Note from Susy:
Craft idea: "punched tin" pictures. Use a juice lid and nail.
You could have stencils of all different kinds of things, maybe
even one of the YW torch. It would be very inexpensive you would just
need to collect A LOT of lids from frozen concentrate juice cans. Then
they could hot glue some pretty ribbon on it and hang it up in their
room. Just a thought.......
Note from" Wendy in VA - With the
newer can openers you can use the larger cans for your craft and both
ends easily with no sharp edges. Especially for the torch or other
emblems that need a larger area. You can put felt on the back and a
magnet, lace, whatever, as well.

Our Stake did this sort of theme "How the West Was One" and we made
bracelets from macramé twine cord and macramé beads. They loved doing
this activity. We also did leather tooled bracelets.
Contributed by: Lori
A few years ago we did the same thing with tin cans (the can part) and
punched out designs on the side, made a curly wire handle for the
top and it is a votive or tea light candle holder. The design shows up
and looks really cool when the candle is burning. The hard thing might
be this....it works way better if you freeze water in the can first so
that you are hammering the nails into something hard to make the design.
The freezing part might be a challenge at camp depending on your
facilities.

SUPPLIES:
-5 " x 5 " scrap of 1 " thick wood

-Hammer
-Needle nose pliers/wire cutter
-Star pattern
-18, 19 or 20 gage wire
-Ribbon of your choice
-Spray paint, color of your choice
Below is a link to a craft that would be fun and easy for the girls to
do at camp. Scroll down to wire star.
http://www.mormonchic.com/crafty/homemade-ornaments.asp#hollyberry
I was making some of these this morning for our NB tomorrow and realized
that they would be pretty simple to do. I have added 7 value colored
beads for the NB gift
This craft requires 20 gage wire, needle nose pliers (borrow some), and
a scrap wood frame and nails. This should be a relatively inexpensive
craft to do. You would need to make 5 or 6 'frames' prepared before hand
(15 minutes max)
This just consists of wrapping wire around the frame and then around the
star shape created on the frame. All the directions are on the link,
with pictures. Add beads to give it the special 'value' touch of girls
camp.
Cowboy- Sheriff Value Star, well maybe a better name, but you get the
idea.
