Halloween hat
Here’s an idea for a pumpkin hat kids can wear for costumes.
Prepare two sheets of orange construction paper and place them vertically.
Draw a horizontal line 15 cm down from the top.
Below that line, draw vertical lines spaced evenly.
Tape the two sheets together, but be careful not to tape over the area with the vertical lines.
Apply double-sided tape along the very bottom edge of the paper, then cut along the vertical lines to create narrow strips.
Attach each strip, one by one, to the back side of the upper part of the paper, then crease between each strip.
Roll the whole thing into a cylinder and attach a rubber band so the size can be adjusted.
Finally, add a pumpkin face and a hat made from black construction paper, and you’re done! Be sure to use paper sized to fit the child’s head.

Heart-shaped candy bag
A candy bag with a heart design is cute not only for girls but also for boys.
By making evenly spaced cuts in two sheets of construction paper and weaving them together into a heart shape, you can create a bag design that can’t be achieved with a single sheet.
You can go with Halloween-inspired colors or choose your own original palette—combining favorite color schemes freely will boost excitement both during crafting and after it’s finished.
Since each child will come up with their own design, it’s enjoyable for adults to watch as well.
Halloween bag made with balloon art
Halloween bags made with balloon art make a striking impression that brightens up any event.
Shaping a pumpkin out of multiple balloons and using the stem as a handle creates a design that also enhances the Halloween atmosphere as interior decor.
Since balloon art can be difficult to do together with children, it’s a good idea to prepare some in advance as part of the event.
This craft is recommended when you want a slightly unusual party favor with the balloons’ translucent, three-dimensional look giving it a magical feel.
Pompon Pumpkin
Let’s make a cute jack-o’-lantern using a plastic bag for umbrellas to keep water drops off.
You’ll need an umbrella plastic bag, an appropriate amount of orange tissue (flower) paper, and eyes, mouth, etc.
made from colored construction paper.
Crumple the tissue paper and stuff it into the plastic bag.
Once filled, tie the opening twice, then stick on the eyes and mouth with double-sided tape.
Decorate the knot with a ribbon to finish.
It’s fun to bounce it like a ball.
Give it a try!
Mini bag with rosette
This craft lets you make a mini bag with a rosette from a single sheet of origami paper.
Simply cut the origami into the bag, handle, and rosette sections and assemble to create a stylish mini bag.
Because the folding is detailed, it’s suitable as a guideline for children aged 4 and up.
The rosette requires millimeter-precise work, so adults should provide support.
If you want to use it as a treat bag or similar, prepare a larger sheet of paper instead of origami and adjust to the purpose—it’s a great way to add flair to Halloween events.
Pumpkin bag made with origami
Pumpkin bags made with origami are highly recommended because both the materials and the steps are simple.
Choose origami in the color you want, fold it into a bag shape, and make the handles—since the shape is easy to picture, even younger children will enjoy making it.
If you use markers to draw a jack-o’-lantern face for a Halloween touch, it really sets the mood and will be a big hit at events.
It’s simple yet practical and will beautifully brighten up your Halloween, so definitely give it a try.
Pumpkin bag made from a milk carton
This is a Halloween bag that reuses an empty milk carton.
By cutting off the top, bottom, and one side of the carton, then adding slits and gluing it together, you can create a three-dimensional treat bag.
If you leave the shape as-is, the original milk carton design will show, so you can attach orange origami paper to give it a pumpkin look.
Since the shape is close to a pumpkin, the orange color scheme works well, but using your child’s favorite color of origami paper will add originality and look lovely too.
If you use waste materials that may contain allergens, please make it with safety in mind.
