my doll, so I decided to start with some of the staple things I figured I would want on a camping trip.  I even have some PDFs for you if you want to make some of the same things!  I will provide a colored version, along with an outlined version if you want to color them yourself.

I had a ton of fun with these and I will try to give you the tips and tricks I learned while putting some of them together!  And this is part one of two!  I made so much food I thought I would separate it into two posts!

Chocolate Bars

Colored PDF Version / Outlined PDF Version

No camping trip is complete with out some yummy chocolate bars to make some s-mores!  As you can see I chose to print the outlined version and color them myself.  I love to color and didn't have colored ink, so it worked, but if you want to use the colored version go on ahead!

I made these chocolate bars by putting a layer of clear tape over the pictures and cutting them out.  I then got some tin foil and wrapped it around a piece of dark brown foam.  I put the foil wrapped foam inside of the cover and glued it shut.  You could always tape it as well, in case you want to open later.

Graham Crackers

Here is the Graham crackers box.  I colored the template and then cut it out.  I glued it onto the paperboard and let the glue dry completely before cutting it.  I scored the edges on the inside where I was going to bend them, and then hot glued the sides together.  I then coated the entire little box in Mod-Podge to make it stronger.  I did probably three or four coats, I wanted mine to stay around for a while.

I made some paper version of graham crackers too!  For the bigger blocks of graham crackers, I started by coloring the template, and then coated it with clear tape (I found some at the dollar store!).  When taping I tried to stay clear of the small tabs.  I cut out the templates and then glued them together.  For the small single pieces, I colored, taped, and then cut out the templates.  I simply glued them together.  Easy graham crackers!

Marshmallows

This was fun!  I had been trying to figure out what to make the marshmallows out of, and then I realized I had some thick white foam and thought it would be perfect.

I cut out several squares and glued two of them together.  I put some books on top of them to make sure they glued together and stuck well.  After they were dry, I just cut around the edges and made them look more circular.

To make the bag, I used the bag pattern and cut out a piece of plastic bag (Ziploc or any brand).  I folded the bag in half and taped it.  I had it so the taped edge was in the bag and taped one of the sides.  I added the marshmallows I made and taped the other side closed.  Now you have a bag of marshmallows!

S-mores

Now that we have all of our s-mores supplies we need to make the s-mores!  I used foam to make them.  I cut out squares of tan foam and made indents in them.  I then cut out pieces of chocolate to look similar to the chocolate bars I made.  Then I cut pieces out of the thick foam I have and shaped it to resemble a marshmallow.

You can use the paper graham crackers as well!  I was going to make some with paper, but I didn't get around to it.

Soda Box & Cans

When I go camping we always make sure to bring enough soda.  It's our drink of choice while we out in the great outdoors, kinda silly, but tradition.  I made a box that really holds the cans!

The box was pretty easy to make, just as before with the graham cracker box, I colored the template and then cut it out, but not perfectly.  I glued it to the paper board and since this one was bigger, I put a few books on top to make it flat.  After it was completely dry, I cut it out along the lines and then hot glued the sides together.  I again Mod-Podged (or clear glue) the entire thing, with three or four coats again.

Box: Colored PDF Version / Outlined PDF Version

I made six cans, which meant I printed the template for the cans twice.  I then colored the template and coated it with taped.  Next I grabbed a toothpick and started to roll some scrap paper I had that was the height as the can templates.  I kept rolling until it was the size I needed to be able to wrap the can template around the roll.  I glued the top and bottoms of the can on with hot glue and they are complete!

Cans: Colored PDF Version / Outlined PDF Version / Colored PDF Version (This version doesn't have the extra space with color in it)

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to leave a comment!  And that is all I have for part two!  Stay tuned for part three soon!

Have a wonderday!
