Old School Paper Bag Mask

From the 1971 printing of the Cub Scout Wolf Book.

Make your own mask this Halloween season! This simple and fun craft requires a paper grocery bag, some paste or paper mache glue, and paint.

First stuff the paper bag with rags or crumpled up news paper to make the shape of your mask’s head.

Next, paste strips of paper over the bag to give it shape.

Then, you can add a nose, ears, etc. by cutting out shapes and pasting onto your mask. Make sure to let it dry completely.

Finally, paint your mask. You could have a large smile, Large eyes, a tiny nose, you get the point. Create your mask any way that you want. You could even be a Halloween monster!
