Easy and Cute! Handmade Halloween Accessories (1–10)
photo props
When it comes to must-have items for glamorous Halloween events and parties, photo props are at the top of the list.
Since they’re used during photo shoots, they’re perfect for Halloween, when everyone dresses up and gets excited together.
Stick clear stickers onto white thick paper and cut them out so that the white edges remain.
Attach a straw to the back and secure it with tape, and you’re done! With nothing more than clear stickers from the 100-yen shop featuring Halloween-themed characters, you can create photogenic props.
Origami: Jack-o’-lantern
How about making a Jack-o’-lantern out of origami, the iconic character of Halloween? Using orange origami paper, let’s create a Halloween-themed papercraft.
First, make multiple identical pieces that will form the pumpkin parts.
Glue the same pieces together and then gently fan them outwards to form the pumpkin.
Next, cut out and attach the eyes, mouth, and nose using black origami paper, and finish by adding a vine made from brown paper.
The result is three-dimensional, making it a perfect decoration to brighten up Halloween parties and events.
Halloween mobile
A handmade accessory that’s a Halloween-themed twist on a mobile, a type of kinetic art.
Prepare templates for jack-o’-lanterns and ghosts, and pick up construction paper and thread from a dollar store.
Attach the cut-out template pieces to the construction paper, then start by cutting out any sections that need to be hollowed.
Next, cut along the outlines, glue on the thread, and connect the parts.
Finally, attach the hanging thread at the top, and you’re done! The gently swaying, cute characters will create a festive Halloween atmosphere.

Candy pot
A handmade accessory that lets you take candy out of a gashapon-style pot and eat it.
How about placing Halloween-themed versions at parties or event venues? Paint an upside-down flowerpot or can, and attach a knob to a pre-drilled hole in the center.
Use a hot glue gun to secure a jar to the flowerpot or can, and your item is complete! Fill it with your favorite treats like candies or gummies and enjoy.
Try making this DIY accessory that turns even the act of eating sweets into part of the event.
Amigurumi for Halloween
If you want to make handmade Halloween accessories with a gentle, friendly feel, Halloween amigurumi is a great choice.
You knit yarn to create facial and body parts and assemble Halloween characters.
By repeating stitches like double crochet, single crochet, and slip stitch, you’ll crochet the pieces using a hook and a tapestry needle.
Since these amigurumi come with loops, they’re cute as ornaments or lined up together for display.
How about making warm, cozy items like a pure-white ghost wearing a hat or a pumpkin?
Halloween garland
It’s also a great idea to give a wall-hugging garland a Halloween twist.
Use colorful construction paper, jute twine, and glitter ribbon.
Cut out silhouettes of witches, pumpkins, and ghosts from the paper, then add expressions to the characters with pens or stickers.
Punch holes, thread them in order, and stick the garland to the wall to finish! Decorating the string sections between the illustrations with ribbon will make it look even more festive.
Give it a try and create an item that will liven up your Halloween events and parties.
Halloween beaded accessories
For anyone who wants to make festive and cute Halloween items, small accessories using beads are a great choice.
You create them by threading line through monofilament and tying it repeatedly.
Use differences in bead color and size to add a three-dimensional effect.
Among small craft projects, this one encourages long periods of focused work, making it perfect for children’s education and brain training for seniors.
You can create pieces with the unique translucence that only beads provide.
