Begin by printing the paper bag ballerina template. Cut out the pieces. Trace the bun and bangs on the hair color cardstock of choice, and do the same for the top and tutu.

Cut a slit in the center bottom of the bag.

Glue the top below the flap.

Then glue the tutu slightly over the top.

Glue the bangs in place.

And glue the bun to the back top of the bag.

Now, adhere googly eyes.

Draw a simple mouth with the red marker.

Finally, draw ballet flats with a black marker, or the color of your choice.

Your ballerina is now ready to dance!

These make the most fun paper puppets. We love the idea of keeping all our paper bag puppets together in one container so that they stay together as long as possible.
