Paper Bag Witch Puppet Step by Step Instructions

Step 1:

You can use store bought paper bag for this craft or you can make your own paper bag from craft paper or brown paper.

Print and cut out the witch puppet patterns from the provided template. Trace the patterns on colored craft papers of your choice and cut them out nicely.

Step 2:

Make a slit along the yellow marked line on the hair pattern. Insert the top side of the head through the hair-slit from below.

Step 3:

After pushing the top end of the head all the way through the slit, apply glue to join the head and hair together.

Step 4:

Glue the eye and blush cut-outs on the head. Use a black sharpie to draw the mouth and nose of the papercraft witch.

Step 5:

Prepare the dress pattern or you can trace and cut out a customized dress pattern according to the size of the paper bag you have.

Use sharpies or paper cut-outs to decorate the dress.

Step 6:

Select a paper bag or make a custom sized paper bag for this craft.

Step 7:

Flatten the bottom side of the paper bag with any one side of the bag. Attach the head pattern on the bottom part of the bag, keeping the hair faced outwards.

Step 8:

Glue the dress pattern on the bag’s side, below the head.

Step 9:

Glue the arms on both sides of the dress and then glue the shoe patterns on the bottom side of the dress.

Step 10:

Glue the broomstick cut-outs to make the paper broom and glue the band cut-out on the hat base cut-out to make the hat.

Step 11:

Glue the hat on the top side of the head and glue the broomstick on either arms of

the papercraft witch to complete the craft.

What will your witch name be? You can call this anything you like!

If you want to make your story telling even more fun, why not make Halloween masks at home to go alongside this! Younger kids can have fun too and try some of my Halloween witch coloring pages.
