Halloween crafts made easy! A collection of cute ideas you can make with everyday materials (31–40)
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.
A Halloween wreath made with 100-yen shop items
This wreath is perfect for a Halloween party and can be made with items from the 100-yen shop.
Pick up a wreath base, yarn, and decorations you like.
First, stick double-sided tape around the wreath base and wrap the yarn around and around it.
Since it’s Halloween, colors like purple and black, or orange, would work well.
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.
Black Cat of Halloween
This is a cute, shaggy black cat made with yarn and a toilet paper roll.
Toilet paper rolls are handy because you can use their round tube shape while easily cutting and gluing them.
Once the roll base is ready, wrap black yarn all around it.
Use glue to adjust and attach the head, body, and tail.
After forming the black cat’s body, attach felt ears and a hat with double-sided tape.
Finally, add a cute ribbon and bell, and stick on round-label eyes.
Your charming, fluffy black cats are complete!
A moving ghost toy
This is a handmade, cute ghost toy that you can move around freely.
It’s very easy to make.
First, decorate a paper cup to create the stage where the ghost will move.
Color it, draw illustrations, and finish it off with stickers if you like.
Next, cut out a ghost from construction paper.
Attach magnets to both a wooden spatula and the ghost.
Make sure to check the orientation of the magnets’ north and south poles so they don’t repel each other.
Once the ghost and the spatula stick together with the paper cup in between, your ghost is ready to fly freely around the world of the paper cup.
It’s also safe to make since it doesn’t involve any cutting with blades.
