5 Easy Halloween Paper Crafts

Kick start the Halloween half-term in spooky style with 5 fang-tastic paper crafts! We've handpicked 5 of our favourite un-boo-lievably easy projects that are guaranteed to keep your little ghouls entertained this holiday. Simply follow our step-by-step guide to create some hauntingly sweet Halloween decorations! 

1. Start by making a cone from your card and secure in place with a piece of tape on the inside.
2. Using scissors, make small cuts around the bottom of the cone. Bend these tabs out to create a flat surface, so that you can attach the cone to the middle of the paper plate.
3. Use PVA or a glue stick to secure.
4. Decorate your witch hat using any crafty items you might have! Why not try recreating our Griselda Velvet Witch Hat by using paint, star stickers, and a piece of ribbon around the base.

Pair with our Agatha Velvet Witch Cape and you have yourself a eerie-sistible Halloween costume!

1. Begin by folding your paper in a concertina style, allowing enough room between folds for the ghosts (about 10cm).  
2. Sketch out your ghost template onto the paper, making sure that the drawing is connected to the edges so that each one will be linked.
3. Use scissors to cut around this shape, cutting through each layer of paper.
4. Now unfold your paper chain to reveal the magic! If you want to create a longer chain, repeat the process several times and connect each smaller chain together using a glue stick.

Pop up your paper chain decorations and throw on our Sequin Ghost Cape for some real ghoul power! 

1. Paint the outside of your toilet roll tubes using black acrylic paint and leave to dry.
2. When they're ready, using your scissors, cut out the shape of two ears along the top edge of the tube. Cut each tube to a different length to create a little family of cats!
3. Use your white pen to add eyes, a nose, and some whiskers.
4. Stand them over battery-operated tea lights and you have the cutest cat decorations!

Shop our Spooky Glitter Cat Ears and Cat Trick or Treat Bag for all your fiendishly feline-crazy kittens!

1. Start by cutting your orange paper into four 2cm x 24cm strips.
2. Lay your strips evenly over the top of one another, so that they cross in the middle like a star.
3. Glue at the centre in between each strip so that they are all attached.
4. Pull up the ends of the strips to meet each other above the centre, and glue to create a pumpkin shape.
5. Twist a green pipe cleaner around a pen to make it curly, and attach to the top of your pumpkin for the stalk.

Complete the style with our Pumpkin and Bat Clip Set and you'll be the pick of the patch!

1. Begin by painting your pegs with black paint, making sure they are completely covered.
2. While they dry, cut out your bat wings using black paper. Each wing needs to be separate  so make sure you don't join them in the middle.
3. Once the pegs have dried, glue each wing onto each side of the peg.
4. Finish by drawing on some eyes with red pen. Clip these round the house, or on your costume!

For a full batty ensemble, pair with our Bat Trick or Treat Bag and Bat Cape.
