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?

ruffous horseshoe bat

[3,000,000 views ✨] Easy Flapping Bat Made with Origami

Just like a real bat! Here’s an idea for a flapping bat.

Bats are nocturnal and often rest during the day in caves, gaps in trees, or attics, but many children are familiar with them from Halloween illustrations and picture books.

This time, let’s make a flapping bat with origami.

All you need is origami paper cut to half size.

The steps are simple and easy to follow, so once kids learn the folds, they’ll likely be able to make one on their own!

[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.
