How to Draw a Paper Bag
Draw a paper bag in 11 easy steps, about 8 minutes. Free, with a printable worksheet.
Each picture adds one red line. Draw that line, then scroll to the next picture. Rub out any dashed helper lines at the end. First up: the bag.
Step 1: The bag
In the middle of your paper, draw a tall box as tall as your hand, a bit taller than wide.
Step 2: The folded top
Near the top, draw a zigzag from one side of the bag across to the other, for the folded top.
Step 3: Two big eyes
On the bag, a little above the middle, draw 2 big egg eyes with a black dot and white shine.
Step 4: Smile and cheeks
Draw a U smile under the eyes. Add a small oval cheek beside each end.
Step 5: Side folds
Draw a straight line down each side, a finger in from the edge, from the zigzag to the bottom.
Step 6: Tucked sides
On the top edge, above each side fold, draw a little V pointing down, for the tucked sides.
Step 7: A heart sticker
Low on the bag, a little right, draw a small heart: 2 round bumps on top and a point below.
Step 8: Sparkles and ground
Add 4 sparkles in the air, then a long ground line under the bag.
Step 9: Pink cheeks
Colour the 2 cheeks pink.
Step 10: Brown paper
Colour the bag and its folded top tan, around the cheeks and the heart. Leave the eyes white.
Step 11: Red heart
Colour the heart sticker red.
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a paper bag, drawn by you.
