You'll need
Directions
- Take your colored construction paper and cut a shape that will serve as the roof for your haunted house. You can choose any hue you prefer.
- Next, cut smaller rectangles and squares from the paper to create the windows and door frames.
- Apply glue to the back of your window pieces and attach them to the front of the brown paper lunch sack.
- For a fun 3D effect, fold the edges of the window pieces backward so they stand out from the bag.
- Glue your door piece onto the bag, positioning it however you like.
- Decorate the house with stickers! A clever trick is to place stickers inside the door so they peek out when someone opens it, creating a surprise.
- Secure the roof piece to the top of the bag using glue or tape, then allow the craft to dry completely.
