Ghost in a pumpkin

[Halloween Origami] How to fold a pumpkin and a ghost with one sheet, with audio commentary ☆ Halloween origami Pumpkin and ghost tutorial / Tatsukuri

This is a fun piece featuring a ghost inside a jack-o’-lantern ghost.

Although it consists of two characters—the jack-o’-lantern ghost and the ghost—you can make it with a single sheet of origami paper.

Fold it into a triangle, open it up, and start folding the jagged teeth that are characteristic of a jack-o’-lantern ghost.

There are a few slightly tricky steps, but try working through them together as a parent-child activity.

Once it’s finished, draw eyes and a nose, or have it hold a broom, candy, or a stick to give it a cute look.

It’s also recommended to fold the hands into rounded shapes.

Pumpkin and ghost in one shot

[Halloween Origami] Pumpkin and Ghost with One Sheet of Paper [ハロウィン折り紙] 1枚でカボチャとおばけ

When people hear “Halloween,” many of them probably picture pumpkins and ghosts.

That’s why I’d like to recommend this: a pumpkin and a ghost from a single sheet.

As the title suggests, this is a simple art project that lets you create a pumpkin and a ghost using just one piece of paper.

Although the shapes look intricate, the folding itself is straightforward, so even young children whose fine motor skills are still developing can make it.

In the video, the facial features are drawn with a pen, but depending on the type of origami paper, the ink may bleed or not adhere well.

In that case, I recommend cutting the facial parts out of another sheet of origami and gluing them on.

pumpkin basket

[Halloween Origami] How to Make a Ghost [Easy Halloween Origami] Pumpkin Basket 🎃 Jack-o'-Lantern 🎃 Skeleton 💀 Bat 🦇 Tutorial | 종이접기 折纸 | 万圣节 幽灵

When it comes to origami, many people probably think that once you make something, it just gets left alone afterward.

It’s true that origami often ends up as a purely decorative object after you finish folding it.

That’s why I recommend this pumpkin basket.

It’s a pumpkin-shaped origami modeled after a basket.

While the instructions are a bit challenging, once you make it, you can use it as a play item for pretend games.

You can also customize it by changing the material used for the handle, so try creating this piece in various patterns.

Three-tier pumpkin

[Halloween Origami] How to Make a 3-Tier Pumpkin Tower

If you want to create an eye-catching piece, we recommend this three-tiered pumpkin.

You’ll make it using one sheet of orange origami paper and one sheet of black origami paper.

It might sound tricky since a single sheet represents three pumpkins, but it’s a flat design, so even children can start easily.

Another plus is that it uses few sheets, making it easy to produce multiple pieces.

It’s a project that kindergarten seniors and lower-grade elementary school kids can make, so be sure to try it as a parent–child activity.

Origami Halloween Pumpkin Ghost Easy Folding Instructions How to Make Origami Halloween #shorts

Around Halloween, you start seeing pumpkin ghosts—jack-o’-lanterns—everywhere, right? Some are made from real pumpkins, and others are crafted from construction paper.

You can even make a pumpkin ghost out of origami that looks just like the real thing.

First, fold the paper into a triangle, then unfold it once.

Fold along the creases you made to shape the pumpkin ghost.

Once it’s finished, you can stick it on the wall as is.

You can also customize it by turning it into a calendar decoration or a wreath.

Try adding an origami hat, or attach it to a paper straw to make a cute stick decoration.
