This paper bag snowman is a difficult craft for an adult, and a child will need a lot of help in order to complete it successfully.

Materials: 1 grocery size paper bag. I got my grocery to donate them.
3 lunch size paper bags.
Newspaper
String
Masking Tape
Acrylic fiber-fill
Black Construction paper.
Orange Construction paper
White Acrylic Paint.
Elmers Glue-All

Time: 45 minutes to 1 hour.

Method:
1) Stuff the grocery bag loosely with crumpled newspaper.
2) Roll a support by opening up a full page of newspaper and rolling it lengthwise into a tube. Tape it closed. Insert it into the grocery bag.
3) Gather the top of the grocery bag together and tie it with string around the support tube. This is quite difficult, as parts of the grocery bag will try to avoid being tied. Take heart. This can be done.
4) Roll a second support tube by opening a full page of newspaper and roll it from the short side. Tape it closed. Tie it to the upright support tube. This will support the arms of the snowman.
5) Stuff the lunch bags with loosely crumpled newspaper and slide over the supports. Gather and tie the lunch bags around the support. This is a little easier than the grocery bag, because the lunch bags are less stiff.
6) Stuff another lunch bag to make the head. Slide it over the upright support and tie it as previously done. This will make an awkward looking snowman from the back as you can see from this picture.


If you have tied all the bags tightly, they should stay in a position that looks like a snowman. If you haven't managed that, they will droop. Sometimes using a bit of masking tape will help the bag to stay tied, or improve its position. In this case, I had one droopy arm no matter what I did.
7) Paint your snowman with white acrylic paint. I found that if I painted the front, by the time I was ready to paint the back, at least one arm was dry enough to hold on to. Don't expect yourself, or your kids to completely turn the paper bags white. Remind them that sometimes dirt and grass get rolled into the snowman and that 8) Use the orange construction paper to make the nose. First fold the paper, then cut the triangle, then cut open the ends in order to have a gluing surface. Put in place on the face and hold until the glue dries.
9) Cut circles from black paper to make the eyes, mouth, and buttons if you wish.
10) Take the fiberfill and make a beard, eyebrows, and if you wish, hair. The beard covers up the string and the supports. It improves the look of the snowman from the front immensely.
11) Enjoy your accomplishment! You worked hard for this one!
