Tutorial:

1. Paint & cut paper bag

Start by painting the front of your paper bag with your black paint. Let it dry. When your paint is finished drying, turn your paper bag over and draw the shape of bat ears on the back of your paper bag with a pencil. Then cut it out.

2. Stuff the bag with newspaper

Cut up strips of newspaper, crumple them up and stuff your paper bag with them. When it’s full, close the top of your bag, lining up the bat ears and then staple it shut.

3. Print & cut out bat wings

Download and print out the bat wings template on black cardstock paper. Cut out the bat wings. Staple them onto the sides of your paper bag bat.

4. Finish with adding eyes & teeth

Glue your googly eyes onto your bat. Finish your stuffed paper bag bat craft by cutting out a few teeth from your white cardstock paper and gluing them onto your bat.
