[For Seniors] Fun Halloween wall decorations: from ghosts and pumpkins to spiders and castles (1–10)
hanging Halloween decorations
Here’s a hanging pumpkin decoration I recommend for anyone who wants to make a three-dimensional Halloween ornament.
Prepare one sheet of orange construction paper and cut it into strips about 1 cm wide.
Gather the strips together and punch holes at the top and bottom.
Thread them onto a chenille stem (pipe cleaner) with one end bent so it won’t slip off.
Twist the pipe cleaner at the point where the paper forms a half-circle, then fan the strips out and shape them into a pumpkin.
The pipe cleaner will be the vine, so curl it into spirals.
Attach facial features made from black construction paper, tie a thread to hang it, and you’re done!
Halloween letter garland
Here’s a Halloween letter garland that will instantly boost the festive vibe when you hang it in your room! Both the garland base and the letter pieces are made entirely from origami paper.
First, fold the top and both side edges of the base origami 2 cm inward.
Make a slit in the center of the bottom edge, then open it outward to align with the bottom corners to form the garland shape.
For the letters, cut another sheet of origami into four strips.
Fold the two long edges toward the center line, then shape them into letters.
Once you’ve made all the letters for “HAPPY HALLOWEEN,” attach them to the base one by one, string the garland on a cord, and hang it up!
Halloween witch girl
Perfect for Halloween! Let’s make a decoration of a little witch.
Cut out the face, body, hat, and broom parts from construction paper and glue them together.
You can download free templates, so use those to finish it up.
If you change the hat decorations or hairstyle, you can express different kinds of witches.
When displaying it on a wall, decorating it together with a moon, a witch’s house, or ghosts will make it an even lovelier Halloween decoration.
Coming up with your own variations is part of the fun of this craft time.
Felt Halloween decorations
Here’s a DIY idea for a Halloween garland using felt from a 100-yen shop.
Basically, you’ll cut out pieces from the felt and glue them together.
The examples include a pumpkin, ghost, and black cat, but feel free to use any Halloween-themed motifs you like, such as a witch or a bat.
Once finished, attach the pieces to a string at equal intervals and hang them up to decorate your room.
It’s helpful to have templates when cutting out the parts, so make them in advance using thick paper.
Paper core bat
These bats are incredibly handy when decorating a room with a Halloween vibe.
Make plenty of them and they’ll look like a swarm, boosting the spookiness.
First, cut a toilet paper roll in half—leave it as is if you want a bigger bat—and cover it with black paper.
It’s a good idea to line the inside with black paper too.
For the wings, use cellophane or plastic and craft the shape.
Make the eyes a vivid yellow or gold to contrast with the black! If you decorate with fluorescent paint, they’ll glow in the dark.
These bats will spark all kinds of creative ideas!
Crescent moon × black cat × honeycomb pumpkin
A moon adorned with flowers and pumpkins… and a black cat standing there gives this wall decoration a truly mysterious feel.
This idea comes with templates, so start by downloading and printing them out.
Basically, you’ll cut out the pieces according to the templates and glue them together.
The honeycomb pumpkins and flowers are made three-dimensional by combining several parts.
There are many pieces, but the steps are simple, so take your time and complete it bit by bit.
Bats and ghosts made with a template
There are many Halloween-themed motifs, but ghosts and bats are classic staples! So this time, we’ll introduce ghosts and bats you can make using templates.
You can download the templates, cut them out with scissors, staple them onto construction paper, and then cut the paper into the shapes of the bat and ghost.
You can either cut out the facial features from construction paper the same way, or simply draw them with a pen.
If you decorate your wall with them together with a witch’s house and jack-o’-lanterns, your room will instantly transform into Halloween mode!
