This Paper Bag Princess craft for kids is tons of fun to make and hours of fun to play with.
Have the kids create a play, write the plot, then spend hours making the puppets for their home-made play out of brown paper lunch bags.
Few hours with scissors and glue and we can have little Shakespeare’s on our hands!
You can make many things like:
- Prince Charming
- The Evil Queen
- Horse
- Ogre
- Elves
- Dwarfs
- Monsters
- Fairy
We previously have made animal puppets with paper bags and a paper bag pumpkin for Halloween trick or treat!
Write a play or story, then create all the characters you will need out of paper bags.
Before we get crafting, create a blueprint for the puppet you wish to make.
For our example, we have decided to make a princess to act out a fairy tale story with Prince Charming. I have also made popsicle stick puppets featuring a Princess and a Frog if you have little girls who want to tell a story with their crafts!
How To Make Paper Bag Puppets – Princess Craft
Our story has a beautiful princess as a main character. Here’s how you can make her:
Craft Supplies:
- Brown Paper Lunch Bags
- String (if character needs hair)
- Googly Eyes

Step #1:
In the fold of the bag crate your puppets mouth. You can do this by coloring the inside red, or maybe add some lips with construction paper.
Step #2:
On the top glue on some string as hair and any hat they may be wearing. For ours we have added hair and a gold crown.
Step #3:
Decorate your face as desired. use goggly eyes to give your puppet some more character.
Also, add arms to the sides if your character has arms.
Step #4:
Color and decorate the body with markers. For ours we have created a dress.
