Say Happy Halloween with this spooky Halloween pop up card featuring haunted house, bats, pumpkins and spider web!

Halloween is not just about dressing up it is also about being crafty! We love making their own Homemade Halloween cards for kids to send to their friends.

Quite often we use these as an invitations to our fancy dress party or even trick or treating around nearby houses.

Sometimes we go for handprint cards, which are a great idea for younger kids. This year we thought we would be more adventurous and make a 3D pop up card for Halloween. We have made several before but none for Halloween!

If you like the idea of making your own greeting cards you will love my list of unique pop up cards for different seasons of the year.

Step 1:

Fold the paper in half.

Use the template “card 2” to draw the lines on the closed side of the card.

Step 4:

Cut along the lines.

Fold the flap inwards. You can see what it looks like below

Similarly, make the cuts on the sides.

And then also fold them inside the card.

Glue the pumpkins stem on top of their pumpkins.
