Hi friends,
We have another handprint craft! We can’t stay away as they’re so easy to do. Today’s craft uses paper lunch bags, construction paper, and paint. Our bags had black print at the bottom so we couldn’t make the standard puppets, but you could easily create your own puppets following our steps on blank lunch bags. These scarecrows are customizable too, just switch the colors of the overalls, patches, and hat. Check out our adorable scarecrows below!

3. Use black & white paint for the eyes, black for the stitched mouth, pink for the cheeks, and orange & black for the stitched nose.
4. Slightly fold colored paper for a hat and cut a thick L shape. Trim away any excess and shape it however you’d like.
5. Lastly, glue the hat onto the scarecrow face, just above the eyes.
That’s it!
These were cute, easy, and very inexpensive to make.
Happy crafting!
