Get creative and spark your child’s imagination with this spooky and fun paper bag witch puppet craft idea! With just a few simple supplies, you can enjoy some fun Halloween crafting with the kids.
Craft Supplies:
- Hat Printable – on our landing page
- White Cardstock Paper
- Orange Cardstock Paper
- Glitter Cardstock Paper
- Crayons, Markers or Coloring Pencils
- Paper Lunch Bags
- Small Paper Plate
- Black Craft Paint
- Foam Paint Brush
- Craft Scissors
- Glue Stick
Directions:
- First things first! If you haven’t already – be sure to grab the free WITCH HAT file {listed above} and print it out on a single sheet of white cardstock paper.
- Next grab your choice of coloring materials and color in the hat design in the printable.
- When done coloring, go ahead and trim out hat shape. Set it aside.
- Now grab your orange cardstock paper and trace both of your child’s hands {one at a time, in separate locations} on the paper.
- When done tracing, trim them both out. This will be the witch’s hair for the craft.
- At this point in time you should also cut out an oval nose for the witch.
- Set all the paper pieces aside.
- Next up – squirt the black craft paint on the paper plate.
- Lay the brown paper bag on a flat surface, with the flap facing up.
- You are going to want to paint the larger side {not the flap} black.
- When you are done painting, it’s time for the final step! Go ahead and glue the decorated hat cutout piece from earlier, to the flap piece of the paper bag.
- Follow by up by gluing on the “handprint hair” cutouts to the flap of the paper bag.
- Finish it up by adding gluing on the nose and adding any other embellishments you see fit.
- Then let your finished craft dry completely before you display the finished Paper Bag Halloween Witch Puppet proudly or play with it for some imaginative fun.
