DIY :: S'MORE KITS

Let's just say that we are not a camping family, except for our older sister Katie. She married into a family of campers and now has bins in her garage dedicated to the "sport".  For her son's 7th birthday they rented a campsite and invited us along. We thought, hey why not make a project out of our adventure and make the kids s'more kits? We filled boxes with the standard graham crackers, hershey's chocolates, and marshmallows. Simple yes, but oh so cute! We bought fabric, cut it into squares, wrapped the boxes, and tied them to sticks for roasting. These blissful boxes of goodies would be perfect for birthday parties, wedding favors, a baby shower, or just to spice up your next camping trip. With open minds and a suitcase full of our glam-ping gear, our adventure ended up being truly divine!

Supplies for 6 boxes:
1.5 yards of fabric
6 boxes (Joannes has em)
clear bags (also from Joannes)
bakers twine (optional- I just tie it on EVERYTHING!)
1 box of marshmallows
1 box of graham crackers
1 bag of individually wrapped hershey bars
6 sticks




Box makes 2 s'mores each! When you pack your baggies put 2 graham crackers in a bag (the box should have 4 crackers total) as well as 2 marshmallows in a bag. 
Tie your box up in fabric. Watch a great tutorial here!
Grab some little helpers to hunt for the perfect roasting sticks!
Throw em' over your shoulder!
p.s. the fabric can double as a placemat/napkin. 
Trust us, you will be thankful for those after all of that ooey, gooey, goodness!
