My daughter and I absolutely love making crafts together for each holiday. In addition to our recent footprint crafts, she and I have also delved into the world of origami. For our first Halloween origami project, we tried our hand at folded paper ghosts.

Step 1

Fold the paper square in half diagonally and crease. Open the square.

Step 2

Fold both sides into the center and crease.

Step 3

Fold the two short sides into the center and crease to create two pockets.

Step 4

Unfold one of the bottom pockets. Gently fold and collapse the pocket.

Step 5

Repeat on the other pocket.

Step 6

Fold the two sides of the collapsed pockets into the center and crease.

Step 7

Fold down the center points.

Step 8

Fold the top point down backwards.

Step 9

Fold the bottom point up.

Step 10

Fold the end of the bottom point down.

 

Step 11

Use the black maker to draw a face on the ghost.
