Halloween calls for a little spooky papercraft, and this origami Dracula is just the thing. Despite the creepy final look, it is a straightforward fold built from a single square sheet — a few diagonal creases, some careful corner folds, and one turn to draw on a face. The result is a flat, skeleton-style Dracula that works beautifully as a card topper, a window decoration, or part of a Halloween display. Because each step is small and pictured, it is an easy make for a classroom, a party craft table, or a quiet afternoon at the kitchen table. Fold a few in different sizes and you have an instant paper haunted house crew.

I will show you how to fold this origami Dracula.

It makes a perfect Halloween decoration, so give it a try.
