pumpkin ghost

[Easy! Kirigami] Halloween Pumpkin Ghost [With Voice Commentary] Let's make an easy and cute pumpkin decoration with paper cutting

Let’s make a jack-o’-lantern—the pumpkin decoration that symbolizes Halloween, a major autumn event—using origami.

The steps are simple: draw the outline of the character and its parts on an orange sheet of origami paper folded in half, then cut along the lines.

Since you can’t cut the eye area unless it’s folded again beyond the halfway point, first cut out the outline and mouth, then fold just the eye section in half and cut it.

This method ensures both sides are perfectly symmetrical, giving it a beauty that makes it suitable not only as a decorative piece but also as a sturdy base.

The steps are simple: fold the origami into a narrow triangle, draw the spider web lines you want to keep with a pen, and then cut along the areas around those lines with scissors.

By sketching the lines lightly on the back, you can preserve the color on the front, so it’s fun to choose which color spider web to make.
