DIY Lego Christmas Tree
  • We used brown bricks for the base of the tree and green bricks for the tree itself, making it move into a triangle shape.  At the end, we topped it off with a yellow brick for the star.  
  • To add a little more festive feel, we had some stickers from Hobby Lobby left over from Girl Scouts.  We added some red glitter stickers for garland, and some glitter dots for ornaments.

-No tree is complete without presents, so we added some.  To make the presents, we used 2×2 bricks and a small round piece for the bow.  The tall present was just made from a different type of brick.  You could make any type of present from any size Lego bricks.  

Have fun!   We would love to see some of your tree creations and present designs.

Tired of your paper towels rolling around while camping?  Tired of picking them up off the ground or running to catch them when the wind blows?  Left your nice store bought holder at home?

Girl Scout DIY paper towel holder for camping.

 

Our Girl Scouts decided that a quick solution uses only string and a stick. They were tired of the above problems and dirty towels, so they found a solution.  They used a long stick, slid the paper towels on the rod and used string to tie up the ends to the top of the kitchen tent.  Now no more running after the towels.  They were super proud of themselves for coming up with such an easy solution!
