Cute Halloween headbands: Popular easy DIY ideas (1–10)
3 Picks of Halloween Headbands
We’re introducing three types of headbands recommended for Halloween.
You can make a ribbon, cat ears, and a tiara using just felt and double-sided tape.
They’re easy to customize and safe for small children to make, so we highly recommend them! The basic materials are just a headband, felt, and double-sided tape.
If you buy them at a 100-yen shop, you can get everything for under 500 yen.
These three picks are especially recommended when you want to finish the project quickly or make it together with your child.
pumpkin
The pumpkin headband is full of Halloween vibes and cuteness, and it’s so easy to make that even little kids can join in.
All you need are a headband, two colors of yarn—orange and green for the stem—green felt for the leaves, and some pipe cleaners to wrap around.
You can get everything at a 100-yen shop.
Making several pom-pom pumpkins in slightly different sizes is adorable, too.
And if you make the pumpkins not only in orange but also in black or purple, it might boost the Halloween feel even more!

Choose a plain headband without decorations, and furry-type yarn is recommended.
First, glue the yarn to one end of the headband and wrap it around to cover the entire surface.
Next, shape the wire into cat ears and attach it to the headband.
Tie the yarn to the wire, wrap it around to cover the ears, and glue the ends to finish the base.
Attach bells to the ribbon and decorate any part of the headband you like.
Adding pearls to the ears will give it a more luxurious look.

The most common headbands you see are the cat-ear type.
They’re easy to make and cute, but I worry they’ll get lost in the crowd.
So why not add a touch of princess flair with a little extra effort? Try mixing a basic 100-yen shop headband with 100-yen frills and a 100-yen princess headband—you’ll have fun crafting a headband that’s uniquely your own kind of cute.
It’ll definitely match whether you’re at Disneyland or USJ.
Since you can make it with items from the 100-yen shop, it’s super affordable.
Matching outfits with friends would be great, too.

A chic, Haunted Mansion–style Minnie Mouse headband.
For the ears, sew fabric together and insert foam sheets and stuffing to give them firmness and a rounded shape.
Sew the ears onto a fabric-covered headband base, then attach a lace-and-leather bow.
Finish by adding a name tag.
It takes a bit of time to make, but once you do, you’ll have a sturdy headband you can use again and again.
Try making it with your favorite fabrics!
Hamikuma headband
Hamukuma is an original USJ character that appears at Universal Studios Japan’s Halloween Horror Nights.
You’ve started seeing Hamukuma merch outside of USJ, too.
Right in the heart of Halloween, a Hamukuma headband is sure to grab attention.
The key is to attach a spring to one eye so it dangles and boings down; of course, the eyeball should be blue.
Make the teeth a bit crooked, and stick some dried fake blood around the mouth to amp up the vibe even more! If you’re good at crafting, definitely give it a try!
Colorful headbands made with hair ties
Orange, purple, and black are called Halloween colors.
A headband using these three colors will really make your Halloween costume stand out.
Thread Halloween-colored hair ties onto the headband and secure them.
Attach hair ties along the entire headband, feed them through from one end, and pull them tight.
Repeat this process, then add decorative beads or pearls to finish.
It’s easy to make, so it’s a great project for kids.
The fluffy, braided look of the hair ties is super cute.
