Directions:
1. Cut off top off paper bag, paint paper bag and let it dry
Cut off about 2-inches from the top of the white paper bag. Paint the front of your paper bag with your peach paint (the side with the bottom of the bag facing forward). Let it dry completely.
2. Cut out mermaid seashell bra pieces, hair and tail
While your paper bag is drying, cut out two hearts for the seashell bra (we used our handy heart punch for this). You could also opt to cut out a traditional seashell shape. You will also need to cut out several strips for the hair and a mermaid tail from your shiny green textured cardstock paper.
3. Glue all pieces onto paper bag, draw a smile
Finish your mermaid by gluing all the pieces onto your paper bag, the tail, hearts, googly eyes and hair. Then draw a smile onto your paper bag mermaid craft. Now your adorable paper bag mermaid craft is all ready for play!
