Halloween Origami [Pumpkin Candy Holder from One Sheet]

While creations that simply decorate walls or ceilings are nice, many of you might prefer to make something practical if you’re going to the trouble, right? For those people, we recommend this pumpkin candy holder.

Instead of being box-shaped, it’s shaped like a clasp purse, so although its capacity is small, there’s enough space to hold a few hard candies or pieces of gum.

You can pin just the back side with a thumbtack, turning it into both wall art and a bit of storage.

Ghosts and pumpkins

[Halloween Origami] How to Make a Ghost with a Coffin and a Ghost with a Pumpkin from One Sheet of Paper

Origami ideas featuring a ghost, a quintessential Halloween character, and a pumpkin.

The two pieces share the same steps up to a certain point, making them great for childcare settings where you create together with kids.

First, fold the origami paper to the left and right to make creases.

Open the paper, then fold the bottom up to meet the center, and fold in the left and right sides as well.

Next, open the inner bottom section as you fold, then fold it back toward the center.

While opening the top part, fold it down, and finish by folding the paper on the back side—done.

By folding the left and right parts once more, you can also create a coffin shape with this idea.

plump pumpkin

How to fold a pumpkin

In this article, we’ve introduced several 3D pumpkin origami designs, but this plump pumpkin is a flat-style creation among them.

It has a shape similar to the flat designs you often see on the internet.

Although it may look complex, this piece is actually easier than the other 3D pumpkin origami.

While it involves a relatively large number of folds, the folding steps themselves are simple, so why not try making it together with your child?

A three-dimensional pumpkin like a paper balloon

Halloween Origami: Easy-to-Follow 3D Pumpkin Ghost Folding Instructions — Jack-o’-Lantern

By its nature, origami often ends up with angular shapes when finished.

That crisp look has its own charm, but it doesn’t capture the cuteness of rounded objects.

That’s why I recommend this 3D pumpkin, like a paper balloon.

While it does have some angular parts, it features many curved surfaces overall, giving it a unique form unlike other origami.

It requires slightly delicate technique, but with solid support from a parent, even children can make it—so please give it a try for reference.
