Let’s make and display them! Origami perfect for Halloween (11–20)
witch
Among Halloween motifs, one of the cutest and most popular characters for costumes is the witch, isn’t it? Here’s a Halloween origami project where you can make a witch out of a single sheet of paper.
Amazingly, the hat, face, and body are all made from just one sheet! It features a long-haired witch girl in a black dress—perfect as a little accent for your Halloween decorations.
Try using not only black origami paper but also Halloween colors like purple and orange to make it even more festive! There are a few fine folds, but it’s a fun craft to make together with your kids.
black cat
The mysterious-looking “black cat” is perfect for Halloween decorations and ornaments! Here’s a very easy Halloween origami project that even kids can make.
You’ll create the cat’s head and body separately and combine them at the end.
The video doesn’t show a face being drawn, but you might like to add the black cat’s distinctive eyes, nose, and mouth! If you use Halloween-colored origami paper—not just black, but also purple, orange, or white—it will make for a more festive decoration.
Making Halloween decorations together as a parent and child will create lasting memories, so definitely give it a try!
ghost
How about folding a realistic “ghost” perfect for Halloween decorations using just one sheet of origami paper? There are many ways to picture a ghost, but in this video we show how to make one that’s a little spooky while still being cute.
By shaping details like the ghost’s hands and tail realistically, the origami has a sense of movement.
Some steps are a bit complex, so young children should try making it with help from their parents! Draw the ghost’s face at the end and you’re done.
Create your own ghost with a unique personality.
witch’s hat
As a Halloween motif, the witch hat may be a supporting player, but it’s an indispensable item.
A big plus is that it pairs well with other motifs like pumpkins, Dracula, and ghosts! It’s super easy to make, so it’s great for crafting with kids or for preschool and kindergarten activities.
You can customize it freely—not just black, but Halloween colors like purple and orange, or patterned origami.
It’s also fun to make them in various sizes, so be sure to give it a try!
Haunted house
How about making an origami haunted house to create a spooky Halloween atmosphere? If you make one haunted house and like it, make a second identical one and fold the two back-to-back to combine them.
That alone will easily make it look much more impressive.
Display it together with ghosts, witches, and skeletons to heighten the eerie vibe! Besides origami paper, you only need scissors and glue, so a haunted house is highly recommended even for those who aren’t confident with origami.
