It’s simple to make and you only need a few basic supplies like brown lunch sacks, white craft paint, and a plastic fork. Let the fun begin!
Craft Supplies:
- Bear Head – on our landing page
- White Cardstock Paper
- Paper Lunch Bag
- White Craft Paint
- Small Paper Plate
- Plastic Fork
- Scissors
- Glue Stick
- Markers
- Googly Eyes
Directions:
- First things first! If you haven’t already – be sure to grab the free file {listed above} and print it out on a single sheet of WHITE cardstock paper.
- Next grab your scissors and trim out ONE of the head shapes from the printable..
- Glue on the two googly eyes, the provided spaces, on your cutout so your bear can see.
- Go ahead and also cut out TWO bear paws from the remaining white paper.
- Use the marker to add the paw prints.
- Set aside your decorated paper pieces, along with the remaining second head piece for later.
- Next up – squirt a small amount of white 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} with the plastic fork to give the bag a “fur” texture. You can add as much or as little as you like!
- When you are done painting, it’s time for the final step! Go ahead and glue the decorated head cutout piece from earlier, to the empty flap piece of the paper bag.
- Follow that up by gluing down the two bear paws towards the bottom.
- Finish it up by adding any other embellishments you see fit.
- Then let your finished craft dry completely before you display the finished Paper Bag Polar Bear craft piece proudly or play with it like a puppet.
