Scarecrow Bags

Step 1: Draw a scarecrow face on a plain lunch sack using markers. A scarecrow face is comprised of wide eyes, a triangle nose, red cheeks, and a big smile. Use white chalk to make the scarecrow's teeth white. Don't forget to add eyebrows.

Step 2: Fill the sack with candy and fold the top over. Staple the bag together.

Step 3: Add raffia pieces to the top to look like the scarecrow's hair. Staple the raffia into place.

Foam Decorations

Step 4: Glue foam cutouts on a brown paper lunch sack. Halloween cutouts can be purchased from a craft or hobby store.

Step 5: Fill the bag with candy and staple it closed.

Step 6: Add ribbons to the top of the bag and staple or tape them into place. Embellish the bag further by adding glitter glue designs around the cutouts.
