Easy Ghost Origami Instructions
Here’s an origami ghost that’s perfect for autumn Halloween.
Prepare one sheet of origami paper and fold it into a triangle.
Then fold the left and right corners in toward the center line.
Tuck the loose, fluttery corner downwards.
Fold the whole piece toward the center line, then fold the tip downward to shape it into a ghost.
If you fold the bottom part of the ghost at an angle, it adds movement and makes a cute ghost.
Once it’s finished, draw a face and stick it on a Halloween bag or wand to enjoy!
ghost
Here’s how to make a ghost.
Prepare one sheet of origami paper and let’s get started.
Fold the paper into a square and crease it to make a cross.
Fold the left and right sides toward the center, then fold the top and bottom corners toward the creases.
Add diagonal creases and unfold.
Using the creases as guides, fold each half while gently puffing it up.
Open the top-right triangle to puff it up and fold, then fold the ghost’s arms.
The key is to fold the left and right arms so they puff out and form trapezoid shapes.
Fold the top and bottom corners, flip it over, tuck both arms inward, and you’re done.
Give it a try!

Just like a real bat! Here’s an idea for a flapping bat.
Bats are nocturnal and often rest during the day in caves, gaps in trees, or attics, but many children are familiar with them from Halloween illustrations and picture books.
This time, let’s make a flapping bat with origami.
All you need is origami paper cut to half size.
The steps are simple and easy to follow, so once kids learn the folds, they’ll likely be able to make one on their own!
