Directions:

• First things first – grab ONE sandwich baggie and your white & black colored crinkle paper.
• Open up the baggie – nice and wide!
• First stuff the sandwich baggie with a small amount of white crinkle paper. Right in the center of the bag.
• Next grab a handful of black crinkle paper and stuff it inside the bag but AROUND the white paper you just placed in there. Try not to blend the two together. The white will represent the penguin’s belly, while the black is his body.
• Carefully remove some air from the bag and seal it off at the top.
• Set it aside till later.
• If you haven’t already, download and print out the FREE printable listed above in the supply list. You only need one print per craft.
• Grab your choice of coloring utensil in the shade of orange.
• Color in the feet and triangle nose in the printable.
• When done coloring, trim out ALL the pieces with your scissors.
• Discard excess white paper.
• Now grab the black colored cardstock.
• Cut out a medium sized circle for the head of the penguin.
• Go ahead and staple it to the stuffed baggie from earlier.
• To finish off the Plastic Baggie and Crinkle Paper Penguin craft, you are going to use the tape runner adhesive to adhere ALL the paper pieces you cut out earlier, onto the stuffed bag. The feet go on the bottom, while the facial pieces will go on the black circle.
• Add any other embellishments you see fit {maybe a small bow or a few stickers!}
• Then display your stuffed penguin friend made out of crinkle paper for ALL to see and don’t forget to share a picture with us on your social media sites! #gluedtomycrafts
