When Halloween rolls around, add a little spookiness to your home decor by having children create a one-of-a-kind and custom haunted house piece out of a simple & rather inexpensive paper bag!

Happy crafting this upcoming “spook-tacular” holiday, my friends!!!

Paper Bag Haunted House Supplies:

* Paper Bag {brown or white}
* Shredded Paper
* Stapler
* Craft Paint
* Paint Brush
* School Glue
* Scissors
* Cardstock
* Markers
* Ghost Stickers

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.
* Next have them stuff their paper bag with shredded paper until it stands nicely/looks full. Then fold/staple the top of the bag so the shredded paper won’t come out.
* Now grab your cardstock and scissors. Out of the cardstock, draw/cut out haunted house features – a roof, windows, a door etc.
* Take your cutouts and staple/glue them to the stuffed paper bag piece.
* To finish off the Paper Bag 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 display proudly!
