Halloween patterns

Spooky but friendly designs for Halloween: bats, ghosts, pumpkins, a spider web, a witch hat and candy corn, for beads, thread and knots.

Quick makes for the season

Halloween crafts tend to be made in the last week of October, so most of these designs are small and quick. Fuse bead ghosts and bats are ideal for children and can hang in a window the same day. Alpha bracelets in candy corn colours make easy party favours, and small cross stitch motifs fit on cards and treat-bag tags.

Spooky, not scary

The designs are friendly enough for young children: round-eyed ghosts, grinning pumpkins and cartoon bats rather than gore. Black, orange, purple and white carry the theme, and a single bright accent, such as yellow eyes or a red spider mark, makes each piece pop.

Glow in the dark

Many fuse bead ranges include glow-in-the-dark beads. Swap them in for white or light colours on ghosts and webs, but check that the bead size matches your pegboard first.

The Halloween Perler bead patterns collect every spooky design that fits a single pegboard, from ghosts to jack-o'-lanterns.

Frequently asked questions

What is the easiest Halloween pattern for kids?

The fuse bead ghost and bat use only four colours and big shapes. An adult should do the ironing.

Can I make Halloween bracelets for a party?

Yes. The candy corn alpha bracelet is 12 knots wide and takes a couple of hours; for many favours, a simpler striped bracelet in orange and black is faster.

Are the patterns free?

Yes, all are free to download, with printable PDFs and materials lists.

Can I turn a design into a different craft?

Open it in the editor and choose another craft: a bead bat can become a cross stitch card or a pixel sprite.
