This study aims to analyze the effect of the Project-Based Learning (PjBL) learning model on students' creative thinking skills at SDN Karangjati 01 Cilacap through ecoprint making. This study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. Data were collected through observation and interviews during the learning process. The subjects of the study were 23 fifth-grade students of SDN Karangjati 01 Cilacap who participated in learning with the PjBL model. The results showed that the PjBL learning model that integrated ecoprint making activities had a positive effect on students' creative thinking skills.
