Mirabel Paper Bag Puppet 

I don’t know about you, but when I was a kid, one of my favorite things to do was make puppets out of paper bags. It was so much fun to come up with different designs and personalities for them. And now that my own kids are getting older, they love making puppets too! So today, we’re making a Mirabel paper bag puppet! 

Encanto Paper Bag Craft

Your kids may have been singing “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” over and over to the point where you found yourself singing along or am I the only one? Encanto was a hit movie of 2021 and Disney outdid themselves by making a movie about a girl who has a positive outlook even when things may not be going the best for her. If you are looking for a movie about a family who comes together no matter what happens then Encanto is perfect for you. 

Gather your family together and make these Mirabel Paper bag puppets and snuggle in for movie night. Allow your kids to use their imagination and play with their paper bag puppet as they watch the Madrigal family figure out why their love runs deep for each other.

How To Make a Mirabel Paper Bag Puppet

• Cut a slit along the scalloped line (yellow pattern) inside the hair pattern. Slide the top end of the head cutout through the slit from below. Apply glue to attach the head and hair patterns together.

• Glue the earring cutouts (small teardrop cutouts) on the ear parts of the head pattern and attach the glass cutout on the head cutout, slightly below the hair part.

• Use a sharpie to draw the eyes, nose, and mouth-line of the Mirabel paper figure.

• You can use the dress patterns from the provided template or draw your own dress patterns according to the size of the bag. The top part of the dress should be white and the bottom part (skirt) should be blue. Cut the dress patterns (designs) from different bright colored craft papers.

• Select a brown paper bag or craft your own paper bag from brown paper or craft paper. You can customize the dress design according to the size of the bag. Attach the dress design cutouts on the dress pattern.
