How to Make an Abe Lincoln Paper Bag Craft for President’s Day 

step 1: Abraham Lincoln crafts

  1. Cut out a rectangular piece from the black construction paper, the exact size of your brown lunch bag.
    Glue this piece onto the front side of the entire bag.  Also, from the black paper, cut out a strip that is 9 inches long and 1 inch wide for the hat brim. Finally, cut out a small oval shape for the nose. Set the nose and hat brim aside for later use.

  2. For the hair and beard, cut out a 5 inch wide by 6 inch length piece of craft fur and glue it towards the bottom of the lunch bag. Allow at least one inch of fur to be hanging over the bottom of the bag.  Snip a few pieces of craft fur for the eyebrows and set aside for later use.
    step 3 glue brim of the hat
  3. Take the long black strip from step 1 and glue it directly above the top of the craft fur for the brim of the hat.
  4. For the face, cut out a rectangle shape from the tan paper that is 4 inches long and 2 1/2 inches wide. You don’t have to cut it perfectly along a straight line. I zig-zagged in a couple of places to make the face look more natural. Also from the tan paper, cut out 2 ears the size of a quarter. Set aside for Step 9.
  5. Apply glue to the back of the tan paper and press down onto the beard.

  7. Glue the nose from Step 1 onto the face.
