How to Make a Torn Paper Frankenstein
Step 1: Create The Face
Use the provided Frankenstein template to draw a square or rectangular shape onto your purple cardstock. This will be the outline of Frankenstein’s face.
Step 2: Rip and Glue the Green Paper
Take your lime green paper and rip it into small pieces—no need to make them perfect! The rough edges give the craft character. Glue the green pieces within the face shape you drew on the purple cardstock, filling the space completely.
Step 3: Add the Hair and Details
Using the template, cut out Frankenstein’s hair from the black paper. Glue it to the top of the green face shape. Cut out the smile and any additional details like eyebrows or scars from the black paper as well. Use the gray paper to create bolts, gluing them on either side of Frankenstein’s head.
Step 3: Give Frankenstein a Face
Glue on the googly eyes to bring your Frankenstein to life! Use small circles of pink paper for his cheeks, placing them on either side of the smile.

- Use Different Background Colors: While purple cardstock works great, feel free to switch it up with different colors.
- Incorporate Textures: Try using different types of paper, such as tissue paper or construction paper, to add unique textures.
