The Craft Directions:

First have your child paint their paper bag however they like {we went with a a shade of purple all over}
Set aside to let it dry a bit before moving on to the next step.
Now is the time to decorate the witch hat roof! Take the printable and color it however you like.
When done, trim out the design and discard excess paper.
Next stuff their paper bag with shredded paper until it stands nicely on it’s own and looks full.
Then fold/staple the top of the bag so the shredded paper won’t come out.
Go ahead and staple the witch hat paper piece in place.
Next grab your various shades of colored cardstock paper and scissors.
Out of the cardstock paper, draw/cut out haunted house features – a chimney, windows, a door etc.
Take your cutouts and staple/glue them to the stuffed paper bag piece.
To finish off the Paper Haunted House – have children draw/glue on some other house features to the front of the paper bag, as well as some ghost stickers to give it life.
Then place in an undisturbed area to display proudly all season long!
