How to Make Paper Claws | Paper Finger Claws

Creating paper claws can be a fun and simple craft project, perfect for costumes or just a bit of imaginative play. To make your very own paper finger claws, you'll need a few basic supplies: sturdy paper or cardstock, scissors, a pencil, and some adhesive tape or a glue stick.

Begin by drawing the shape of a claw on the paper. Think of a long, pointed triangle with a rounded base that fits your fingertip. Each claw should be about 15 centimetres long, but you can adjust the size to suit your preference. Cut out the claw shapes, ensuring you have enough for each finger you intend to equip.

Next, take a smaller piece of paper and cut out a strip that can wrap around your finger comfortably. Attach the claw to one end of this strip using tape or glue. Make sure it’s secure, as you’ll want your claws to stay in place during use.

Once all your claws are assembled, simply slip the finger strips onto your fingers like a ring. To add an extra touch, you can paint or decorate the claws with markers to give them a more realistic or fantastical look. Now you’re ready to prowl like a creature of the night, showing off your fearsome paper claws!
