Let’s make and display! Origami perfect for Halloween (41–50)
plump pumpkin
In this article, we’ve introduced several three-dimensional pumpkin origami designs, but this “puffy pumpkin” is the one with a flat design among them.
It resembles the flat designs you often see on the internet.
Although it may look intricate, it’s actually less difficult than the other 3D pumpkin origami pieces.
There are relatively many folds, but the folding steps themselves are simple, so why not try making it together with your child?
Halloween paper fan
Why not try making a Halloween-themed paper fan, a classic decoration for parties? Divide a standard sheet of origami paper into four equal parts and use three pieces folded in an accordion style.
If dividing into quarters feels like too much work, you can save time by using smaller-sized origami paper.
Any steps involving scissors or a craft knife should always be done by an adult.
You can have the kids do the accordion folding, and let an adult assemble the pieces into a paper fan! Decorate them with Halloween motifs—orange for a jack-o’-lantern, black for a black cat or bat, and white for a mummy—to enjoy a festive look.
A ghost pumpkin wearing a hat
While simple pumpkin shapes or paper crafts can create plenty of Halloween atmosphere, if you want a more authentic origami vibe, this pumpkin ghost with a hat is recommended.
It’s an origami project where you make the pumpkin part and the hat part separately, and since many of the folds are similar to those for a paper crane, elementary school children should be able to make it without any trouble.
In the video, they cut purple paper and place it on black origami to create the hat’s pattern, but using white origami and coloring it black and purple is also a great option.
Art frame made with origami
Some of you may enjoy origami as a hobby.
For you, we recommend a Halloween-themed art frame made with origami! Since you’ll be making lots of small parts from paper, it takes a bit of time and effort, but the result is a stylish, beautiful piece—so give it a try.
Using two Halloween-colored papers, such as black and orange, fold lots of lilies.
Layer the two papers to create lily components, arrange them in a circle, and mount them in your favorite frame to finish! You can also crumple the paper first to add a distressed texture for an extra Halloween vibe.
Display it in your living room or entryway to boost the Halloween mood.
3D pumpkin
As an ambitious origami project, let’s make a 3D pumpkin using six sheets of origami paper! Using the paper balloon folding method, create six identical pieces.
There are a few somewhat intricate steps, but as you repeat the same folds, you’ll get the hang of it.
Once you’ve made six paper balloons, use double-sided tape to attach them together, pressing the insides to shape them into a pumpkin.
Finish by making the pumpkin’s vine from a small piece of green origami paper and attaching it.
