A jack-in-the-box with a ghost that pops out

[Halloween Craft] A Jack-in-the-Box with a Popping Ghost — A Handmade Toy from a Milk Carton

Here’s a craft idea for a jack-in-the-box where a ghost pops out of a box.

Let’s make an item that will liven up Halloween parties and events.

Cut a milk carton so the spout and bottom are removed, then cut the remaining section into three equal parts.

Make slits along the fold lines, thread a rubber band through them, and attach black construction paper.

Add Halloween illustrations like a ghost or a jack-o’-lantern to complete the inner parts.

Open another milk carton by cutting one side, then attach it to the spout section to form the outer box, and decorate it with construction paper to make the base.

Place the inner parts inside the base and hold them down with your hand; when you let go, the paper pops out—enjoy the surprise mechanism as a fun toy.

Curly Yarn Ghost

Halloween Craft: Twirly Yarn Ghosts

Here’s a simple craft idea using a paper tube.

Just draw a face on the tube and wrap yarn around it—super easy! Tape down the beginning of the yarn with cellophane tape, wrap it around and around, then at the end, tuck the yarn under itself, cut a small slit in the paper tube, thread the yarn through, and tape it inside.

It’s so easy that even small children can enjoy drawing faces and making their own designs.

Besides pumpkins and mummies, try making black cats, Frankensteins, and all sorts of characters!
