Make a Halloween Witches Hat in less than 30 minutes for a not so spooky Halloween decoration. It’s the perfect project to add to your home for the holiday.
I’m usually scrambling to get projects made before the upcoming holidays so I am determined to get things done ahead of time this year. From now until the end of the year I have a goal to stay focused and work on some creative holiday decorations and organizing ideas to share with you.
My goal is to get a project made ahead of time so you have enough time to get it finished way before the holiday. How cute is this Halloween Witches Hat? I think you’re going to want to make one or even a couple for your home. It takes about 30 minutes and that’s only because you need to wait for the paint to dry.
Supplies Needed: Halloween Witches Hat
Paper mache witches hat (Michaels or Hobby Lobby)
White vinyl
1 1/8″ Circle punch (it doesn’t have to be this exact size)
Black paint
Tulle in 3 different colors
Jack-o-lantern pick (Hobby Lobby)
Glitter spider (Walmart)
Decorative pick (Hobby Lobby)
Clear gem
Glue gun
Use a sponge brush to paint the hat black. Wait for the first coat of paint to dry then apply a second coat. This is a matte black not a shiny black paint. I prefer this look but you can use whatever black paint you have available.
While the paint is drying, punch dots out of white vinyl with the 1 1/8″ circle punch. I punched out 14-15 circles. As I said above you can use a different size punch if that’s what you have available. I would say any punch from size 1″ – 1 1/4″ will work well. But you might need to adjust the number of dots you use.
Place the dots randomly on the hat. Rub them on well. I didn’t apply any dots to the brim of the hat but you can if you like.
I had some left over tulle from a previous Halloween costume so I tied it around the brim of the hat. Cut the pieces about 4″ wide and about 40″ long. Since I’m using leftover scraps you can also use ribbon or fabric scraps if you have some.
Gather the tulle pieces together and wrap around the hat. I twisted them together a little so it wasn’t too fluffy. Tie together in a bow and fluff. It’s a pretty messy bow, but I like it.
Glue the gem to the back of the spider for some added bling. Why not, right?!
Use hot glue to add the embellishments to the hat. Glue the black spiral pick to the hat, then glue the jack-o-lantern to the top of the tulle bow. Then place the spider next to the jack-o-lantern. I didn’t glue the spider down because the tulle is holding it on pretty well.
Now I have to decide where to put it. It might show up on the mantel or even the bookcase. We’ll see. If you make a Witches Hat I would love to see it.
