4 Low Cost Halloween Craft Ideas
by Nicola Kennedy
There are many Halloween crafts you can
make for very little cost. Some are quite popular and kids enjoy doing
them over and over again. Here are some Halloween crafts I have seen done
by children many times over the years:
Tissue Ghost - o Take a lollipop - the
large, round varieties work best. o Cover the lollipop with a tissue or
two. o Tie the tissue onto the lollipop with white string or yarn. o Draw
a face on the tissue with colored markers.
Halloween Placemat - o Take construction
paper - Halloween colors like orange, white and black are often used. o
Cut out black cats, pumpkins or Jack-O-Lanterns, spiders, and ghosts - you
can use an Ellison machine if you have access to one. o Take another piece
of construction paper. o Glue the cut-outs onto the whole piece of paper.
o Cover the entire creation with clear contact paper.
Styrofoam Spiders - o Take a large
styrofoam ball - paint it black. Leave it dry. o Once dry, glue two googly
eyes on the painted sphere. o Stick black pipe cleaners into the styrofoam
for the legs.
Halloween Mobile - o Take construction
paper - Halloween colors like orange, white and black are often used. o
Cut out black cats, pumpkins or Jack-O-Lanterns, spiders and ghosts - you
can use an Ellison machine if you have access to one. o Laminate or cover
all the cut-outs with clear contact paper. o Punch one hole in the
laminated cut-outs. o Take a paper plate. o Decorate the plate with
Halloween colors, Halloween stickers, markers or crayons. o Hole punch 5
or 6 holes around the edge. o Tie the laminated cut-outs to the paper
plate with black thread or black yarn. o Hole punch 2 holes in the center
of the paper plate. o Tie a piece of black string or yarn through the two
holes for hanging.
There are complete books of Halloween
crafts that you can purchase or check out from your public library. You
can also find ideas on the internet. You don't have to spend a lot of
money to have an activity for your kids to do.
