Halloween flower arrangement
When it comes to items that can make Halloween parties and event venues feel festive, flower arrangements are a top choice.
You can easily create them using Halloween goods and flowers from a 100-yen shop.
Prepare the base by attaching a cut organza skirt to a paper cup.
Insert flowers, leaves, and branches so that they gather toward the center.
Decorating with ornaments themed in orange, white, and black will enhance the Halloween vibe.
It’s also recommended to choose a concept—like ghosts or pumpkins—and create your flower arrangement around it.
Felt Ghost
Handmade accessories crafted with soft, fluffy wool felt.
Create a little ghost by wrapping the felt and repeatedly needle-felting it.
Make each part—hands, feet, body—separately, then connect them one by one with the needle.
You can get everything you need with a 100-yen shop kit, and it comes with instructions, so it’s great for beginners.
The uniquely fluffy texture and look of felt make for an adorable piece.
It would be fun to take commemorative photos with classic Halloween props too.
Halloween donuts from Mister Donut made with paper clay
Handmade accessories that recreate Mister Donut’s Halloween donuts using paper clay.
You can easily make them with clay molds and paper clay from the 100-yen shop, so they’re perfect for kids’ crafts, too.
Shape the clay into donuts, smooth it with a toothbrush, and carve patterns with a carving knife.
Mix glue and paint to create a sauce, brush it onto the donuts, and let it dry to finish! If you draw eyes on resin clay with a ballpoint pen and stick them on, you’ll get donuts with expressive faces.
Try making handmade fake sweets together with children or seniors.
Balloon Ghost
For those looking for items to brighten up a festive Halloween scene, balloon ghosts are highly recommended.
They’re easy to make—just draw on inflated balloons or stick on some decals.
Prepare balloons in colors like white, black, and orange, and create designs inspired by classic Halloween characters! Because balloons are naturally round, adding just a few facial features gives them an adorable look.
It’s also a great idea to hand out inflated balloons and have children or seniors draw illustrations on them.
witch’s hat
A handmade accessory: a stylish witch’s hat crafted from paper.
It’s the perfect item for a dark yet glamorous Halloween scene.
Cut solid black Tant paper using a protractor, ruler, and compass, then glue the parts together to form the hat.
For the decorative flowers, punch shapes with a craft punch and layer them to create a three-dimensional effect.
Attach the finely fringed feather and the flowers to the hat, and it’s complete! Simply pop it on a stuffed animal or doll you have at home to instantly bring out the Halloween vibe.
magic wand
When it comes to handmade accessories that capture a whimsical fantasy vibe, a magic wand fits the bill.
It’s also well-known as an item used by witches, iconic characters of Halloween.
To make one, start by applying black hot glue around a pair of chopsticks, wrapping it as you go.
Attach a piece of wire to the top of the chopsticks and apply hot glue there as well.
The trick is to wrap while letting it cool slightly so you can adjust the thickness.
Place a marble on the tip of the wire and secure it with hot glue—that’s it! Dust with baby powder and blend it in with a brush for a smoother finish.
You can also enjoy various customizations by using acrylic paints or adding decorative elements.

Easy: Paper Cup Headband
A headband made by arranging a paper cup.
Paint the paper cup and attach an elastic band around the rim.
For example, paint it orange for a jack-o’-lantern or black for a bat.
Use origami or construction paper to finish the piece.
Just imagining the headband perched cutely on the head feels heartwarming.
Since paper cups are easy to find, it seems simple to make.
It’s a headband that even small children can enjoy making, whether painting with paints or using construction paper and origami.
