Instructions
| Step 1. Gather your supplies.
|
|
|
Step 2.
Start at the top and cut along the side of a brown paper bag. |
|
Step 3.
Continue cutting to remove the bottom of the paper bag. You will have one large piece of brown paper bag. Fold the bag in half.
|
|
Step 4.
Use a pencil to draw a gingerbread man on one side of the bag. Tip: Trace the pencil line with a black marker so it’s darker and easier to see when cutting. |
|
Step 5.
Cut out the gingerbread man while keeping the paper folded. You will end up with 2 gingerbread men. |
|
Step 6.
Now it’s time to stuff the gingerbread man. We recommend doing this in two parts. First, place the (2) pieces together and staple the edges from the top of the left arm, around the head, stopping at the top of the right arm. |
|
Step 7.
Crumple up a small piece of newspaper and stuff inside the head. Add more crumpled newspaper to the arms. |
|
Step 8.
Use the stapler around the arms. Continue stapling the body and top of the legs. |
|
Step 9.
Stuff the body and legs with more crumpled newspaper. Use the stapler to close this portion of your Stuffed Gingerbread Man. |
|
Step 10.
Decorate your gingerbread man! We used Red and Silver Glitter Glue like icing to outline and decorate the edges. |
|
Step 11.
Next we used Wiggly Eyes, a Glitter Stick for the mouth and some Glitter Poms for buttons to complete! |
