Halloween crafts made easy! A cute collection of ideas you can make with everyday materials (71–80)
Colorful Bat
Here’s a bat craft idea that’s perfect for decorating a Halloween party.
Cut the bat’s face out of colored construction paper, then draw its expression with pens or add stickers.
Cut out two wings shaped like bat wings and hollow out the insides.
Attach them to a sheet of kitchen paper using OPP tape, then stick pieces of transparent origami onto the adhesive side.
Combine the face and wings, and you’ve got a bat that works great as a wall decoration.
You’ll also have fun cutting the transparent origami into random sizes and choosing the parts to create the bat’s facial expression.
Tokotoko Ghost
You can make a cute little “toko-toko” ghost that walks in a slightly clumsy way using a pudding cup, a paper cup, an AA battery, a rubber band, and twine.
First, cut slits in the pudding cup.
Next, wrap the rubber band and twine around the battery and attach it to the pudding cup to create the moving mechanism.
Finally, cover it with the decorated paper cup—add a ghost or jack-o’-lantern design—and you’re done! Pull the twine and let go, and the rubber band’s power makes it start toddling along.
It’s a fun craft idea that you can play with over and over after making it.
pumpkin wall decoration
This is a decoration featuring a must-have Halloween pumpkin made with orange yarn.
Simply cut slits around a piece of cardboard cut to the size of a pumpkin, then thread the yarn through those slits.
By intentionally crossing the yarn randomly without deciding on a set order, you can create an eerie, spiderweb-like effect.
Once you’ve threaded enough yarn, attach parts like the eyes and mouth to finish.
It’s also fun that you can add personality depending on the shape of the cardboard and how you thread the yarn.

Origami Mickey Headband
Let’s make a Mickey headband using four sheets of origami paper! The basic folding method is simple: fold the paper into a triangle, then keep folding along the creases you’ve made.
Both the base and the ears are very easy folds, so even children can give it a try.
Fold two identical pieces for the base and connect them, then insert the ear pieces to complete the Mickey headband! If you add a ribbon, it turns into a Minnie headband.
When wearing it, use hairpins or attach it to a real headband to secure it in place!
Pumpkins made with yarn and zip ties
This piece recreates the pumpkin’s bumpy ridges using thick yarn.
Wrap yarn around a cable tie, and once you’re done, tighten the tie and shape it to finish.
By forcefully rounding the wrapped bundle, you can mimic the pumpkin’s natural uneven texture.
Try different cable tie lengths and yarn choices to create your own design.
Adding features like a face will help emphasize a Halloween vibe.
Simple Halloween Art
Here’s a Halloween craft idea that uses a clear jar and yarn.
Fill the jar to about three-fifths with water, then place a tree branch inside.
Choose something with lots of offshoots, like burning bush (Euonymus alatus).
Next, attach yarn to the stem end of an apple and hang it from the branch.
Arrange fallen leaves and apples beneath the branch to finish.
You can also swap the apples for pumpkins or change the yarn color for variety.
There are no complicated steps—give this easy Halloween craft with yarn a try!
Red ribbon headband
Using a store-bought headband as a base, why not make an irresistible headband with a big red bow for girls? Prepare your favorite red fabric and sew it into a long, tube-like shape.
Since this will slip over the store-bought headband, cut the fabric width to match it.
Next, sew a rectangular piece of fabric into a pouch and stuff it with cotton through an opening.
Wrap the center with another strip of fabric, then place it on the headband base and sew it on.
Adjust the bow size and placement to your liking.
The key is to avoid stuffing the cotton in the center!
