Let's Make and Display! Origami Perfect for Halloween (21–30)
Dracula
Dracula, who appears in horror movies as a vampire, has a terrifying image of drinking human blood, doesn’t he? Here, we’ll introduce a Halloween origami that portrays Dracula in a pop and cute way.
Make the head and body separately and combine them at the end.
The distinctive ears, hair, and cape are wonderfully recreated, giving it a high-quality look! Adding a silk hat or a bow tie would make it even cuter.
Don’t you feel like bringing it to school on Halloween to show off? It’s sure to be a hit if you make it together with your child.
Perfect for Halloween! Halloween pumpkin

You can make an essential Halloween pumpkin with simple steps.
Fold the origami paper in half twice to make a square, then squash the pocketed sections to form two triangles.
Fold both side edges of the triangles toward the center line, flip the paper over, and fold the protruding corners inward.
Next, fold the left and right corners of the triangle toward the center line, then fold the newly created corners into small triangles to round the shape.
Finally, fold down the top corner, and fold it back so a little tip sticks up—your pumpkin is complete!
Witch hat for Halloween

Here’s an idea for making a chestnut in just seven folds.
First, to create the creases, fold the origami paper in half into a square twice.
Once folded, open it with the colored side facing up.
Fold the bottom edge up to meet the center crease, then flip the paper over and fold both top corners in toward the center.
Finally, fold both bottom corners toward the center to finish.
Turn the origami to the front, and if you draw small black dots on the white part with a pen, it will look even more like a chestnut—highly recommended.
If you want a rounder shape, lightly fold the corners to the back.
Origami Halloween pumpkin

Here’s an origami idea for fallen leaves that also helps kids practice using scissors.
Place the colored side up and fold the paper into a triangle.
Next, make accordion folds from the left edge in 1 cm widths.
Once the accordion folds are done, unfold back to the triangle and fold up the base diagonally so that the left side becomes thicker.
Fold the top corners outward into small triangles, then slowly open the paper.
Tuck the triangular corner tips to the back to shape it like a leaf.
Open the white section on the left edge, make a slit on the opposite side, and form the leaf stem.
After that, add small cuts or folds as you like to give it the look of a fallen leaf.

After folding the paper into a square using the zabuton fold, lift two of the corners gathered at the center to make the cat’s ears.
Fold the corners sticking out from the base of the ears inward, then tuck in the remaining corners to shape the face.
Flip the paper over, and your cute cat is complete! Draw the face and whiskers to finish it off.
The vibe changes depending on the color of the paper, so try making it in your favorite color.
If you pop a witch’s hat on it, it might feel even more Halloween-y!
