Ghost Halloween decoration

Halloween decorations made with felt and toilet paper rolls

When you look at the finished piece, you’d never guess it was made from a toilet paper roll, right? This is a Halloween ghost decoration made using a toilet paper roll and felt.

The basic process is to make the body from the roll, attach felt to it, and then add wings and a tail made of felt—that sort of thing.

You can make a jack-o’-lantern ghost, a bat, a black cat, a skeleton, and more.

Toilet paper rolls are basically scrap, and you can buy felt at the dollar store, so it’s great that it doesn’t cost much!

Spiderweb Darts

[Playable Craft] Spiderweb Darts (Halloween Craft & Handmade Toy) [Paper Plates and Masking Tape) Tarantula

How many balls can you get to stick? This is a spiderweb dart game made with a paper plate and masking tape.

Stretch masking tape across the paper plate to create a spiderweb pattern.

The key is to attach the tape with the sticky side facing out.

Once the target is ready, it’s time to make the balls.

Crumple up some tissues and wrap them with vinyl tape in your favorite color.

Then just throw the balls at the spiderweb.

For a Halloween touch, draw faces on the balls to make them look like jack-o’-lanterns, or have fun creating original balls by drawing faces together with your child.

[Swipe Art] Colorful Monster

Swipe art is a technique where you place paint on paper and swipe it with a stiff piece of paper to add color.

This time, let’s use swipe art to make cute, colorful monsters.

First, put the paints you’ll use for the monsters’ colors onto white drawing paper.

It’s best to choose clean, harmonious colors that look good next to each other.

Next, use an opened-up milk carton to swipe the paint.

You can swipe straight or create curves—feel free to experiment.

Once the paint is dry, cut out monster shapes and add faces to finish.

Adjust the steps to suit the children’s ages.

Lollipop of the Ghost

Let’s make ghost lollipops to get into the Halloween spirit.

First, create a ghost out of white construction paper.

If the kids are fairly used to crafts, they can make it freely.

Next, dye some paper towels with paint.

Using a dropper to drip the paint makes it easier to dye and keeps cleanup simple.

Since the paint will become the color of the candy, it’s best to prepare bright colors.

Once the paper towels are dry, twist them into a stick shape, then wind them around and glue them onto a piece of thick paper that will serve as the base.

You’ll need several sheets of paper towel, so dyeing extra in advance will give you peace of mind.

Finally, attach the candy stick and the ghost to the candy, and you’re done!
