I’ll walk you through some super simple, totally do-able ideas that capture the spirit of Beetlejuice without the stress. Ready to make something spooky and cool?

DIY Beetlejuice Paper Crafts

Beetlejuice Mask

The very first Beetlejuice craft I ever tried was a simple paper mask, and honestly, it was such a blast. I remember grabbing some white cardstock and just sketching out this big oval shape, then giving him that wild, scraggly hair with green streaks that looks like he’s just crawled out of the Netherworld. The funny part? My glue job was so messy the first time that the hair looked like it was falling off his head—but to be fair, that just made it creepier. I added an elastic band so I could wear it, and when I tried it on, I couldn’t stop laughing at how ridiculous it looked.

What I’ve found works best is not aiming for perfection. Beetlejuice’s whole vibe is messy and chaotic, so don’t worry if your lines aren’t straight or if the grin looks a little too wide. That’s the fun part—it makes it yours. If you’re making these for a Halloween party or a movie night, you’ll have people lining up to try them on, trust me.

Beetlejuice Silhouette Wall Art

 

Now, this one is hands down my favorite. There’s just something striking about Beetlejuice’s silhouette—those sharp edges of his spiky hair and that unmistakable grin. I cut out a black paper silhouette and glued it onto a neon green background, and I swear, it looked like it was glowing in the dark (even though it wasn’t). I actually hung mine on the wall right by my desk, and every time I look at it, I get this little reminder of how quirky and fun Beetlejuice is.

In my opinion, this is one of those crafts that looks way more complicated than it is. All you need is patience with the cutting. I once tried this with my niece, and she accidentally gave Beetlejuice one ear that was much bigger than the other. We laughed so hard, and in the end, it just made the piece more unique. Don’t be afraid to let mistakes happen—they often turn into happy accidents in art.

Beetlejuice Pop-Up Card

Okay, so making a Beetlejuice pop-up card was one of those “why not?” moments for me. I was doodling his face one night, and then it hit me—how cool would it be if Beetlejuice literally popped out of a greeting card? I started with a simple fold and then cut out his wacky head to attach inside. When I first opened it, I actually startled myself because the drawing was a little too intense. Honestly, that’s how I knew it worked.
The best part about these cards is the reaction you get when you hand them to someone. I made one for a friend’s birthday, and she screamed, then laughed for like five minutes straight. To be fair, it’s not the most polished card in the world, but that’s not the point. It’s fun, silly, and so Beetlejuice. If you’ve got some patterned paper or even leftover wrapping paper, use that for the background—it gives the whole thing extra character.
