Materials

  • Brown paper lunch bags standard sized; not giant
  • Colored paper in orange, black, & green
  • Glue stick
  • Frankenstein template
  • .5" circle punch optional

Instructions

  • Download and print out the Frankenstein template. Cut out all the pieces and set aside.
  • Take the body piece and glue it to the main portion of the paper bag. Cut off any excess that hangs off the body.
  • Next, glue the head piece to the flap portion of the paper bag.
  • Glue the shirt piece to the bottom of the body.
  • Make Frankenstein's jacket by gluing one half of the black piece onto the left side of the orange shirt. Next glue the other black piece onto the opposite side of the paper bag.
  • Place the button onto the bottom and middle of the jacket pieces. Alternatively, you can use a Crayola Bold & Bright marker to draw the button instead.
  • Glue the mouth below the paper bag flap and just above the shirt line.
  • Glue Frankenstein's teeth along the bottom of his mouth.
  • Glue the hair onto the top of the paper bag, with about a 1" overhang on the top (so there is enough room for the rest of the face).
  • Position the eyes just about the flap line and glue in place.
  • Glue the eyebrows to the top of the eyes.
  • Lift up the flap and secure the bolts on either side of Frankenstein's head with glue.
