Kids love Halloween (yeah, big kids too, like me!) and making things from recycled materials. So Halloween crafts, like these cute little ghouls made from cardboard tubes, are a bonus all the way around. These little ghouls are very easy to make, but if you want to cut the mess a little, wrap the tubes in colored construction paper instead of painting them.
These would be a great group project, like for scouts or in the classroom. They would also be a fun Halloween party make and take! I got the idea for these from my Halloween Painted Jar Luminaries from 4 years ago.
To make these, first cut each cardboard tube in half. If using paper towel tubes, cut them into fourths.
Paint each one a different color: green, yellow, orange, purple and red.
You can change up the colors if you like!
When the paint is dry draw the faces on using a Sharpie marker.
If you’re looking for more fun Halloween crafts, try these colorful pasta monsters or these plastic lid monsters!
