You will need: Two large Paper Supermarket bags with Handles, a pair of Scissors, glue sticks and glue gun, markers and Imagination!

First, carefully remove the handles from the paper bags. They come off pretty easily if you slide an envelope opener under their seal.

Place one bag inside the other. Be sure to tuck corners together with the bottom bag.
Cut small 1 inch folding points at each of the four corners. Fold edges of bag over twice so that they hang down at all four sides. Scroll the edges using a flat object like a book to press them down forming a neat edge all the way around the rim of the bag.

| Fold sides to make Goblin head and body |
The fourth step is to decorate the handles and flaps of the bag. Create a Goblin by marking eyes on one of the end flaps. Use markers to accentuate the eyes and add a body to the Goblin by drawing on the bag under the flap.

With the glue gun attach the handles to the insides of the long edges of the bag.
