Halloween is the most mystical day of the year and despite the fact that it is associated with evil spirits, this holiday is a delight, especially for children. Therefore, we suggest preparing for the holiday of 2022 and making the most interesting and fun DIY crafts.

2022 Halloween Paper Crafts - 5 Interesting Ideas

With your own hands, you can make crafts for Halloween 2022 for children from plain paper. We offer several interesting and simple ideas at once. Such crafts can be used to prank friends or decorate a children's room.

Master Class:

For the first craft, we print the witch's template on green paper, cut it out. We will decorate a gift with a strip with the inscription "Halloween" - bend it around the edges and glue it to the bottom, and put any tasty treat inside

We fold the sides of the card to hide the surprise. The first craft is ready

Now we will make Dracula's coffin - also with a surprise. We print the template on black paper, cut out along the solid lines. We draw along the dotted line with any blunt object and bend

We glue the paper craft, forming a coffin. Put shavings and sweets cut from white paper inside

• We close the lid, tie it with a red ribbon. Now we make a nice bat-shaped mark. We draw a circle of the mouse, which is located on the template. Additionally, we cut out another circle, but only of a different color and 2 mm larger.
• We glue the two parts together, make a hole, thread the ribbon, wrap the gift and tie it on a bow.

For the next craft, we also print the template, but only on two sheets of paper - black and purple

Cut out two parts and glue the purple ones onto the black ones. Draw along the dotted lines with a blunt object and bend

We glue Dracula's house and decorate it with bats, ghosts and evil pumpkins. Some of them can be glued to transparent strips, and then to the house itself

We put white shavings and, of course, sweets inside the house

• For the next craft, we take a black sheet of A4 paper. We fold one corner of it to the opposite side, cut off the excess.
• We open the resulting square and make the second diagonal.
• We bend the right and left corners to the center, forming folds, and again do the same action. Cut off the lower part.

We bend the figure in half, in the lower part we make a small indent from the edge, draw a line and draw curved lines in the form of an arc. Then we make cuts to a straight line

We reveal the figure and, alternating, cut out the stripes, as a result we get a beautiful cobweb

To make a spider, draw 8 circles with a diameter of 2.5 cm on black paper, cut out

We bend each circle in half, glue it together and glue the toy eyes

We form legs from chenille wire, make small folds in half and glue them

For crafts, it is better to use high-quality colored paper that does not wrinkle or tear. At the same time, the colors of good paper are more saturated, which means that the crafts will turn out to be very beautiful and bright.

Funny Halloween Crafts

Making fun DIY crafts for kids for Halloween 2022 is very easy. To do this, you will need simple paper, a little imagination and interesting master classes.

Step-by-step instruction:

• For the first craft, you will need half an A4 sheet of orange paper. Fold it in half and cut it.
• Bend a strip of 1 cm from the edge, then bend it to the other side and continue this way to the end of the sheet. In the same way, we fold the second half with an accordion.

• Apply glue to the edge of one accordion and glue the second one, fold the entire element into an accordion, bend it in half.
• We tie the figure in the center with a thread on a knot, glue the accordion into a circle and make an evil pumpkin out of it.

• We take pieces of paper in green and black. Cut out 2 triangles from the green one and glue the pumpkin on top.
• Cut out 3 triangles from the black piece, make two of them larger, these will be the eyes, and the third smaller, this will be the nose.
• We also cut out a mouth with teeth from black paper and glue it.

Now we will make a toy that children will definitely like. We take a sheet of A4 colored paper, fold it in half lengthwise, not reaching the edge by about 2 fingers

Bend the free strip and glue it. Then we turn the element over, fold it in half, bend one part back and in the same way the other part

• Cut out circles for different coins from black and white paper, these will be eyes.
• Draw a vampire's head with a black felt-tip pen, glue the eyes, add eyebrows, and glue the tongue cut out of red paper inside the toy.

• Cut out sharp teeth from white paper, glue them and bend them a little.
• Now we cut out the circle, cut it in half. These will be the ears, which we also glue to the toy.

The next toy is a ghost on your finger. We fold a piece of white paper in half, lean our finger and draw a simple ghost around it

Cut out, apply glue only to the edge of one figure without a picture and glue an element with a picture on top

As ideas for creating such toys, you can use other main characters of the holiday: bats, pumpkins, or many funny, and maybe frightening ghosts.

Halloween eyes, slime and spider webs

For Halloween 2022, you can make interesting crafts for children from scrap materials with your own hands. Such nasty things will scare anyone or make a great addition to a fancy dress. It is very easy to make them using simple step-by-step instructions with a photo.

Materials:

• ping-pong balls;
• felt-tip pens;
• Red pen;
• acrylic lacquer;
• sodium tetraborate;
• silicate glue;
• dye;
• cocktail straw;
• gelatin;
• colored jelly.

Master Class:

• To make the eyes, take the ping-pong balls, put something round on them and draw around them with a pencil.
• We outline the center of the pupil. Can be painted with ordinary felt-tip pens.

Draw capillaries with a red pen and varnish the eyes for greater realism

For mucus, mix sodium tetraborate and silicate glue, add paint, then rinse the mucus with plain water. You can put your eyes in it

• For Halloween, you can make worms. Pour gelatin into a deep plate, add colored jelly and pour boiling water over everything, mix.
• Pour the liquid into a glass, immerse the tubes with bending tops and refrigerate for a couple of hours.

As soon as the jelly hardens, carefully take out the tubes, put them in hot water, blow out their contents, that is, worms

For the web, you need hot glue: just pull the glue from two pieces of paper, only squeeze out quite a bit. As soon as it hardens, we remove the web, it turns out to be very thin and looks like a real one

You can also make nasty maggots. Sprinkle the surface with starch and squeeze out construction silicone, dip the tips of the larvae in black paint and leave to dry.

DIY Halloween pumpkin

If there is a pumpkin in your house, then on Halloween 2022 you can make your own hands the main attribute of the holiday - Jack's lantern. Great craft for kids and adults.

Master Class:

1. We choose a beautiful pumpkin, cut off the top, it will be a hat.
2. Now, using a regular spoon, we clean out all the fibers along with the seeds, cut out the pulp so that the walls of the pumpkin become thinner.
3. We draw a face with a marker and cut it out, do not throw out the pieces, they will still come in handy.
4. Using a vegetable peeler, add curves and straight lines, at the same time getting rid of marker marks.
5. Cut out sharp teeth from the pieces, remove the skin from them and attach them to toothpicks. That's all, we return the lid to its place, and the craft is ready.

A large-fruited pumpkin is best suited for crafts, its peel is thin and the flesh is loose. The peeled pumpkin must be dried well, packed tightly with newspaper, because, as you know, a humid environment is favorable for the development of microorganisms.

Jack's lantern made of paper

If you really want to make Jack's lantern, but there is no pumpkin, you should not be upset: such a craft can be made from plain paper. Everything is very simple, fast and original.

Master Class:

1. For a flashlight, we will prepare 3 rectangular sheets of 13 × 16 cm and 2 strips of black paper 2 × 16 cm, a cardboard sleeve and some more black paper.
2. We glue the sleeve with yellow paper, but this is not necessary.
3. We put all the prepared leaves together, retreat from above and below by 1 cm, draw horizontal lines.
4. On the right, we retreat from the edge by 3 mm, and also make an indent from the bottom. Along the entire horizontal line, we make a 1 cm markup and the same markup on the second horizontal line.
5. With a clerical knife, we make cuts through 1 cm at the designated points.
6. Cut off one strip completely. Apply glue to the edges of the first part, glue the second part with an offset of 3 mm.
7. Apply glue again, glue the last part also with an offset.
8. We bend the horizontal strip on one side and the other, now with the help of glue or double-sided tape we glue it to the base of the flashlight, that is, to the sleeve.
9. Fold the black strips in half and glue them along the edges of the flashlight, fold the rest inward.
10. The flashlight is ready, there are the final touches. We glue a thin strip of black paper inside the craft, this will be a pen.
11. Cut out the eyes and mouth from black paper, glue it.

For crafts, it is better to use orange paper of different shades, then the color of the flashlight will be very similar to a real pumpkin.

In addition to the proposed ideas, there are many other interesting master classes. So, together with the children, you can make a real ghost. We take a piece of gauze, dip it into PVA glue diluted with water. Then we cover the ball with it, which we pre-fix with tape to the bottle. After drying, we remove the ball, and glue the eyes and mouth of plain paper to the ghost. The ball can be replaced with lollipops, resulting in very small ghosts.
