I have a "way too big" collection of books about making things. Recently my daughter was looking through one of my vintage "making things"books and wanted to create these paper bag monsters. She actually really had a lot of fun making these (and so did I). It just goes to show you that even old books have some great ideas.
Here is the book that this idea came from. It is dated 1974. When I researched further it is said to be Volume 9 of Worldbook's Childcraft Encyclopedia of awesome things. I'm sure we'll be making more things from this book.
This is my daughter C's mask.
