How To Make a Halloween Witch Puppet From A Paper Bag
1 – If you feel you need it, print the hand sketched witch template, or just use the photo above as a guide.
2 – If you’re not able to use a green paper bag, turn your brown paper bag upside down and then cover the base and front with green paper.
3 – To make the witch’s dress, cut a rectangle from black paper to fit on the front of the bag. Remove a triangle to make a V neck. If you want to you can put a piece of white behind it too to look like a vest.
4 – Cut a witch’s hat from black paper. Add a purple trim and yellow buckle.
5 – Glue the hat onto the bottom of the paper bag, which is now at the top.
6 – Cut and concertina fold some orange paper rectangles to make the witch’s hair and glue them on.
7 – We gave our witch a fancy diagonal belt adorned with a W. You can copy ours or keep it simple and just do a horizontal band and buckle.
7 – Use the template guide to cut out some eyebrows, nose and mouth for the witch and glue them on with some wiggle eyes.
8 – Use your marker pen to draw on some freckles or warts.
9 – Now you can put your hand into the paper bag witch puppet to bring her to life! I bet she can’t wait to mix up some magic potions in her cauldron!
