Step 1:
Select the required colored craft papers for the paper bag Harry Potter puppet pattern.

Trace the template patterns on the selected craft papers and cut them out nicely.
Step 2:
Attach the hand cut-outs to the sleeve cut-outs and attach the hair cut-out on the top side of the head cut-out.
Step 3:
Use a red sharpie to draw and fill striped textures on the muffler cut-out.
Use a pencil to draw the face details (eyes, glasses, nose, mouth and the mark on the forehead) on the head part.
Step 4:
Take the paper bag you will be using for this craft or craft your own from craft paper.
Measure and cut out 2 pieces of papers to cover the bottom half (trousers) and the top half (shirt) of the paper bag.
Step 5:
Attach the shirt and trouser cut-outs together. The joined pattern should cover the paper bag.
