Directions:

* When you are ready and the paint is dry enough, grab your painted paper bag and crinkle bag.
* Fill the paper bag with the crinkle paper {or scrunched up recycled newspaper pieces} until it’s about half way full and can stand on it’s own.
* Twist the top a little bit and go ahead & staple the bag shut.
* Finally the last step is to staple the handprint cutout to the stuffed paper bag to really make it look like a carrot.
* Now display your paper bag carrot proudly for ALL to see!

Make it your own and make it a carrot themed gift bag – when you stuff the bag with the crinkle paper, throw in some small trinkets & Easter candy. Then follow the remaining steps and gift away!
