Glue the tiger’s head piece to the top of the brown paper bag flap. Glue the tiger’s body piece to the bottom of the bag.

Glue the smaller tiger stripes all around the top and both sides of the tiger’s head. Use scissors to trim off any of the excess paper that falls off the sides.

If you’re making this craft with young children and want to make it easier, just use a black marker for the kids to draw the stripes in.
