Halloween Origami Easy.

Looking for a fun paper craft to make for Halloween? Try one of these fantastic Halloween origami projects. Not only are they suitably spooky and look amazing but they also cost practically nothing to make.

As you know, I’m a big fan of Halloween and an even bigger fan of origami so of course, I was always going to love it when you mix the two of them together. It’s a winning combination in my eyes for a whole lot of spooky fun.

All you need is some origami paper, a pair of scissors, glue and some pens or stickers to decorate and you’ll have your very own handmade paper Halloween decorations. Use them to decorate your house, make trick or treat gifts, string them up as a garland or pop on a cake.

Halloween Origami Step By Step.

I’ve rounded up 25 of my favourite Halloween origami tutorials. I’ve tried to include something for everyone. There are some nice and easy projects for beginners and younger kids to get stuck into and a few that are a bit more complicated for the more advanced paper folder.

Once you’ve mastered making a simple witches hat or a cute black bat, why not scroll on down and try a Vampire mouth that can open and close or a 3D pumpkin box to hide some Halloween candy in?

Pop on a spooky playlist or a movie or two and let’s get folding!

Supplies:

I always recommend using origami paper although any thin paper will do. If you don’t have any origami paper on hand here are a few alternatives that you probably already have at home.

I even have some printable origami paper you can download and use for FREE. Simply download, print and cut into 7x7-inch squares.
