Halloween ghost
Speaking of autumn, Halloween is a favorite among children.
How about making ghosts that even one-year-olds can enjoy? Prepare the parts for the ghosts—eyes, mouth, hands, and so on—in advance, and put double-sided tape on the back.
First, attach a sponge to the end of a chopstick and secure it with a rubber band.
Dab white paint on the sponge and use it to draw big ghosts on black construction paper.
Next, peel the backing off the tape on the parts and hand them to the children so they can stick them on.
It’s best to let them be as free as they like, both when drawing the ghosts and when placing the parts.
You’ll end up with wonderfully unique and adorable ghosts!
Spider web
Around Halloween, you often see spiderweb wall decorations at variety stores.
There’s actually a way to make them yourself—and all you need is origami paper.
First, imagine the paper forming a nonagon when opened, then fold it into a triangle.
Next, draw a spiderweb pattern with a pen and cut out the spaces between the lines with scissors.
Open it up, and your spiderweb is complete.
Once you learn the method, it’s simple, so it’s fun to make lots and decorate.
It’s also interesting to combine them with toy spiders.
Paper flowers in Halloween colors
These are origami paper flowers made with scissors and glue.
The method is simple, but the geometric patterns are very beautiful.
First, accordion-fold the paper, cut the ends into a rounded shape to make two pieces, and then glue them together at the end—such an easy process, yet it creates decorations this lovely.
The basic form uses a single type of origami paper, but you can also change the color of the flower’s center by layering different sizes of paper.
Be careful: using paper that’s too large can make it difficult to achieve a clean shape.
Make lots of them to create a flower-field effect and set the mood!
Halloween garland
Since there’s no sewing and not much three-dimensional shaping, this is a garland that’s easy even for felt beginners.
The key is not only to cut clean shapes with scissors but also to add fine slits.
Because everything is strung on a single cord at the end, making pairs—like ghosts and pumpkins—improves the overall balance.
Matching them like a couple makes it extra cute! Once you’re used to it, try adding leaves or letters spelling HAPPY HALLOWEEN to enhance the atmosphere.
Halloween decorations made with colored paper
A stylish decoration made by bending a paper strip.
You need to pay attention not only to the length of the strip but also to how firmly you bend it.
You can create various shapes depending on where you staple it.
There’s a method using a single strip, and you can also combine two strips—simple at first glance, yet surprisingly deep.
The finished pieces can be placed directly on a table or strung up with a cord.
Adding washi tape to the strip or shaping it together with a ribbon and securing it with a stapler can give you an even wider range of variations.
Handprint art pumpkin
This Halloween handprint art is perfect for enjoying with your child.
Cut the backing paper into a circle sized to fit their hand.
Apply orange paint to the palm and green paint to the middle finger, then stamp it in the center of the paper! Decorate around it with candy made from combining triangle and square origami pieces, stars, and a witch’s pointy hat.
Finally, add eyes and a mouth to the handprint, and your Halloween-themed masterpiece is complete.
A one-of-a-kind artwork made from their own handprint—your child will be captivated and have a great time.

[Flower Paper] Monster Wreath
Cut the cardboard into a circle and remove the center to make a wreath base.
Crumple tissue paper and glue it to the base, then attach the eye parts.
Glue on fangs, horns, candies, and other pieces made from origami to finish.
Use tissue paper in Halloween or monster colors to make it vibrant.
By intentionally varying the sizes and the order of colors you attach, you can bring out a mysterious, monster-like feel.
You can also customize the candies into bats or spiders—decorate however you like!
