Dory DIY: Make This Snack Bag Inspired by the New Pixar Movie
My two-year-old, Edie, loves Finding Nemo, so we’re really excited for Finding Dory to come out this summer. To start the fun a little early, we made this Dory snack bag that she can take to the movie and fill with her favorite treats. Best part, it’s all made from a regular brown paper sandwich bag and a few craft supplies you probably have around the house.
Supplies:
Brown paper lunch bag
Yellow craft felt
Twisty tie
Navy blue card stock paper
Large googly-eyed ball
Craft glue
Thin rope
Scissors
Sequins, glitter, other trinkets
Directions:
1. Take your brown paper bag and cut along the middle of one side about two-thirds of the way.
2. At the bottom of the bag, fold the edges in to make a more rounded Dory head.
3. Cinch the top of the bag (which will be Dory’s tail). We’ll add a twisty tie and yellow felt at the end when it’s all decorated.
4. Cut a rounded shape out of the blue card stock tracing the outline of the bag to make Dory’s blue head. Glue onto the bag.
5. Now it’s time to decorate! We added lines of glue and Edie helped decorate with sparkles, glitter, sequins and other colorful trinkets
6. Glue on the large Dory eyeball.
7. Cinch the tail with a triangle piece of yellow felt and the twisty tie.
8. Staple the rope to the back of Dory’s head and twist it into the twisty tie on her tail to a make a purse (optional)
