I recently shared a Scarecrow Paper Plate craft. I don’t know about you, but I just couldn’t get enough of the scarecrow’s face. This Scarecrow Paper Bag Craft is fun to make and will complement your fall parties. Kids will enjoy using it as a puppet, too!

- Paint or draw dashes through the mouth and outlines nose and paint 2 small circles on the side of the mouth to look like cheeks.
- Cut 2 sets of about 10-15 pieces of raffia about 5″ long and tie the ends with another piece and glue the raffia to each side on the top of the bag.
- Wrap a piece of burlap ribbon around the top of the scarecrows head and secure with glue in the back.
- Fold a 5″ inch piece of burlap ribbon in half to look like a triangle and glue to the back of the burlap wrapped around the scarecrows head.
- Place your hand in the bag and use as a puppet.
This craft is perfect for the table at a Friendsgiving gathering, fall party, or bonfire!
