Halloween 2020 is the most mysterious and mystical holiday, for which they prepare in a special way. We suggest you make crafts with your own hands, but not monsters, but cute and funny products for children.

Jack's Lantern

Jack's Lantern is the most recognizable attribute of Halloween. Traditionally, such a craft is cut from a pumpkin or turnip. It is believed that such a lantern helps restless souls find their way to Purgatory, and the flame burning in the pumpkin scares away evil spirits. Jack's Lantern for Halloween 2020 can be made scary, elegant, or funny for children.

Materials:

• pumpkin;
• sample;
• spoon, knife, awl;
• candle (flashlight, garland);
• marker, scotch tape.

Master Class:

• Choose a bright, medium-sized pumpkin without damage. And also we decide on what we will use for lighting. If it's a candle, then cut off the top of the pumpkin, and if it's a garland or flashlight, then the bottom.
• Gently scrub the pulp together with the seeds with a regular spoon.

• We print out the finished face template and fix it on the peel with tape. We outline the contour with a marker.
• After that, remove the template and cut out all the details of the face along the contour.

• Put coffee beans, cinnamon, nutmeg or vanilla inside the pumpkin. This will add flavor to the craft.
• We take a candle, which should be 3 times smaller than the pumpkin itself, and fix it well inside.

If the pumpkin is with a lid, then you need to make several holes in it so that the heated air can escape. When using a garland or flashlight, simply cut off the bottom and place a light source inside the pumpkin.

Halloween paper crafts

For Halloween 2020, you can make very funny and interesting paper crafts. We offer several ideas at once that are especially suitable for children - even toddlers can do all the work with their own hands.

Haunted garland

Fold a plain A4 sheet of white paper in half lengthwise, cut it

We fold the strip in half, bend one edge to the middle, turn it over and bend the other edge. The result should be an accordion

Using a pencil, draw a ghost with eyes and a smile

Now everything is simple: we cut out the ghosts along the contour, be sure to cut through the smile and eyes. We unfold the blank and get a garland with cute ghosts.

Pumpkin

Cut out two strips 7 cm wide from A4 paper of orange color

• We fold the strip in half, and then bend the right and left edges to the middle.
• We turn it over, bend the right edge to the extreme left line, and the left edge to the extreme right.

• Then we bend each edge to the lines nearest to it.
• Fold the strip into an accordion, and then in half.

Cut off the corners. Be careful here not to cut off the side folds

• We make exactly the same blank from the second strip of paper.
• We put two blanks together so that the extreme single leaves look in one direction - up or down.

• Cut out a ponytail and a thin strip for curls from green paper.
• We put the tail and curl between the two blanks and fasten with a stapler.

We connect the outer leaves, glue their upper parts. There should be four such connections

Now it remains to straighten the accordion and use scissors to make curls. And if you wish, you can glue the eyes and a smile cut out of paper to the pumpkin.

Web

• Take a square sheet of paper of any size and fold it in half diagonally.
• At the place of the fold, we connect the right and left corners together.
• We put the workpiece so that the fold is on the left, and we connect the right and left corners together.

• We measure the side with a fold and mark the resulting length on the lower side. We get an isosceles triangle.
• Cut off the excess and, as in the photo, draw a Christmas tree with a pencil.

We carefully cut it out, open it and get a beautiful cobweb that can be made in different colors and sizes.

Witch hat

• Take a regular sheet of paper and apply a thin strip of glue to the top.
• We fold the sheet so that we get a cone, and then cut off the lower uneven part.

We make small cuts along the edge and bend them up

• Fold the other sheet of paper twice in half, and then fold the upper corner to the bottom line so that a triangle is formed.
• On the triangle, as in the photo, draw two lines, cut off the corner and the lower part along the contour.

We open the workpiece, put it on the cone and fix it with glue

The result is a cap, which only needs to draw black eyes and a smile. Such a craft can be made from paper of any color.

Merry witch

For the craft, we cut out different geometric shapes: a large black triangle, 3 white circles (2 small and 1 large). Rectangles: 3 black (2 equal sizes), green thin, 2 orange, 1 brown thin

We glue the face, that is, a large circle, on a large triangle, and orange hair around the head. To do this, cut the rectangle into thin strips

• Glue a black rectangle to the upper part of the face, that is, the hem of the hat. And a green rectangle overlaps directly on top.
• We glue our hands to the triangle, and to them - white circles, that is, palms.

Now we are making a broom. We take a brown rectangle, cut the edge into small strips and roll it up with a tube

We glue the broom to the handles, and then draw the eyes, nose and smile for the witch. Here's a nice hack turned out.

Halloween Cards

You can make very beautiful postcards from paper for Halloween. And even if you do not celebrate this holiday, then still make such cards with your children, the kids will definitely like them. We offer 3 cool ideas at once.

Haunted card

• We take a brown sheet of paper measuring 14.5x21 cm. And also loose green cardboard measuring 13.5x20 cm.
• We fold each leaf in half.
• On a green sheet, namely at the place of the fold, we make marks: 2 cm, 1.5 cm, 4 cm and 2.5 cm.

• According to the marks above, we draw 2 segments of 2.5 cm and 2 segments of 1.5 cm.
• We connect the segments into strips and only make cuts along the segments.

We bend the strips strongly, open the leaf and bend the strips inward. Then we close the sheet again and iron everything well

Now we decorate the postcard. On top we glue black clouds, and below we write the inscription "BOO!". Apply glue to the bottom of the strips and glue pictures: a ghost and a pumpkin. And finally, glue it on a brown sheet of paper and sign the postcard.

Monster postcard

• We take loose black cardboard, as well as sheets of orange and red.
• Fold the black sheet in half and smooth the fold well.
• At the place of the fold, we make a mark 10 cm up and from it to the right a strip of 7 cm.
• On the strip on the right, we indent 1 cm and draw teeth in a zigzag.

• We make a cut along the zigzag. Then we bend one side with a corner at 90 °. And we also bend the other corner in the opposite direction.
• We turn the corners back, open the card a little and bend the corners with the teeth inward.
• We close the postcard, as in the photo, apply a ruler, make a mark of 4 cm.

• We turn the ruler at a right angle 90 ° and draw a line of 2 cm from the mark.
• We make a cut along the line, bend the corner and bend exactly the same at an angle of 90 °.
• We turn the corner back, open the card and bend the corners inward.

• We fold the orange sheet of paper in half, mark 11 cm in height and 2 cm in width under the ruler. We also mark 3 cm from the edge.
• Draw half of the tongue within the boundaries of the marks, cut it.

We bend the tongue at a right angle at the mark of 3 cm, bend it back, slightly open the sheet and bend it inward

Now we glue the sheet of paper with the monster on the orange sheet. Draw black pupils in the eyes. And then we glue the entire blank on a red sheet, and the card is ready.

Postcard "Mummy"

• Cut off a quarter of a black cardboard and a regular white sheet of the same size.
• We tear the white into thick uneven strips.

• We paint each strip along the very edge on both sides with black paint.
• On a black base, glue the strips overlapping each other.

• We leave an empty space under the third strip on the right, there will be teeth.
• After three strips, we also glue the eyes on the right - you can take toy ones or also cut them out of paper.
• From above we glue the bandages-strips and cut off the excess at the edges.

The postcard is almost ready, all that remains is to make the teeth. We cut them out of cardboard, glue them under the strip. For intimidation, you can add a little blood with a red felt-tip pen.

How to make bats for Halloween

For Halloween 2020, you can make bats with your own hands. This is a great craft for decorating for a holiday. Everything you need for manufacturing: cardboard, paper, black marker, glue and various materials at hand.

Idea 1

Bats can be made from regular clothespins. To do this, paint them black and glue the wings cut from black cardboard.

A huge bat can be made from a plastic plate, which also needs to be painted black. We cut out other details (wings and ears) from black cardboard, and teeth from white. It remains only to glue everything with decorative eyes.

Idea 3

For the next craft, you will need a tin can, for example, from under the milk mixture. We paint it black

• Cut out the wings from thick cardboard according to the template, cover with black paint and glue to the jar.
• We make a handle from the wire and decorate the craft with multi-colored tape. We draw eyes, nose, blush and teeth.

2. We glue the wings cut out of cardboard. Draw eyes, cut them out of paper or use decorative ones.

These bats can be made for Halloween 2020 with your own hands from simple materials at hand. Do not be afraid to fantasize, and then the crafts will turn out to be the most unusual.

Spider from scrap materials

What is Halloween 2020 without black spiders, which you can make with your own hands from scrap materials? Such a craft is not at all scary, the kids will definitely like it.

Materials:

• foam ball 8 cm;
• foam ball 2 cm;
• corrugated paper;
• chenille wire;
• beads.

Master Class:

• Cut the black corrugated paper into strips 4 cm thick, and then cut each strip into small rectangles.
• Now we completely glue the foam balls with a diameter of 8 and 2 cm with black rectangles.

Using an ordinary toothpick, we attach the spider's head to the body, that is, a small ball to a large one

• We cut the chenille black wire into pieces 12 cm long. We bend each part so that we get the spider's legs. We break it in the area of the knees, wrap the ends in a spiral.
• Cut out circles from orange corrugated paper. We glue them to the body, we also fix the legs with glue and glue the black beads in place of the peephole.

Gauze ghosts

If you want to make the most original handicraft for Halloween 2020 with your children, the next master class is ideal. And we will make a ghost out of ordinary materials at hand.

Materials:

• bottle;
• balloon;
• gauze;
• medical spatulas;
• PVA glue;
• black paper.

Master Class:

1. Inflate the balloon to the desired size and attach it to the top of the bottle with adhesive tape.
2. We cover the bottle with a ball with gauze and see how much material is needed, and cut off the excess.
3. We remove the gauze and attach the ghost hands to the bottle, which can be made from medical spatulas or ice cream sticks.
4. Pour PVA glue into a bowl, add some water and stir well.
5. We dip the gauze into the glue solution, dip it well so that the fabric is completely saturated with the prepared composition, and cover the bottle.
6. To make the structure strong, cover it with another layer of gauze on top and grease only the head with glue. Leave the craft to dry completely (at least 10 hours).
7. After drying, take out the bottle with the ball.
8. The ghost is almost ready, all that remains is to glue its eyes and mouth cut out of black paper.

If you need to make little ghosts, then we use ordinary lollipops for the stand. We also cover with gauze, after dipping the material into the glue. After the candy has dried, remove and glue the toy eyes to the ghosts.

Many consider All Saints' Day to be a gloomy holiday, but for children it is the most unusual, noisy and funniest one. But DIY crafts will make Halloween 2020 even brighter and more exciting.
