Handmade Halloween lanterns with everyday materials! Revealing super easy ideas!

A lantern where you can meet ghosts

You can meet ghosts on Halloween! Want to boost the Halloween fun by making a mysterious lantern like that? First, take a piece of black construction paper cut into a half-circle and draw the ghost you want to meet.

Cut out the drawing with a craft knife, then attach colored cellophane in your favorite color.

If you want a white ghost, transparent cellophane is recommended.

Next, add the ghost’s face as you like, then roll the paper into a cone shape—and you’re done! Put a light inside and turn off the room lights, and you’ll have lots of ghosts appearing all around the room!

This project creates a spooky, glowing picture that emerges from an aluminum can—perfect for a full-on Halloween vibe.

First, sketch the picture you want to illuminate with the lantern onto white paper.

Next, tape the sketch onto the side of an aluminum can and use a safety pin to poke holes along the lines, tracing the drawing by making tiny perforations in the can.

Then, open up the can’s drinking spout area to make a larger opening, wrap tape around the cut edge to avoid injury, place a light inside, and cover the top with paper to finish.

Try making different designs and sizes, and display lots of them!

Color wrap Halloween lantern

If you want to do a Halloween craft with your child, this lantern is a great pick! First, stick double-sided tape to the bottom of a clear cup.

Next, wrap colored plastic wrap around the entire cup as if covering it.

If you want to make a Jack-o’-lantern, layer two sheets each of yellow and red wrap to create orange.

Tidy up the edges of the wrap, stick on the face parts, and place a light inside to finish.

Adding a witch’s hat or ribbon made from construction paper makes it even cuter, so feel free to customize it however you like!

Garland-style lantern

@chii_1514m

[Halloween Craft] Stick-on Tissue Paper Halloween Garland 👻 Add a light and it becomes a Jack-o'-Lantern 🎃#Production video#Kindergarten#Nursery schoolHow-to videoWall decoration# Halloween Craft#Autumn Productionlantern#Garland#CapCut

♬ Happy Halloween – Junky

This garland-style one will instantly transform your room into a spooky Halloween atmosphere! First, inflate a small balloon, then tear tissue paper into ragged pieces and randomly paste a mix of different colors onto the balloon using liquid starch or laundry glue.

Once the glue dries, remove the balloon from inside, then trim the opening into a neat circle.

Next, attach jack-o’-lantern face pieces made from construction paper, and you’re done.

String several of these together with thread, and place lights inside—now you’ve got a garland-style lantern.

A lantern made from a soft-serve ice cream lid

@mie_kidsart

With that thing we ate a lot of in summer! Easy Halloween lantern 👻🎃 Free materials available♪# Halloween Craft#Halloween decorations#Halloween craftsTranslationScrap Material Crafting#ScrapMaterialPlay#UpcycledMaterials#I tried making it with 100-yen store items#100-yen shop DIY#100-yen shop

When you buy store-bought soft-serve ice cream at supermarkets or convenience stores, it often comes with a clear lid.

A lantern using this lid is easy to try, so be sure to make one with your child.

First, draw Halloween-themed illustrations—like jack-o’-lanterns or ghosts—on construction paper or origami paper and cut them out.

It’s best to keep each drawing on the small side.

Then simply stick the drawings to the inside of the lid, and you’re done.

Put a light inside and display it in your room!

Lantern made with a plastic bottle and a balloon

@sapi_mama_asobi

Let's make a Jack-o'-lantern with a plastic bottle#AtOurPlacePlay#ParentChildTimePlastic bottle craftsCraft PlayHalloween

♬ Exciting, exciting, cute songs(1283711) – Korepoi

Use a plastic bottle as if you were inflating it.

Choose a bottle that’s as soft as possible.

Make about nine slits along the sides, then insert a balloon through the bottle’s mouth.

In this state, inflate the balloon.

The slits in the bottle will work nicely to create a pumpkin-like shape.

Use a balloon with a built-in light, such as those sold at 100-yen shops.

Tie the balloon’s neck, screw the bottle cap back on, and stick on the Jack-o’-lantern face pieces to finish.

Halloween lantern made with thread

This one, where you wrap string around a balloon, is fun right from the making process.

First, thread a needle and poke it into a bottle of white glue to coat the thread with glue.

Wrap the glue-coated thread around an inflated balloon until there are hardly any gaps left.

Once you finish wrapping and the glue has dried, pop the balloon inside and remove it.

At the opening where you took the balloon out, make a small cut with scissors and spread it slightly in a radial shape, trimming it so it looks like the rim of a bowl.

After that, stick on parts for jack-o’-lanterns or ghost faces around the outside as you like, and you’re done! Put a light inside and display it.
