Halloween is an unusual and even mystical holiday that many people love in our country. In 2021, it will be celebrated on October 31. You need to prepare for it, for example, make interesting crafts for children with your own hands.

Easy Halloween Paper Crafts

Paper can be used to make the most unusual Halloween crafts in 2021 for children. The master classes are very simple, everything can be easily made with your own hands. Such crafts can decorate a room or arrange a gift.

Materials:

• 6 sheets of orange paper;
• 3 sheets of black paper;
• 1 sheet of green paper;
• 1 sheet of white paper;
• 1 fluffy wire;
• compasses, pencil;
• glue, scissors, ruler.

Master Class:

• For the first craft in the form of a flashlight, you will need 2 sheets of orange and 1 sheet of black paper. Fold an orange sheet in half lengthwise.
• Now we take a ruler and on the closing side with the edge we retreat 2 cm. From this point along the entire length we make more marks of 2 cm.

On a black sheet, draw oval eyes about 5 cm long, a triangular nose and a round mouth with teeth. Now we cut everything out

• Open the orange sheet, turn it over and glue the mouth in the middle.
• Then we turn the sheet over again, fold it and make cuts along the drawn stripes.

• Then we open it again, turn it over, glue the eyes and nose.
• We coat one side with glue, glue it to the opposite side, align the strips.
• Cut out a strip for a pen from orange paper and glue it to the flashlight.

For the second craft, take 2 sheets of black paper, fold them with an accordion and glue them together

We fold the accordion in half and glue it so that we get a circle

Cut out eyes with pupils, nose, mouth with fangs, ears and wings from paper of different colors

We glue all the details to the base and get a bat. You can also make a pumpkin in the same way

• For the next craft on black paper, draw a semicircle, cut it out, coat it with glue on one side and glue it into a cone.
• On black paper we draw a circle with a diameter of 4.5 cm. Cut out and in this circle we draw another circle, only with a diameter of 1.5 cm.

We apply a ruler and make a crosswise incision according to the size of a small circle. This will be the hat

Cut out a rectangle of 8 × 6 cm from orange paper, thinly cut the strips, not reaching the edge. This will be the hair that we twist with a pencil

Cut the hair in half and glue it to the base from the side of the seam

We glue the white face, put on the hat, and so that the cutouts are not visible, we take a sheet of green paper, cut out a strip 1 cm thick from it and glue it to the hat

• Cut out a strip of 1, 5 cm wide from black paper and glue it behind the hair to make handles.
• We make cuts on a small piece of paper of any color and glue it onto a toothpick. It will be a whisk. Now draw the eyes, nose and mouth for the witch with a black marker.

• We do one more craft. We fold the orange sheet of paper in half, put our hand, circle and cut out. Let's prepare 2 more hands from white and green paper.
• Now we glue only black fingers on the green hand, this will be hair. And also two black stripes of different lengths and toy eyes.

• On the orange hand we glue a muzzle cut out of black paper, as well as a green bang.
• Let's make a ghost out of a white pen: just glue the toy eyes and draw an oval mouth with a black marker.

• For the last craft, we will prepare 20 strips of orange 1 cm wide. Cut the leaves out of green paper.
• Punch holes in strips and leaves using a hole punch.
• On the other edge of the strips, glue pieces of double-sided tape and glue them in a circle.

Insert a fluffy wire into the center of the circle, fix it with tape and put each strip on it. The result is a pumpkin

Add leaves, and twist the remaining tail of the wire with a spiral using a pencil

For children's fun, you can make a horror story "Big Mouth" out of paper. We just print the templates, paint, cut out the shapes, bend along the lines and glue the handles cut out of paper on the back side.

DIY Halloween Spider

There are all kinds of monsters you can make for Halloween 2021, but they don't have to be scary. You can make a beautiful shiny spider for children with your own hands from scrap materials. Such a craft will become an interesting decor for the most mystical holiday.

Materials:

• foam blank;
• chenille wire;
• black shiny foamiran;
• toy eyes.

Master Class:

1. For the base, we use a foam egg 9, 5 cm high, cut it in half.
2. We completely glue the base with shiny black foamiran.
3. We also cut out a semicircle from foamiran and glue it to the place where the spider will have a muzzle.
4. For the legs, we use a shiny chenille wire: just glue it to the base and slightly bend the edges.
5. Now we glue the toy eyes to the spider.

Foamiran can be replaced with felt or simply paint the base black and lightly sprinkle with sparkles.

How to make a ghost with your own hands

What's Halloween 2021 without a ghost? You can do it yourself from the simplest materials. Children definitely like this craft, and even adults will be afraid of ghosts.

Materials:

• glass of water;
• PVA glue;
• balloon;
• wire;
• Scotch;
• a piece of gauze.

Step-by-step instructions with a photo:

• Prepare an adhesive solution: mix PVA glue with water 1: 3 (3 parts of glue and 1 part of water).
• Dip a piece of gauze into the resulting solution and moisten it well.

• We fold the wire in half and attach it to a glass of water with tape, as in the photo.
• Place a balloon on top of the glass, also fix it with tape.

We round off the ends of the wire a little and expose them as if the ghost is holding his hands under the blanket

• We cover the entire structure with gauze, give it the shape of a flying ghost and leave it to dry completely.
• Then we pierce the ball, remove the ghost from the frame and glue his eyes and a smile, cut out of colored paper, cardboard or felt.

You can make very small ghosts. To do this, we also use gauze, make an adhesive solution, only use ordinary round lollipops as a base.

Halloween pumpkin made of paper

The main attribute of Halloween is Jack's lantern, which is made from a pumpkin, but such a craft can be made out of paper using the papier-mâché technique. The master class is very simple, fun, and the pumpkin looks like a real one.

Materials:

• newspapers;
• PVA glue;
• White paper;
• paint, brushes;
• scotch tape, thread;
• balloon.

Master Class:

• We inflate a balloon, do not tie the tail, but twist and fix it with masking tape.
• After that we wrap the ball with a thread, divide it into slices, we also fasten each thread with tape.

• Then we remove the masking tape from the tail and continue to inflate the ball so that it looks more like a pumpkin. Now we tie the ball tightly so that it does not deflate.
• We tear the newspaper into pieces, wrap the tail of the ball with one piece and glue it with masking or ordinary tape.

• Now we mix PVA glue with water in a 1: 1 ratio and completely lubricate the ball.
• Dip each piece of newspaper in glue and glue the ball over.

• Then we make a layer of plain white paper by simply tearing it into pieces. We leave the workpiece for a day.
• After that we simply paint the pumpkin orange, the tail green, let the paint dry.

Now we draw the eyes, nose, mouth with teeth. Jack's lantern is ready

If the newspaper layer still shines through or the base is not even enough, the pumpkin can be primed before painting.

The most interesting Halloween crafts

For children and decorating their room for Halloween 2021, you can do the most interesting crafts with your own hands. These will be scary glasses, bats on forks, a real lantern and a fluffy spider weaving its web.

Materials:

• white and colored paper;
• fluffy wire;
• pom-poms;
• toy eyes;
• plastic glasses;
• juice box.

Master Class:

• For the web, fold a sheet of white paper diagonally, cut off the excess.
• Fold the triangle diagonally again and again.

Cut off the upper part, draw a cobweb mesh, cut it out and carefully open it

• For the spider, we take fluffy wire and a couple of fluffy pompoms, which we glue together. This will be the torso and head. We glue the toy eyes.
• We form legs from the wire, just bend it with the letter "M", make 4 legs, twist them together and glue them to the body in the center.

For the next craft, we take ordinary plastic cups, glue eyes of different diameters to them, and then draw a mouth with a black marker

• Now we are making bats. We take a rectangle of white paper, fold it in half, draw a half of a bat, cut it out.
• Cut out a bat from black paper according to a template and decorate a fork with it.

• For the last craft, take the juice box, remove the plastic cork, lightly squeeze on the sides and twist.
• We cut out 2 windows and a small door in the box so that you can put a candle.

We glue glass from a transparent film on the windows, draw a cobweb on them

We paint the box black, put an LED candle inside, and fix the box on top with a paper clip so that the flashlight looks like a house

You can make different and unusual Halloween cards or paper crafts using the origami technique from paper.

What can be made from a pumpkin for Halloween

Halloween pumpkin is a real symbol of the holiday. As a rule, Jack's lantern is made of it, but there are other interesting ideas that you will definitely like.

Master Class:

1. For the first idea, take a round gourd and pink acrylic paint. We visually divide the pumpkin in half lengthwise and paint over the upper part.
2. Now we take bright colors and place strokes on the pink part of the pumpkin. The result is a donut pumpkin.
3. For the next idea, we put the pumpkin in a box, raise the sides, take the white paint in a spray can and spray it.
4. Cut out 2 drops from felt, make a small incision at the bottom.
5. Cut out smaller droplets from white fabric, glue them on large ones and get ears.
6. We coat one part of the cut with glue and glue it with the second part, we get a depression. Now we glue the ears to the pumpkin.
7. Twist the pink paper into a horn, cut off the excess and glue it to the pumpkin in place of its tail.
8. We glue artificial flowers to the top of the pumpkin, concentrate them at the horn and ears.
9. We color the horn to make it more voluminous and bright. With black paint we paint the eyes with white highlights, and the pumpkin in the form of a unicorn is ready.

You can make a candy bowl from a pumpkin. Cut off the top, remove the pulp with seeds, paint the pumpkin golden, make smudges with hot glue and paint them red. Glue the champagne cork to the tail on the cap.

In Western countries, it is customary to treat with sweets on Halloween. Therefore, for a holiday, you can make not only crafts, but also come up with a creative design for gifts. You can even make a creepy, scary, but delicious menu and be sure to cook pumpkin pie with the children.
