Scarecrow Paper Bag Craft

Make this fun scarecrow paper bag craft with the kids then use it as a puppet! Supply list and directions at thatbaldchick.com

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!

Scarecrow Paper Bag Craft

Scarecrow Paper Bag Craft Supplies

  • Paper bags
  • Raffia
  • 1.5″ burlap ribbon
  • Cream craft paint
  • Googly eyes
  • Orange card stock
  • Black Sharpie
  • Elmer’s Glue or Hot Glue Gun with Glue Sticks
  • Scissors

If you’re doing fall crafts, you may as well buy your raffia in bulk. It’s so much cheaper than buying a little bit at a time!

Scarecrow Paper Bag Craft Directions

  • Cut a triangle out of your orange card stock, round the edges with scissors, turn the bag upside down and glue to the bottom flat on the edge.
  • Glue to googly eyes above the triangle.
  • Use a black Sharpie to draw a wavy mouth and an outline around the nose.
  • 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!
