Cute Halloween headbands: Popular DIY ideas you can easily make (21–30)
Animal ears
You can even make headbands with ears that look like real animal ears by hand! Cut shape-memory plastic sheets that can be reshaped with heat into the ear shape of your favorite animal.
Trace the same ear shape onto the back of a realistic fur fabric, cut it out slightly larger, and prepare two pieces per ear.
While heating the plastic sheet, form the ear’s curve.
Place the right sides of the fabric together and sew, then turn it inside out so the fur side faces outward.
Next, insert the plastic sheet inside, secure it with adhesive, and trim the fur length to match the animal’s look—the ear parts are done.
Attach them to a headband and transform into an animal!
Made with balloons! Ribbon headband
For those who want to stand out with a unique costume, balloon ribbons are highly recommended.
This headband features a cute, plump, voluminous balloon look.
First, get a headband from a 100-yen shop.
Plastic ones with non-slip grips are easy to use.
Prepare two long, thin balloons and inflate them, leaving about 10 cm uninflated at the ends.
Then twist the tied ends together to connect them and form a bow shape.
Using balloons made from a slightly glossy material will make them look even plumper—highly recommended!
maid headband
A lace paper doily for cakes transforms instantly into a headband! Cut out the center of the doily, then divide it into two half-circles.
For the headband base, cut a sheet of black origami paper in half, fold each piece into a narrow strip, and glue them together.
While pleating the lace doily, attach it so that it fits within half the width of the relatively thick base.
Fold and glue to sandwich the pleats, then adjust the angle so the lace portion stands upright.
Finally, attach elastic bands to both ends of the base for size adjustment, and you’re done.
It’s perfect for a maid outfit, too.
Mall Tiara
Let’s make a cute headband easily using felt and lace! Fold the corners of a piece of felt, then fold it again so that, viewed from the side, it forms an M shape.
Gather and secure the center tightly with masking tape, and you’ll have a big bow headband.
If you attach felt to cardboard cut into cat-ear shapes and fix them to the headband, it transforms into an adorable black cat with little ears! You can also give it a tiara-like look by simply attaching folded lace to the center of the headband.
Add a mesh strainer bag at the back as a wedding veil, and it’ll be perfect for a princess costume.
Devil’s Horns
When it comes to classic Halloween costumes, devils are a staple.
Just by putting on devil horns, you can easily create a cute costume.
There are several ways to make the horns: you can cut and roll thick paper or construction paper, or shape them with wire and cover them with felt.
Choose the method that suits the horn shape you like.
Adding decorations is an easy way to make it unique, too.
Attach a mini ribbon for a cute devil look, or add sequins for a glamorous devil style.
You can get all the materials at a 100-yen shop, so it’s budget-friendly.

The Disney animated series Star vs.
the Forces of Evil has been popular with girls since the 2010s.
The protagonist, Star Butterfly, is a free-spirited magical princess who comes to Earth from a kingdom of magic for training.
Her headband is popular because it’s easy to make cute, and when you think of Star Butterfly, you think of her signature two shock-pink pointy horns.
You can easily make them with cardstock or felt from a 100-yen shop, but if you care about materials, we recommend using faux leather sold at craft stores.
Make it with origami! Ghost headband
A fun Halloween headband you can make with your child while doing origami.
Fold an origami ghost and pumpkin, then draw faces on each.
Wrap masking tape around a headband so you can attach the origami pieces, then decorate it by placing the ghosts and pumpkins wherever you like—and you’re done.
Use colorful masking tape or add ribbons and sequins to make it even more glamorous! You can also stick the origami directly on the wall to create cute room decorations.
