Easy Halloween Origami Projects.

Spooky season is here, and I’m so excited to share some amazing Halloween origami projects with you! If you're looking to add a little magic to your Halloween crafting, then you're in the right place. Not only are they suitably spooky and look amazing but they also cost practically nothing to make. 

As you know, I’m a big fan of Halloween and an even bigger fan of origami. So, naturally, combining the two is an absolute win in my book—it's the perfect recipe for a whole lot of spooky fun!

All you need is some origami paper, a pair of scissors, markers and some googly eyes to decorate and you’ll have your very own handmade paper Halloween decorations. Use them to decorate your house, make trick-or-treat gifts, string them up as a garland or pop on a cake.

Halloween Origami Craft Projects.

I’ve scoured the internet (and my own blog!) to bring you 25+ of the best Halloween-themed origami projects that are perfect for adding some spooky charm to your Halloween crafts.

If you’re hosting a Halloween party, these origami crafts make for great ideas to keep guests entertained, or even as DIY decorations to set the spooky mood. Plus, it’s a fun activity to do with kids or friends while you’re waiting for the trick-or-treaters to arrive.

I’ve tried to include something for everyone. There are some nice and easy origami projects for beginners and younger kids to get stuck into and a few that are a bit more complicated for the more advanced paper folder.

Once you’ve mastered making a simple origami witch or a cute origami ghost, why not scroll down and try a Vampire mouth that can open and close or a 3D pumpkin box to hide some Halloween candy in?
