    Hi, I don't quite understand the folding and gluing of the paperpag? Could you please be more specific about that, as in vertical or horizontal fold and where in relation to the bag opening?? TIA

      Hi Lisa, Thank you for your question! The cutouts are designed to fit on a paper bag folded in half vertically, with the opening at the bottom. I have updated the instructions and added a video that demonstrates the paper bag pirate puppets being made. Please don't hesitate to ask if you have any additional questions. Kind regards, Cassie (Teach Starter)
