[Origami] Halloween Monster

[Origami] Halloween Monster Balloon 🎃 Halloween Monster Origami

Why not try making some cute, plump little Halloween monsters for your event? The charm is that you can easily craft them with origami! Take the traditional origami balloon and give it a Halloween twist.

The folds are simple, so it’s great to try with kids.

Before inflating the balloon, draw faces or attach parts to make jack-o’-lanterns, mummies, black cats, and more.

Finish by blowing air into the balloon—and you’re done! You can bounce them around by hand, string them into a garland, or pack them with candy to amp up the Halloween spirit.

Making a Halloween costume

[Ages 0–2] Halloween Costumes — Absorbed in a Candy Hunt

Halloween is becoming a big hit in Japan.

It’s a familiar event for kids, too.

Let’s make the perfect costume for the occasion! If a child around two years old wants an easy costume, using plastic bags is recommended.

Choose an orange bag to be a jack-o’-lantern, a white one to be a ghost, and a black one to be a witch.

Draw or stick on your favorite patterns, and you’ll have a simple Halloween costume in no time! Please make sure a guardian handles cutting the holes for the neck and arms.

Spider web decoration

Let’s make a spiderweb decoration! First, cut wavy lines around the rim of a paper cup and draw a face to make a little ghost.

Next, crumple some tissue paper, wrap it with decorative paper, and make candies.

Then paint wooden sticks white and arrange four of them like spokes of a wheel, gluing them together.

The key is to secure them firmly with glue.

To make the spider, wrap black yarn around a plastic fork about 50 times, secure it, then cut it with scissors to create a pom-pom.

Use pipe cleaners to make the spider’s legs and attach them to the pom-pom.

For the finishing touch, stretch white thread around the wooden sticks to form a spiderweb, then attach all the items you made to complete the decoration.

magic wand

Origami “Magic Stick” How to fold an origami magic wand

Let’s make a magic wand like the kind a witch—one of the classic Halloween motifs—might carry.

A magic wand is an item that makes you want to wave it around as soon as you hold it, instantly boosting your excitement.

This is a super simple idea that also lets each person show their individuality.

The square-folded tip of the wand is a bit tricky, but a star-shaped fold will give you a similar vibe.

You can also add your favorite stickers or draw your own designs.

Try wrapping the wand with tape in your favorite colors and decorating it any way you like!

Ghost Mobile

[Halloween Decorations] How to Make a Twirly Ghost Mobile

Introducing a unique “Ghost Mobile” that’s perfect for Halloween parties and events.

All you have to do is print and cut out the ghost templates facing left or right—anyone can make it easily! It’s a great Halloween craft to do with kids or as a recreation activity for seniors.

Punch a hole at the very top of the ghost’s head and thread a string through, then attach a paper clip at the bottom as a weight to finish.

When you pull and lift the string, it spins around with ghost-like, quirky movements, making a striking impression.
