  3. Follow the same process on both side panels. Dry 1 hour.
  4. Repeat Steps 1-3 on 7 more paper bags. Use markers to decorate with no dry time.
  5. Hold a folded, decorated paper bag with open end at top. Make an upside-down "T" on the large panel with glue. Put another paper bag on top and press down. Repeat up until the last bag has been adhered.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Terrible instructions If I could give this -5 star I would. Where is the pattern to make this craft. Making a "T" pattern does not make sense. please provide a pattern so I can actually make the craft. Thank you

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Paper Bag Star In general I like video tutorials and so agree with the other 2 reviews on that point. That being said, I am an experienced paper crafter and my only real question is: how many paper bags were used or are recommended to get a "full" star effect?

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Where's the pattern? I was interested in this project and thought I could use double-sided decorative paper on it. But with no pattern, just the description make a "T" is not enough. Please redo and include a pattern.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from HUH? Appears someone without a command of the English language wrote these directions. No way to follow these and do this project which looks super fun and cute. What a shame. Crayola....what's happened to you??

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Too difficult to follow Agree that the directions are too much to follow without a video or picture tutorial.
