Crafts for Halloween with our own hands: create an atmosphere of All Saints Day

Halloween is not an official holiday in our country. However, bright clothes and a stunning entourage of this day can not leave the Russians indifferent. More and more people on the night of November 1 take to the streets in costumes of monsters or ghosts, and windows of houses and apartments are decorated with pumpkin lamps.

Shops offer a wide range of festive attributes, but it is much more interesting (and cheaper) to make crafts for Halloween with their own hands. Moreover, many of them do not require special materials or skills.

Decorate the room

For parties in the style of the "afterworld" you can create some thematic gizmos. Crafts for Halloween with their own hands are created literally in a few hours, and then can be used annually, until you want to come up with something new.

Garland

A simple decoration in the form of a garland will immediately transform the room. It is enough to stretch a rope or ribbon from the wall to the wall and decorate it with homemade ghosts, as the atmosphere will immediately become ominous and mystical. To create a non-disturbing spirit, you will need a square of any white fabric. As a basis for the head, question the sheet of paper, giving the lump a spherical shape. Put in the center of a square of cloth, wrap it and tie it with a thread on the "neck". That's all. It remains only to draw a pair of eyes or an ominous mug. There is an option even easier - ghosts can be cut out of a strip of paper, pre-folded her accordion. As a basis for the garland, other Halloween symbols can also perform: pumpkins, bats or spiders.

Ghost

To make separately hanging ghosts is also not difficult: only a small ball, a piece of gauze and PVA will be needed. The fabric is soaked in the glue and wrung out. After that, it is covered with a ball, lying on the neck of some jar or bottle. The design must be stable. Pretty soon the gauze will dry up, taking the form that was given to it. A can or bottle is removed, a ready-made ghost can be hung on a thin string (fishing line) in the corner of the room. If there are several such figures, they look even more interesting.

Bulk Paper Crafts for Halloween

From paper, you can do not only two-dimensional, but also three-dimensional crafts. In particular, the pumpkin - the main symbol of Halloween - has several variants of execution. The easiest way to make it is to glue it from paper. It is fast and able to even babies.

Therefore, you can create such crafts for Halloween with children who already know how to use scissors or at least glue ready strips.

The pumpkin can be round or flat, for both variants color paper of orange and green colors is required.

The thickness of the strips, their length, shape and appearance of the leaves are all at the discretion of the one who decided to create such crafts for Halloween. With your hands, you can not only decorate the room, but also create souvenirs for party guests - small pendants-pumpkins.

Bats-vampires

Be sure to know those who are crafting crafts for Halloween: the bat always comes in handy where it comes to everything mysterious and ominous. A flock of these bats immediately creates an atmosphere of an abandoned loft of an old house.

The easiest way to make a bat is from black paper or some similar material: cardboard, artificial leather, foamiran. Positioning vampires in the room is better than heap - so believable.

Candles and candlesticks

Crafts on the theme of "Halloween" can be not only purely decorative, but also functional. So, the candles, decorated taking into account the peculiarities of the holiday, will become the main source of lighting in the most terrible night of the year. They can be painted with acrylic paints, depicting a pumpkin, ghost or monster. And the candlestick is easy to make from a simple glass glass, just as it is painted.

Pumpkin head

What kind of Halloween without a pumpkin head, grinning his own unique smile? Anyone can make it from a real vegetable. This will require a pumpkin, a knife and a little dexterity. The middle of the fruit is removed in such a way that the remaining layer is 1.5-2 centimeters. Then gently cut holes in the eyes, nose and mouth. Depending on your mood, your facial expression can be absolutely anything. It only remains to insert a source of light inside the head, best of all, a battery-powered lantern.

The Witch's Cap

When preparing handicrafts for Halloween, you can create costume elements with your own hands. For example, a hood for a witch party or the costume of an evil sorceress. It consists of a flat ring (a circle, with a hole in the middle, under the size of the head) and a cone. Both are easy to cut out of thick cardboard, dye black and glue together. Also from dry branches and sticks from a mop it is possible to create a vehicle of a witch - pomelo.

And something else…

What else can you think of crafts made of paper for Halloween? Yes, any! Every object that gets in your eyes can be turned into something Halloween. Computer disks are modified into ghosts, bottles from shampoos - into vampires, a trash can - into the stupa of Baba Yaga. All kinds of monsters are sewing, knitting, molding from plasticine. Engaging in this seemingly useless affair, one can find in himself many new talents.

And creating crafts for Halloween with children is generally a complete pleasure. They are so happy to create nightmarish characters, that in the process they cease to be afraid of them.
