Let's make and display! Origami perfect for Halloween (1–10)
church
A church made of origami is a perfect item for Halloween—it exudes a mysterious atmosphere just by displaying it alongside witch costumes and other Halloween decorations.
It’s also nice that it can be made with simple steps, like “folding a triangle back to make a square, then turning that into a tall rectangle.” For a finishing touch, try attaching a silver cross accessory—something you can even get at a 100-yen shop—to the top of the castle; it instantly transforms into a more authentic decoration.
skeleton
When it comes to cool Halloween motifs, “skeletons” are hard to beat, right? Here’s a Halloween origami idea that turns a typically spooky skeleton into something cute.
Kids can enjoy it without feeling scared, so it’s perfect for the Halloween season.
For the skeleton’s eyes and nose, you can either paste on pieces of origami paper cut with a craft punch or simply draw them with a pen.
Using glow-in-the-dark origami paper can be fun, too.
It’s relatively easy to make an adorable skeleton, so enjoy decorating with them at school or at home.
Spider web
We’re introducing a Halloween origami “spiderweb” that makes a striking, eye-catching accent for your Halloween decorations.
Fold the paper and cut with scissors—fun to make and adorable to display! The step where you sketch a guide and cut with scissors can be detailed and challenging.
Be sure to draw a clear draft, and consider shading the sections to be removed so it’s easy to understand where to cut.
It will look gorgeous not only in black, but also with Halloween colors like purple and orange, or with shiny origami paper in gold or silver!
bat
Bats with their eerie image are a classic Halloween motif, aren’t they? How about trying Halloween origami that transforms those dark-looking bats into something cute? It’s also great for folding while playing with your kids.
The charm is that you can make one easily with a single sheet of origami paper! You can use colorful papers like pastels, or of course go with dark shades like black or gray.
If you decorate your school with them for Halloween, they might draw some attention.
jack-o’-lantern
If you have orange origami paper, the one I’d love you to try is the jack-o’-lantern.
It’s that spooky pumpkin with a carved face—an essential character for Halloween.
Some steps involve fine folds, so it might be a bit tricky for small children, but it should be fine with a little help from mom or dad.
Once it’s folded, draw the face with a pen to finish it off.
You could even fold a hat out of black origami paper.
Definitely try making it as a Halloween decoration!
