Witch Hat


Is there a witch in your life?

Feather Trim

Well I have the perfect hat for her!

Halloween

Creepy rodents, glittery spiders and sparkly pumpkins included.

I wasn't going to decorate for Halloween this year. Just seasonal autumn stuff. Then I saw "her", this hat in a magazine. Actually she was in an advertisement for Floralcraft. Anyways I knew then I would have at least one Halloween decoration.

I already had most of the supplies needed for the project, a determining factor in the decision to make the hat. I ended up making two.


*Basically you cut and angle the Styrofoam cone a few times.

*Glue the pieces together. (I used my hot glue gun, which worked, but there was some sizzling involved, kids don't try this without permission).

*Cut a large cardboard circle, paint it black, for the hat brim.

*Wrap the cone and circle many times in black mesh, it only took one roll of mesh for both hats.

*I added orange ribbon around the base of the cone.

*Glue the cones to the brim/cardboard circles.

*Glue the feather boa from Michael's to the edges of hat brim.

*Paint some small plastic spiders, mice and pumpkins with ModPodge and sprinkle glitter on them.

At the bottom of this post is a link to the instructions on the Floralcraft website.

I added a rhinestone heart and some beads, even a witch enjoys some bling!

Here she is in all her glory!

Had a little to much fun playing with the filters at Picmonkey..

Below is a shot of the "girls"  setting on their stands. I am calling them Maia and Millie. After two little sweeties I know. Hoping they both have a wonderful Halloween!
