Halloween crafts made easy! A collection of cute ideas you can make with everyday materials

[Origami] Transforming Jack-o’-Lantern Cube

A stretchy, transforming cube that’s super fun for Halloween! It’s also a great idea for at-home time or fall crafts, so try making it together as a parent–child activity.

Use two sheets of origami paper to create one cube, then combine as many cubes as you like.

Folding the cube itself isn’t too difficult, but the key is to be careful not to mix up how you connect the two origami parts.

After that, just glue together as many cubes as you want, and you’re done.

You can decorate them with pumpkin or ghost faces, too.

Twist and stretch the cubes as you play!

Easy: Paper Cup Headband

A headband made by arranging a paper cup.

Paint the paper cup and attach an elastic band around the rim.

For example, paint it orange for a jack-o’-lantern or black for a bat.

Use origami or construction paper to finish the piece.

Just imagining the headband perched cutely on the head feels heartwarming.

Since paper cups are easy to find, it seems simple to make.

It’s a headband that even small children can enjoy making, whether painting with paints or using construction paper and origami.

Eyeball Flower

How about decorating for Halloween with some surprising eyeball flowers?

Have you heard of eyeball flowers, where the tips of plants are eyeballs? They’re one of the fun, pop-style decorations you see a lot around Halloween.

A headband decorated with those wobbly, staggering eyeball flowers is perfect for Halloween, too.

Just stick a googly-eye sticker (with a moving pupil) onto a round styrofoam ball, then insert a pipe cleaner into the styrofoam—done! If you draw bloodshot veins on the white part with a red marker, the eyeball will look even more realistic.

A headband with lots of moving eyeball flowers has a big impact, so it’s especially recommended if you want to stand out.

[Flower Paper] Monster Wreath

Cut the cardboard into a circle and remove the center to make a wreath base.

Crumple tissue paper and glue it to the base, then attach the eye parts.

Glue on fangs, horns, candies, and other pieces made from origami to finish.

Use tissue paper in Halloween or monster colors to make it vibrant.

By intentionally varying the sizes and the order of colors you attach, you can bring out a mysterious, monster-like feel.

You can also customize the candies into bats or spiders—decorate however you like!
