Here’s a great idea for anyone who wants to enjoy paper cutting while making colorful decorations.
First, stick small, finely cut pieces of colorful cellophane onto a sheet of white paper.
Next, fold a piece of black origami paper into a triangle and use a template to draw designs like spiderwebs, pumpkins, or bats.
Cut them out with scissors and glue them onto the white paper with the cellophane you prepared.
Trim off any excess, and your decoration is complete.
It looks beautiful when the light shines through, so why not display it by a window?
Ghosts and Spiders
A piece that combines a ghost and a spider is packed with Halloween vibes and looks perfect for livening up a party! Prepare one sheet of origami paper, then fold it into a triangle three times.
Next, sketch the ghost and the spider, and cut along the lines with scissors.
After that, unfold it and you’re done! The spider’s legs will end up thin, so be careful not to cut them by mistake when using the scissors, and avoid tearing them when you open it up.
Don’t forget to draw the ghost’s face afterward, too.
Pumpkins and candy
If you want a whimsical and cute paper-cut decoration, we recommend this one featuring a pumpkin and lollipops.
First, fold origami paper into a triangle, then fold both sides inward so it looks like a bouquet or a crepe.
Next, sketch the pumpkin and the candy, and cut along the lines.
The candy’s stick will be thin, so be careful not to cut it off or tear it.
Once you’ve trimmed away the unwanted parts, open it up and you’re done! Don’t forget to add a spiral pattern to the candy so it looks like a swirly lollipop.
Pumpkin Tower
Fold the left and right edges of the origami together, crease well, then open it.
Fold the left and right edges to meet the crease, and then fold along the creases to collapse it.
If the paper is folded into quarters, you’re good.
Next, draw large and small pumpkins stacked in four layers and cut them out with scissors.
When you open it, you’ll have two pumpkin towers side by side.
Making lots of them with colorful origami will create a festive Halloween decoration.
Try adding variations too, like changing the pumpkins’ expressions.
