Make two small holes (about 1/2 inch apart) at the top of the paper plate (you can use a pen, knife tip, sharp tree branch, screwdriver, camping multi-tool etc. to create the holes). Eventually you will feed the bag twist ties through these holes to fasten your DIY camping sign to a tree limb.

Repeat step 1 on the bottom of the paper plate.

Use colored markers, pencils or camping-themed stickers to decorate the back side of the paper plate. Get creative here to show your camping personality! Some Ideas: Camping symbols (like clipart of campfires, tents, camper trailers, roasting marshmallows, campsite scenes, camp equipment etc) are fun images to incorporate in your temporary DIY camping signs.

Draw an arrow within the decoration on the plate to tell your friends which direction to turn when they see your camping sign. NOTE: Make sure you know where you will be hanging your DIY camping sign so you know which direction the arrow should be drawn on the plate.

Feed the bag twist ties through the holes.

Hang your camping sign using the bag twist ties to fasten the top and bottom of the paper plate to the limbs of a tree, bush or other stationary object. NOTE: Make sure your camping sign is visible from the road your friends will be traveling on by walking on the road toward your sign. If you are in a heavily wooded area, it is easy for your temporary camping sign to be obstructed by the trees.
