Halloween crafts made easy! A collection of cute ideas you can make with everyday materials (51–60)
Shaker charm for Halloween

Doesn’t it make you excited to have a wearable seasonal item? Halloween-themed charms that you can attach to your bag, keys, or favorite things are another delightful touch—especially since you can make them with original materials, meaning there’s only one like it in the world! The materials include a silicone mold, resin, an embossing heat gun, resin ink, toothpicks, glitter, laminating film, your choice of bead parts, nail stickers, keychain hardware, and an awl, among others.
The process is a bit complex, but it would be great for children and their guardians to enjoy making them together.
Egg-shaped Halloween candle

Perfect for a Halloween party, no doubt! How about trying your hand at making candles? Their distinguishing feature is the egg shape, and by adding color you can adapt them into various motifs like jack-o’-lanterns, ghosts, or black cats! You’ll need an awl, eggs, candle wicks, a hot glue gun, paraffin wax or candles, crayons, essential oil, and pens for candles.
Using real eggshells makes the process unique and fun! The melted wax from the double boiler will be hot, so be careful to avoid burns.
Halloween tree

Crafts using seasonal natural materials are a great way to feel the four seasons together with children, and they’re likely to become lasting memories.
When we think of the season for Halloween events, it’s autumn.
In autumn, try making a tree using pine cones.
You’ll need pine cones you’ve collected or purchased, green moss, adhesive, a hot glue gun, and decorative parts.
Since you can buy all the materials at a 100-yen shop, it’s nice and easy to gather everything.
If you’re using pine cones you picked up, we recommend sterilizing them with boiling water before use.
Halloween potion bottle

Let’s make some colorful potion bottles that look like they’re under a magic spell! Using potion bottles in your Halloween decorations will double the spookiness.
You’ll need glass bottles, label stickers, charms and decorative materials, glitter in your favorite colors, paint, cotton balls, water, glycerin, a funnel, and rubbing alcohol.
Heart motifs or uniquely shaped glass bottles can really boost kids’ excitement! Mixing colors and materials like you’re doing an experiment sounds like so much fun, doesn’t it?
Halloween cape

Cute to display and cool to wear! Wouldn’t it be great to hand-make such a wonderful cape? In fact, it seems you can make one easily with just a few materials! What you’ll need: a nonwoven fabric sheet, string or ribbon, scissors, clips, a ruler, and a bodkin (threader).
It’s also said to be even easier if you have a paper pattern cut into 10 cm-wide strips.
Adjust the length and cutting width based on the material you choose, using this as a reference.
If you attach children’s artwork, it will add personality and likely result in a fantastic finish.
