Cut out the traced patterns nicely.

Attach the face cutout in the middle of the head pattern.
-
Attach the eyes and the blush cutouts on the face part of the head pattern.

Use a sharpie to draw the mouth and the nose of the Paper Bag Monkey.
-
Select a brown paper bag and cut out a piece of the darker shade of brown paper to cover the front side of the paper bag (either side can be the front).

Attach the tail on either side of the paper bag. Attach the belly cutout near the closed side of the bag, keeping the round edge inside.
