Halloween Vampire Craft Project

What You Will Need

A can or other round object
Construction paper
Craft glue
Box tape
Google eyes
Black marker
Scissors
Black trash bat

Use a round object to trace a circle on some white construction paper. Cut out the circle.

Draw an identical circle on some black construction paper. Cut off the top and the sides of the circle. Use craft glue to adhere this to your white circle, creating hair and sideburns.

Draw some lips on a piece of red construction paper. Draw a line down the middle of the lips with the marker, and cut out the lips. Make two white fangs and glue them onto the lips.

Make a small nose out of a triangle of red construction paper. Glue these features and the google eyes onto your vampire's face.

Cut off the top part of a trash bag. Make some slices in the bottom of the bag so that it creates a jagged edge. Open the trash bag, then re-fold it so that the jags overlap slightly. Tape the trash bag at the top, then fold over the edges at the top so it almost creates a triangle. Tape this to the back of your vampire's head.

Take two of the remaining pieces of cut-out trash bag, and tape them to the back of the vampire's head, creating a collar.
