Supplies to gather:
A paper grocery bag - any size will do, but we recommend a 6# or 12#
A blue marker or paint
White star stickers or star-shaped paper cut outs
Optional glitter for sparkle
Craft glue
Wooden craft or popsicle sticks
Red and white party streamers
Yarn, string, or twine
Step One:
Color or paint the entire paper grocery bag blue and allow it to dry. If you wish to glitter your bag, lightly sprinkle the glitter over the blue paint before it dries.
Step Two:
Adhere your white or silver star decorations all over your painted paper bag. If you have used craft glue, allow it to dry.

Cut a small hole in the bottom of the paper grocery bag.
Step Four:
Insert your string through the hole in your paper grocery bag and tie it securely to your popsicle stick. Tie the opposite side of the string to a second popsicle stick.
Step Five:

Glue your white and red streamers to the inside edges of the paper bag.
Step Six:
Now it’s time to give it a whirl. If conditions are not ideal for flying a kite, it’s still fun for kids to swing it around or use them party décor!
