Easy Origami Ghosts.
Halloween is nearly here. Have you started decorating yet? If not, I’ve got an easy and inexpensive way to make a super cute origami ghost garland.
When it comes to decorating for a party, I’m all about a garland (you can find last year’s origami pumpkin garland here). They always look fantastic, are cheap to make and are a quick way to fill a blank wall.

I have to confess I’m not a big fan of the traditional orange, green and black Halloween colour scheme. Pretty pastels are much more my thing. So I decided to make a cute and not-so-spooky origami ghost using some watercolour-patterned pastel paper.
Not only are these ghosts really easy to make, but they also look super cute with their wobbly googly eyes as they hang on the wall.
Supplies:
Black Marker
Glue or Double-Sided Tape
How to make an Easy Origami Ghost.
1. Fold your square in half across the diagonal.
2. Open back up and lay flat with the patterned side facing down.
3. Fold both sides in to meet in the middle and form a kite shape.
4. Fold the sides back out at an angle to make the arms.
It should look a little like an open shirt collar.
5. To shape the head, fold the top point down to make a triangle.
6. For the tail, fold the bottom point across on a diagonal.
7. To finish your origami ghost, stick on some googly eyes or draw on a silly face.
What do you think? Adorable, right? The folds are pretty simple so it’s a good one to get the little ones involved with as well.
What are you waiting for? Grab some pretty paper and a packet of googly eyes and get folding. You’ll be wowing your guests in no time!
