Let's Make and Display! Origami Perfect for Halloween

[Origami] Transforming Jack-o’-Lantern Cube

A stretchy, transforming cube that’s super fun for Halloween! It’s also a great idea for at-home time or fall crafts, so try making it together as a parent–child activity.

Use two sheets of origami paper to create one cube, then combine as many cubes as you like.

Folding the cube itself isn’t too difficult, but the key is to be careful not to mix up how you connect the two origami parts.

After that, just glue together as many cubes as you want, and you’re done.

You can decorate them with pumpkin or ghost faces, too.

Twist and stretch the cubes as you play!

Pumpkin and ghost in one shot

[Halloween Origami] Pumpkin and Ghost with One Sheet of Paper [ハロウィン折り紙] 1枚でカボチャとおばけ

When people hear “Halloween,” many probably picture pumpkins and ghosts.

That’s why I recommend this piece: “Pumpkin and Ghost with a Single Sheet.” As the title suggests, it’s a simple art project that lets you create both a pumpkin and a ghost using just one sheet of paper.

The shapes look intricate, but the folding itself is straightforward, so even young children whose fine motor skills are still developing can make it.

In the video, the facial features are drawn with a pen, but depending on the type of origami paper, the ink may bleed or the color may not adhere well.

In that case, it’s also a good idea to cut the parts from a different sheet of origami and paste them on.

Three-tier pumpkin

[Halloween Origami] How to Make a 3-Tier Pumpkin Tower

This impactful three-tiered pumpkin, inspired by the iconic Halloween jack-o’-lantern, is made from origami.

First, fold the paper into a triangle to make a crease, then open it and fold the left and right corners toward the center.

Flip the paper over and fold toward the center line in the same way.

Fold the outer corners inward, then make creases above and below toward the center point.

Next, fold the paper step by step along the creases to create the three layers of the pumpkin.

Finally, fold in the top, bottom, left, and right corners to finish the pumpkin.

Try making it together with a three-year-old child for a fun activity.

Ghosts and pumpkins

[Halloween Origami] How to Make a Ghost with a Coffin and a Ghost with a Pumpkin from One Sheet of Paper

Origami ideas featuring ghosts and pumpkins, classic Halloween characters.

The two pieces share the same steps up to a certain point, so they’re great for childcare settings where you make them together with kids.

First, fold the origami paper left and right to create crease lines.

Open the paper, then fold the bottom up to meet the center, and fold in the left and right sides as well.

Next, open the inner bottom section as you fold, then fold it back toward the center.

While opening the top part, fold it down, and finish by folding the paper on the back—done! With just one more fold of the left and right sections, you can also turn it into a coffin.

If it seems hard for a three-year-old, it’s recommended to add guiding marks as you fold.

Ghosts & Pumpkins

[Halloween Decorations] Easy with Origami! How to Fold “Ghosts & Pumpkins”

If just having ghosts in your Halloween decorations feels a bit lonely, how about making some pumpkins to go with them? The contrast between the ghosts’ white and the pumpkins’ orange really pops, so they’re great for decorating! Both can be folded with simple steps, which is part of their charm.

Since the pumpkin involves a step where you cut with scissors, please have an adult help if it’s difficult for a three-year-old.

You could stick them onto paper plates, or connect the origami pieces together to arrange them into a wreath—wouldn’t that look lovely?

pumpkin basket

[Halloween Origami] How to Make a Ghost [Easy Halloween Origami] Pumpkin Basket 🎃 Jack-o'-Lantern 🎃 Skeleton 💀 Bat 🦇 Tutorial | 종이접기 折纸 | 万圣节 幽灵

When it comes to origami, many people probably think that once you make something, it just gets left alone afterward.

It’s true that origami often ends up as a purely decorative object after you finish folding it.

That’s why I recommend this pumpkin basket.

It’s a pumpkin-shaped origami modeled after a basket.

While the instructions are a bit challenging, once you make it, you can use it as a play item for pretend games.

You can also customize it by changing the material used for the handle, so try creating this piece in various patterns.
