Can you think of some great crafts with only…?
heres a challenge. Can you think of any great crafts to do, with only scissors, coloring supplies, and plain white paper? (maybe glue…)
I am bored, and I want to decorate my room for halloween. Any ideas?
- ideas for other holidays would be great too.
thanks!

if you have wax paper then put glue on it and then put google eyes in it and let dry and then peel them off later
Origami perhaps?
Draw a pumpkin, spider, etc and color. Cut out the spider, and put part of it behind your mirror. It’ll look like its coming out to get you.
Draw some funky letters on the paper, like Happy Halloween in creepy looking letters. Color, cut and hang up on the wall. Do this with any holiday, just change the look and color of the letters.
You can make your own pumpkin out of paper mache. Look it up, takes only glue, water, and paper (and patience!) Make it look like a real pumpkin by painting or coloring when it’s finished. Again, you can do this with anything for the holidays once you get how to make it look right. Takes time, but you said you’re bored!
Either make leaves or go find them outside and iron flat and put up on the windows like snowflakes are done in winter. Just pretty colors and styles.
Here are just a few links, I especially like the last one which is a blog containing links to for example a mechanical paper bat flapping his wings – spooky!

My dad used to make the most amazing paper sculptures using just white paper and scissors. Here are some fun ideas you could build on:

drawings and pictures for the holidays. You can also do origami and set them around your room. Make pictures frames and put pictures of you and your friends in them.
