Halloween crafts made easy! A cute collection of ideas you can make with everyday materials (71–80)
wobbly ghost

Since there aren’t many steps, a child who can use scissors might be able to make this all by themselves! Here’s how to do it: On the drinking rim side of a regular-sized paper cup, make two slits about 1 cm deep and 1 cm wide.
Make the same slits on the opposite side, 180 degrees apart.
Then fold the flaps between the slits down toward the bottom of the cup.
Next, loop a rubber band over the folded parts—almost done.
Stack a small paper cup on both the top and bottom of the prepared cup, and it’s complete! The bottom cup is held in place by the rubber band, so when you hold it and shake, it wobbles.
Draw a ghost face on the paper cups or decorate them with face-part stickers.
They look cute even just as decorations.
Fluffy Pumpkin Objet

This is a pumpkin-shaped ornament made by gently shaping yarn.
First, use a bundle of twine layered over wooden chopsticks as the core, then wrap yarn around it.
Once you’ve wrapped it thickly, use the layered twine to secure the yarn and refine the overall shape.
Finally, remove the chopsticks and shape it firmly into a pumpkin to finish.
Since the entire piece is made from yarn, it ends up looking softer than versions that keep a rigid core, which is a key point.
Try creating your own unique ornament by choosing different colors and adding parts as you like.
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.
