Cute Paper Bag Shark Craft
To make our super cute paper bag shark craft you will first need to print our paper bag shark template.
You’ll also need brown paper lunch bags, acrylic paint in your choice of colors, cardstock in corresponding colors plus red and white, medium sized googly eyes, a glue stick, and scissors.

- Acrylic paint – your choice of colors
- Cardstock – corresponding colors, red, white
- Googly eyes, medium

Baby Shark Craft Step by Step Directions
Begin by painting a brown paper lunch bag. You will need 2 shades of the same or close to the same color. You’ll need a lighter shade and a darker shade. We used silver and gray, light and dark blue, and also purple and maroon.
Paint the top, flap area of the bag with the darker shade.
Then paint from the flap down with a lighter shade. Let all the paint dry completely.
While the paint is drying, print the shark template on white cardstock. Cut out all the pieces. Trace the mouth on red cardstock and cut out. Leave the jagged teeth white.
You will also need to trace and cut the triangles from a corresponding color of cardstock.
When the paint is dry, glue the mouth under the flap.
Glue the teeth in place under the flap, too.
Add googly eyes.
Lastly, glue the larger triangle to the top of the paper bag.
And the smaller triangles at the sides of the paper bag.
Doo doo doo doo doo! The cutest, sweetest sharks under the sea!
