Washi Tape Paper Plates
Paper plates are a fantastic art material. I mean, there are literally hundreds of crafts on Pinterest that use paper plates! I think the possibilities are endless, they really are.

We ate, slept, hiked, visited beaches, laughed with family, took a million photos, made some t-shirts, and just had the time of our lives.

Our 2021 DIY Holiday Card

Cardboard Circus Tents
One of my all-time favorite art camp projects we made on the very first week of summer art camp I ever did were these Cardboard Circus Tents. The theme of the week was Join the Circus and we made clown masks, trapeze mobiles, ice cream cones, and lots of cheery bunting. These circus tents were…
