- When done, set it aside to allow it to dry completely while you work on the remaining steps.
- Next up, if you haven’t already, go ahead and print out the “mushroom cap roof” printable that is listed above.
- Once you have the printable printed, decorate one of the designs and trim it out.
- At this point in time you should go ahead and cut out a chimney, door, windows etc. for your house, from the remaining pieces of cardstock paper.
- Now gather up all your paper pieces and the white painted paper bag.
- Open it up and stuff your bag with a handful of shredded paper, until it stands up nicely and looks really full.
- Take your stapler, along with the mushroom cutout and staple it to the stuffed paper bag to close it up.
- To finish off the lunch sack mushroom craft – glue on your remaining paper pieces, as well as any other embellishments you see fit.
