Craft Supplies:
Before you start crafting, gather all the necessary materials. This ensures the process goes smoothly and keeps the kids focused on creating their masterpiece.
- White Cardstock Paper

Having these basic items on hand will provide a solid foundation for your skeleton craft. Most of these materials are likely already in your home or can be easily found at any craft store.
Directions:
- First things first – download and print out the provided “skull head” printable, on a single sheet of white cardstock paper. You only need ONE print per skeleton craft. If desired, color in the printable but we left ours blank for the example images.
- Use scissors to trim out the head shape. Discard excess paper.
- Next up – lay your brown paper bag on a flat surface with the flap of the bag facing upwards.
- Paint the larger portion of the paper bag completely black.
- When ready to start bring your skeleton to life, glue on the head cutout to the flap of the painted bag.
- Finally, the last step is to glue on the q-tips for the skeleton’s “ribs.” You can add as many as you want for this step.
- And that’s it! Let it dry completely in an undisturbed area.
- When done decorating your lunch sack, display your awesome brown paper bag mummy craft piece proudly for all to see or use it as a puppet!
