Halloween crafts made easy! A collection of cute ideas you can make with everyday materials (31–40)
Monster Donuts
A Halloween-themed monster donut that combines a donut and a ghost.
Let’s make a ghost donut by attaching yarn and facial parts to donut-shaped construction paper.
Lots of kids love donuts, right? If it’s a craft of their favorite donut, they’ll probably feel excited while making it.
Besides construction paper, you could also use scrap cardboard, felt or fabric scraps from the dollar store.
Try making it using things you have around the house.
If you have children at home, you can also play pretend shop with the donuts you make.
Yarn pumpkin lampshade
A yarn pumpkin lampshade that’s perfect for Halloween.
A space made with yarn might boost the Halloween vibe even more.
Gather a balloon, yarn, glue, construction paper, and scissors, and let’s get started.
Inflate the balloon to the size of the pumpkin you want to make.
Wrap yarn around the balloon coated with glue.
The key is to wrap it in multiple layers and in various directions.
Once you’ve finished wrapping the yarn, let it dry thoroughly overnight.
The next day, use a toothpick to pop the balloon inside, gently so you don’t ruin the shape, then add eyes and a mouth to the pumpkin to finish.
It might also be fun to make pumpkins with yarn in different colors.
Halloween garland made with yarn and toilet paper rolls
This is a garland that uses toilet paper rolls to take your Halloween vibe up a notch.
First, cut the toilet paper roll in half and apply double-sided tape so the yarn will stick easily.
Then wrap yarn in Halloween colors—orange, purple, and black—around it.
Next, glue on triangle eyes and cat ears made from black origami paper, plus eyeballs made from round stickers, and you’re done.
Thread them onto a string and enjoy decorating your room with a cute garland full of Halloween spirit!
Swirly Ghost made with Yarn and a Paper Carton
A swirly ghost made with yarn and a paper carton gives off a warm, cozy look.
Its tactile feel is part of the charm, too.
Adjust the size of the ghost you want to make using the paper carton and create the base.
Then wrap your choice of yarn around it from the top.
By wrapping more times, the ghost gains volume and turns into a plump, gentle-looking figure.
Mixing yarn colors or adding sparkly beads and shiny stickers is also recommended.
Finish by attaching eye stickers, and it’s complete.
yarn mummy
You can make a mummy craft using everyday items like scrap materials and cardboard.
Paint a toilet paper roll black and wrap white yarn around it.
Just add eyes, and your mummy is complete.
If you have small children, taking a footprint on cardboard also makes a lovely piece.
Paint the cardboard white, stamp a footprint with black ink, then wrap white yarn around it and add eyes.
Using a footprint lets you keep a record of your child’s growth.
Making it together with your child will turn the crafting process into a cherished memory, too.

This wreath is perfect for a Halloween party and can be made with items from the 100-yen shop.

Next, use glue to attach eye-catching decorations such as jack-o’-lanterns, ghosts, and witches.
Finally, have fun adding ribbons and other decorations to finish off a cute wreath!
Ghost hanging ornament
Speaking of Halloween, what comes to mind are cute ghosts like jack-o’-lanterns.
To enjoy Halloween even more, how about decorating your room with adorable ghost ornaments? They’re very easy to make.
Draw a ghost face on a paper cup and make a hole in the bottom of the cup.
Then, cut out jack-o’-lanterns, candies, and other treats from colored paper, attach strings to them, and hang them from the paper cup—that’s it! If you like, create a matching background as well to enhance the atmosphere even more.
