Here we show you how to make your own skeleton craft using earbuds. It is a great Halloween craft idea for you to enjoy! Why not make a skeleton family!
With thanks to Lizzy, from Mold in North Wales, for sending in this great skeleton craft idea. Let’s take a look at it…
What did you do?
You will need a black piece of card, earbuds, and some glue.
– Draw or print off a picture of a skeleton’s head/face.
– Place the earbuds on the card to create the desired body shape (we used some online searches for inspiration!)
– Some of the earbuds may need cutting smaller or in half to create hands, feet, ribs etc.
– We then used Elmer’s glue to stick everything down. This bit was really quite fiddly so needed a lot of adult input.
– We then placed a piece of paper on top of the skeleton and put it underneath a heavy book to help press the earbuds down in the correct place. It took about 24 hours to fully dry.
It wasn’t just about creating a Halloween picture, it gave us a chance to discuss what’s inside the body as my 5 year old stepson had lots of questions!

My name is Lizzy and I’m from Mold, North Wales. I have a 2 year old little boy called Cole and a 5 year old stepson called James. James has always loved doing crafts and Cole is getting there slowly but he’d much rather be playing with his duplo!
