Camping is more than just pitching a tent and roasting marshmallows. It’s a chance to connect with nature, relax, and get creative!

These easy DIY camping crafts will add a touch of magic to your next outdoor escape.
Leaf Imprints on Clay Pots
Leaf imprints on clay pots are a fun and creative camping craft. You get to enjoy nature and create beautiful designs at the same time.
Find some interesting leaves around your campsite. Look for leaves with strong veins and patterns for the best results.
Once you have your clay, gently press each leaf into the clay surface. The details of the leaf will transfer onto the pot, creating a unique and natural decoration.
These decorated pots make excellent souvenirs from your camping trip!
Nature Collage Frames
Nature Collage Frames are a fun way to make art from things you find while camping.
As you hike or explore, gather items like leaves, twigs, and flowers. These will become the materials for your frame.
You can use any flat surface to build your frame. Arrange your found items into patterns or shapes.
It’s a creative way to remember your trip and connect with nature.
Stick Picture Hangers
Stick picture hangers are a simple yet fun craft you can do while camping. Collect some sticks of similar thickness while on a nature walk. Look for sturdy sticks that are around the same length for balance.
Once you have your sticks, you’ll assemble them into a square or rectangle shape. Use string or twine to tie the corners together. Attach a piece of string to the top corners so you can hang your frame on a tree or tent.
For a special touch, you can decorate your frame with leaves, small pine cones, or even some camping-themed stickers to give it a unique look. Your picture hanger will look great with a special photo or drawing inside.
These three camping crafts are just the beginning. Let your imagination run wild and explore the endless possibilities of crafting with nature. Happy camping and creating!
