Making Halloween Paper Tissue Crafts

The thoughts of a dark Halloween night filled with scary bats, ghost and goblins just waiting to jump out and grab a person is what some children look forward too. Aside from the bags and buckets of candy every Halloween, making tissue paper crafts for a Halloween party always completes the Halloween holiday for children. Big kids and little kids equally enjoy making crafts for Halloween like spooky floating bats, ghosts and goblins, features for a pumpkin and glowing luminaries for a dark walkway.

These are just some of the Halloween craft projects a child will have hours of fun creating. As soon as each craft project is completed they can be strung up with fishing lure line to be shown off. As their scary Halloween collection begins to grow, they will become more excited about showing their friends and family the special Halloween decorations that they created for the annual Halloween party.

Over half of the guides that teach children to make Halloween crafts call for "bits and pieces" of tissue. The next pattern is no exception. The materials needed for a spooky floating bat are scissors, black construction paper, black tissue paper and glue. The paper can be torn into bits and pieces of about an inch wide. The bat is drawn and cut out of the black construction paper and dots of glue are applied to the bat. As the bits and pieces of tissue paper are scrunched together against the wet surface the bat is eventually completely filled in. The irregular and shredded pieces of torn tissue stand up from the bat and create a spooky effect.

Goblins and ghosts can be created from white paper that has been shaped over a lollipop or round wooden disk stuck on the end of a dowel. The tissue paper is best layered with two sheets for a more ghostly effect. As the sheets are staggered and draped over the round surface of the disk or lollipop it is tied with a piece of string or pipe cleaner. The eyes and mouth can be drawn on the ghost or goblin and it can hang from the rafters with the spooky Halloween bat.

Instead of supervising the children when carving a face into a pumpkin, allow them to cover the pumpkin in bits and pieces of tissue paper and do away with the messy cleanup and dangerous sharp tools associated with pumpkin carving projects. Children will especially like covering their own small pumpkin with tissue paper of various size pieces. The pieces should not be uniform and should not be glued down flat on the pumpkin. Gluing down only one side of the tissue gives the spooky effect that the pumpkin is peeling.

Larger more concise shapes for the eyes, nose and mouth can be applied afterward with cutouts of black tissue paper. This project is fun and easy for even the youngest child in the family to accomplish with a little help with cutting the pattern for the eyes, nose and mouth. Children will love these Halloween holiday craft ideas using tissue paper as the main material for these projects.
