Halloween Crafts 2

Witches' Hats

This bewitching witch's hat makes a great table decoration for your Halloween party.

Be sure to visit all of our other ghostly crafts, our fabulous costume ideas and these spook-tackular Halloween recipes!

What you'll need:

  • 2 sheets of black construction paper
  • 1 sheet felt (green, orange, purple, or red)
  • Strip of black felt
  • White craft glue
  • Scissors
  • Tape

How to make it:

  1. Roll 1 sheet of black paper into a cone. Secure with tape (see image).
  2. Trim the bottom of the cone so that it will stand up on the table.
  3. Use a cup or jar as a guide and cut out a circle from black paper large enough for the hat brim.
  4. Glue the cone to the circle and set aside to dry (see image).
  5. Cut ¼” or ½” strips of felt and glue them around the cone.
  6. Cut a strip of black felt to go around the base of the cone.
  7. If you like, cut a bat out of black felt and glue to your hat.

Tips:

  1. Buy construction paper at the dollar store for plenty of fun projects.
  2. Felt is inexpensive so stock up on 5 or 6 sheets each time you go to the store.
  3. Traditional Halloween colors include black, orange, purple, red and green. However, you can use whatever colors you like for this project!
