Witches' Hats
By: Amanda Formaro
Difficulty: Very Easy
Age: 5 and up
Parental supervision is recommended
This bewitching witch's hat makes a great table decoration for your
Halloween party.
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). Trim the bottom of the cone so that it will stand up on
the table.
2. Use a cup or jar as a guide and cut out a circle from black
paper large enough for the hat brim.
3. Glue the cone to the circle and set aside to dry.
4. Cut ¼” or ½” strips of felt and glue them around the cone.
5. Cut a strip of black felt to go around the base of the
cone.
6. If you like, cut a bat out of black felt and glue to your
hat.
Tips:
● Buy construction paper at the dollar store for plenty of fun
projects.
● Felt is inexpensive so stock up on 5 or 6 sheets each time
you go to the store.
● Traditional Halloween colors include black, orange, purple,
red and green. However, you can use whatever colors you like for
this project!
