Straight Outta Camp Printable

Pin to Pinterest

Has summer camp created lasting memories, if so check out this FREE PRINTABLE, Straight Outta Camp. This is perfect for iron t-shirts, cinch bags, duffel and more. We used a polyester bag, which was adorable but a cotton t-shirt or cotton cinch bag would be perfect no only for the iron-on, but also for getting signatures. We suggest using Sharpie Markers.

Supplies:

T-Shirt Transfer Paper
Cotton T-Shirt or Poly Bag
Fabric Markers
Iron
Kraft Paper (if using a polyester bag) – also try to find the paper at the Dollar Store or a Craft Store for under $5!

Directions:

Open the Straight Outta Camp image (see below) on the computer.
Set your printer to mirror image before you print.
Print your image on the coated side of the transfer paper (white side, not word side). Allow the printed image to dry before transferring.
Heat up Iron.
Pre-Iron bag or T-Shirt to remove moisture and to create a flat surface.
Place transfer face down and press firmly with the iron. Peel a corner to make sure it is attached before removing completely.

If using a polyester cinch bag use Kraft Paper to avoid melting the bag with the iron! Keep in mind that poly bags are harder to sign.

Finding Dory Homemade Squirt Playdough

Pin to Pinterest

Who doesn’t love Finding Nemo or Finding Dory. These are two popular movies in our home and we are a bit obsessed. In an effort to work on our Summer Bucket List this summer, we wanted to tackle this fun Finding Dory Homemade Squirt Playdough.

Supplies Needed:

2 cup of plain white flour
3/4 cup of salt
1 tbs oil (also consider an essential oil)
1 cup of cold water
2-3 drops of green food coloring
Fine crafting glitter (optional)

Directions:

In a large bowl mix the flour, salt, oil, and cold water together. You will notice the ingredients begin to clump up. Continue mixing until a soft dough forms.
Because you are using less salt than most play dough recipes, you will notice that the dough stays clumpy. This is what will give it the coral effect. If you wish for smoother dough, add an extra ¼ cup of salt.
Add 2-3 drops of food coloring to the dough. Continue to knead the dough until the color spreads to your liking.
Finish off your dough by adding an optional sprinkle of glitter.Your coral play dough can now be enjoyed. When not in use, place it in an airtight container. It should last for several weeks as long as it doesn’t have the chance to dry out.
