I love doing Halloween crafts with my kids, but I’m partial to easy Halloween crafts you can make with items you likely have around the house already, like this soup can mummy and paper plate pumpkin.

Today I’m going to share another easy Halloween craft made from household stuff, the paper bag pumpkin.

What You Need to Make Paper Bag Pumpkins:

• Small paper bag
• Newspaper
• Markers
• Glue
• Scissors
• Construction paper
• Ribbon / Yarn

How to Make Paper Bag Pumpkins:

1. Create a pumpkin face on one side of the paper bag by using markers and/or construction paper to create two eyes, a nose and a mouth.

2. Stuff the paper bag with crumpled newspaper to fill out the bag.

3. Fold the bag over and glue it closed.

4. Use ribbon and/or yarn to decorate the top of the bag so it looks like a pumpkin head.

This simple Halloween craft is great to make with your kids at home or with a classroom of students!
