Easy Halloween Crafts! A Collection of Cute Ideas You Can Make with Everyday Materials (21–30)
Halloween wreath made with rubber bands
Thread about 60–80 rubber bands onto a tube, then remove them and tie the center with another rubber band.
Cut the looped sections on both sides with scissors, then trim the ends to shape it.
Pass a twist tie through the central rubber band and attach it to the base.
This will become the ghost, so make lots of them in various colors until the base is completely covered.
Attach googly-eye parts to the rubber bands, thread a hanging string through, and it’s done.
Mixing rubber band colors adds a nice accent.

A cute Halloween wreath you can make just by attaching parts.
Get your ribbon, faux fur, pumpkin bouquet, artificial flowers, nuts, wreath base, adhesive, and nippers ready, and let’s get started.
Glue the fur material onto the wreath base.
Use nippers to cut flowers and greenery from the pumpkin bouquet, then glue them on.
Using velour flowers adds a warm, autumn feel and looks adorable.
Keep balance and volume in mind, and glue everything securely so it won’t come off.
Adding colored leaves and pumpkins is also a key point.
You can enjoy making a simple yet luxurious original wreath.
[Origami] 3D Halloween Wreath

This wreath is made by gluing circular pieces onto a 12 cm diameter base.
Use origami paper for the pieces.
The first piece is a circular part cut to a 3 cm diameter.
The second is made by folding a circular piece in half and gluing three of them together to create a three-dimensional element.
The third is a slightly larger pumpkin piece made the same way as the second.
After alternately attaching pieces 1 and 2 to the base, glue Halloween-themed craft decorations onto piece 1.
Then attach the pumpkin piece to the end of a strip of origami paper cut lengthwise, and stick it onto the base so it looks like it’s hanging from above.
That’s it!
Jack-o’-lantern
Let’s try making Halloween decorations with plastic bottles.
You can make a ghost lantern using a small empty plastic bottle.
Cut off the bottom of the bottle, then briefly press the cut edge against a hot iron.
This should smooth out the uneven edge and make it uniform.
Wrap yarn around and around the bottle.
For the lantern’s light, try using a wire string light.
Attach facial features and hang it in your room to create decor that enhances the Halloween atmosphere.
Spider web wreath
With decorations that combine a Halloween vibe and cuteness, you can create a seasonal atmosphere just by hanging them on the wall.
Cut out the bottom of a disposable container you can find at a 100-yen shop, and use the remaining ring as a wreath frame.
Make holes in the frame and thread yarn through them.
If you design it like a spiderweb, the process becomes even more fun.
Use the cut-out bottom to make a small spider.
Place it on the finished web, and you’ve got an adorable spider-and-web wreath.
It’s safe even for small children to make, so it’s perfect for a parent–child craft activity.
