1.Gather all supplies. Using scissors, cut both rounded ends from one jumbo craft stick. Cut one rounded end from two jumbo craft sticks.

2. Basecoat the three trimmed jumbo craft sticks with dark brown acrylic craft paint. These will become the campfire logs. Let dry, and apply a second coat, if necessary. 

3. Paint circles with tan acrylic craft paint on the remaining two rounded ends of the two jumbo craft sticks. Let dry, and apply a second coat, if necessary. You can use washable markers, crayon, or even colored pencil to color the jumbo craft sticks.

4. Using a washable black or brown marker, draw random lines on the logs to look like tree bark. On the ends of the logs, draw a spiral circle to look like the tree rings.

5. Stack the three craft stick logs on top of each other in a criss cross pattern and secure with a glue gun and glue sticks.

6. Download, print, and cut out the CRAFT STICK CAMPFIRE PATTERNS. Trace the campfire template pieces onto the cardstock with a pencil or marker. Trace the largest flame on red cardstock, the middle flame onto orange cardstock, and trace the smallest flame onto yellow cardstock. 

7. Cut all three of the flame shapes out of the cardstock with scissors.

8. Layer the campfire flames on top of each other from largest in the back to smallest in the front. Secure each of the three layers together with a glue stick. 

9. Flip the campfire logs over and attach the flames to the top edge using a glue gun and hot glue. You can use liquid craft glue for this project, but you will have to wait for it to dry.

10. Trace the cheek patterns onto pink cardstock using a pencil or marker, and then cut out with scissors.

11. Secure the cheeks on either side of the flame with the glue stick. Attach two large wiggle eyes to the campfire flame using a glue gun. 

12. To finish, draw a smile on the campfire flame’s face from cheek to cheek with a washable black marker.
