Creative Challenge - Paper Bag Princesses

Rachelle over at Tinkerlab has issued a creative challenge and the Lil Divas and I were intrigued & inspired to see what we could create with 

paper bags......

Being this is a child centered challenge,

I sat down to brainstorm with the Lil Divas

but as soon as I mentioned what we had to use

they knew what they wanted to make -

Paper Bag Princess Dresses

(inspired by The Paper Bag Princess by Robert Munsch)

My Adorable Paper Bag Princess

What else would a Lil Diva 

want to make from a paper bag?

This project was perfect for them 

& they were excited about doing it.

 We enlisted Daddy's help to get some paper bags 

and I helped get the project started by cutting out

arm & head holes for each dress.

The Lil Divas decided they wanted 

long dresses with ruffles at the bottom - 

luckily we had extra bags to tape around the other bag 

and we cut some rounded edges at the bottom.

To hide the wording on the paper bags we glued on some tissue paper and that became their design canvas.

Then the Lil Divas used our sticker stash

to decorate, decorate, decorate!

Are you ready to see my  

Paper Bag Princesses?

Aren't they cute?

They were so happy with their creations!

Our inspiration:

Psst! Just in case you think crafting is easy peasy at my house, check out our playroom mid craft -

Yes, the Lil Divas LOVE to make a good mess,

& this was just the section I dare show you! :)

We had fun with this Creative Challenge

& I am looking forward to the next one....

egg cartons! 

Now, the fun part....

you can get crafty with a paper bag or two, or three...
