I am so excited to be sharing a fun halloween kid craft with you today!


Paper Halloween Lanterns

 

These Halloween paper lanterns make a really fun kid craft. They are perfect for halloween class parties.

To make Halloween Paper Lanterns you will need:

8 1/2 x 11 inch paper in orange, black or white

A stapler

Gluesticks

Ruler

Scissors

 

Kid Craft Halloween Paper Lanterns

To make the lantern, fold a sheet of paper hotdog style (the lengthwise way). Starting on the folded edge, use your ruler to draw lines spacing about an inch apart. Make sure you leave 1/2 inch free space near the adjacent edge.

You can now cut the lines (starting on the fold) using scissors. Make sure to stop 1/2 inch before reaching the edge.

Now, unfold…take one end and wrap around. Staple the top and bottom of the lantern. (image above)

The kids love this part! Using shapes cut out of the paper, add faces to your Halloween creatures.
Ghost Halloween Lantern Paper Craft

For the Ghost, we added black eyes and a big circle mouth.

Bat Halloween Lantern Craft

 

For the bat we added white fangs, creepy red eyes, pointed ears and wings to the back. Try making a black cat or black spider too!

Pumpkin Halloween Lantern

For the jack o’ lantern we used black shapes for the eyes, nose and mouth.

    […] 3. Arma tu mango: Para que la linterna sea útil de transportar necesitarás que una tira culegue de tu mano o brazo. Para ello vuelve a la cartulina y corta un rectángulo largo para luego corcheatear en los extremos. Esto te permitirá iluminar cada paso que des la noche de este 31 de octubre sin perder la tónica de la celebración. Fuente: The Crafting Chicks […]
