Cute Forest Animal Paper Bags

These adorable woodland animal paper craft bags are great to make as a craft, or to give with a gift inside.

If you are looking for a fun way to teach kids about animals, let them make these cute forest animal crafts.

With our free template for a rabbit, fox and squirrel, you can cut out these patterns right now and start crafting.

We used these templates to make adorable bags. And we used construction paper to make bags in accompanying colors (you can see a video of how to do it below).

However, you can add the animal shapes to plain brown paper bags. Or, just glue on a piece of paper.

If you like these paper animals, you will like our Woodland Animal Paper Wreath, too.

Instructions

Step 1:

Let’s make the paper fox in this example. All of the rest of the animals can be made following similar instructions.

Trace the template patterns on the colored papers. Cut out the patterns.

Step 2:

Glue the inner ear patterns (2 small triangular pieces) on the ears of the fox’s head pattern.

Now glue the heart shaped piece on the bottom side of the fox’s head, with the point side down.

Glue the small pattern of the tail on the tip of the big tail pattern.

Step 3:

Prepare a paper bag using an 8 inches × 8 inches orange colored craft paper or any colored craft paper you prefer for the fox. You can also use a sheet of paper if you don’t want to make a paper bag fox.
