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.

Ghost Wreath

[Halloween Origami] Easy Ghost Wreath Folding Tutorial with Voice Commentary ☆ Origami Halloween Ghost Wreath Tutorial / Tatsukuri

This is a ghost wreath that’s perfect for Halloween decorations.

The design, which looks like ghosts spinning around, is unique, isn’t it? The ghost origami is basically simple to make.

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

Make six of these ghost pieces, connect them with paper clips to form a wreath shape, and you’re done.

You can also draw your favorite faces to create your own original ghosts!

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.

Pumpkin box

[Halloween Origami] Pumpkin Box, Ghost Box

Many origami creations are flat, but this pumpkin origami is three-dimensional and box-shaped—and the lid is cleverly shaped like a hat.

If you use orange origami paper, it becomes a pumpkin; if you use white, it becomes a ghost—so you can create various Halloween motifs just by changing the color of the paper.

You can also place small candies or trinkets inside the finished piece.

The pointy hat lid is adorable, too—try making it with black or purple origami paper and set it on top of the box!

bat

Origami: Bat 2

Here’s an origami bat that’s perfect for Halloween events at nurseries and kindergartens.

Display it together with pumpkins and ghosts to create a festive Halloween atmosphere.

Prepare black origami paper, then first fold it in half so a vertical crease is formed.

After making the crease, open the paper horizontally and fold it in half again.

Next, fold the paper back until the corner sticks out slightly, then fold the left and right corners toward the center corner.

Open the folded left and right sections to set the creases, then flip the piece over and fold back the top corner to finish.

Adding eye pieces is also a cute crafting idea.
