- Now grab your pipe cleaner, stuffed baggie and stapler.
- Fold the pipe cleaner in half and twist it to make antennas.
- Go ahead and staple it to the stuffed baggie from earlier.
- To finish off the Plastic Baggie and Crinkle Paper Alien craft, you are going to use the tape runner adhesive to adhere the paper eyeball you cut out earlier, onto the stuffed bag. Right in the center.
- Follow that up by taking the black Sharpie marker and drawing on a smile right underneath.
- Add any other embellishments you see fit {maybe a small bow or a few stickers!}
- Then display your stuffed alien monster 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
