I do love our paper bag crafts. We made a really cute Paper Bag Dad Craft for Father’s Day that’s along the same lines as our Paper Bag Scarecrow Craft. We also really enjoyed this Paper Bag Hedgehog Craft, our Love Cow Paper Bag Craft is so cute, gotta love a Paper Bag Robot Craft, and these Paper Bag Houses are so easy to create.
