Easy Paper Bag Halloween Crafts
Our pair of Easy Paper Bag Halloween Crafts are so easy, in fact, they’re scary! Not like super spooky kind of scary, but a too good to be true kind of eerie. Except they’re not too good to be true, because they’re just that good and easy! As an added bonus, it’s a fun Halloween craft that works with shapes, too.
Perfect Halloween crafts for toddlers, our Paper Bag Ghost Craft and our Paper Bag Jack-O-Lantern Craft are both super similar crafts. Paint one bag orange, the other white, and there’s a lot of other differences. So they work great as a fun afternoon of Halloween crafting, and so easy.

Paper Bag Halloween Crafts Step by Step Directions
Both of these crafts are super easy and go together in just a few simple steps. We’ll start with the jack-o-lantern.
Paper Bag Jack-O-Lantern Craft
Begin by painting the paper bag orange.
Let the paint dry completely.
While the paint is drying, cut the pieces for the jack-o-lantern’s face from black cardstock. You’ll need simple triangles for the eyes, as well as a smaller triangle for the nose. Then, cut a half circle. Make triangle notches in the half circle for the Jack-O-Lantern mouth. You can always draw the face shapes out first to make it easier.
Then, when the paint is dry, glue the eyes and nose in place on the flap of the bag.
Finally, glue the mouth below the flap.
Paper Bag Ghost Craft
Start by painting a paper bag white.
Let the paint dry completely.
While the paint is drying, cut two ovals and a circle from black cardstock.
Then, once the paint is completely dry, glue the ovals to the flap of the paper bag.
Finally, glue the circle mouth below the flap.
