4 Halloween Paper Cup Craft Ideas

I love how Halloween has such a wide range of decor and craft ideas. But finding inexpensive decor ideas can be hard. Here are 4 ways to use simple, inexpensive paper cups to create fun halloween crafts, decor and treat cups.

Vampire Stationary Holder

Materials:

-1 White paper cup

– Green paper

– Black paper

– White paper

– Scissors

– Cutter

– Pencil/Marker

-Glue Stick

Method:

Step 1: Cut the green paper in the shape of the white paper cup to cover the surface area. If you have a green paper cup you can skip this step completely.

Step 2: Sketch out any shape of bat wings you prefer and cut them out

Step 3: Measure the circumference of the top of the cup and cut out a circle shape of the same size with black chart paper.

Step 4: Stick the black circle shape in the top of the cup to cover the whole.

Step 5: Make a whole with a cutter at the bottom of the cup.

Step 6: Cut two eyes and fangs/teeth/mouth with the white chart paper.

Step 7: Piece it all together. Stick the green paper around the cup, add the bat wings on both sides and stick on the eyes and the fangs.

You could add stationary or even some flowers and add them around the house for that spooky halloween touch.
