DIY Witch Hat

Don’t you love Halloween?!

The kids have been so excited it’s hard not to be SO excited myself. I don’t think it’s necessarily because of the candy but because of all the fun events like carnivals, pumpkin patch outings and trunk-or-treats that go on this month!!

My daughter, Lily, is especially excited to be dressing up this year and I decided to make her a cute and simple DIY Witch hat from felt. She was excited for me to make it, so I headed to Michael’s to pick up all the supplies. The best part of all was that it ended up costing just a few dollars and is the perfect addition to her witch costume. What I also love is that it’s a great piece to wear on it’s own if YOU want to be a little festive without dressing up a ton. In fact, I think I’ll be wearing it when Lily’s not looking. 😉

Here is what you’ll need to make this adorable DIY Witch Hat…

SUPPLIES:

– Black Felt (2 large pieces) – found at Michael’s

– Embellishments (spiders and crows) – found at Michael’s

– Hot glue gun and sticks

– Headband

– Lace

DIRECTIONS:

1. Gather all your supplies.

2. Trace a circle onto your large piece of felt (I used a plate). Cut out and cut half way through the circle.

3. Wrap the felt around until it makes a cone. Cut off the excess.

4. Cut another cirlce a little bit larger than the base of your felt cone. I used the glitter black felt that is more stiff for this.

5. Hot glue the cone to the glitter felt. I hot glued lace around the rim to make it more festive and to hide the hot glue.

6. I then hot glued some spiders and a crow to the hat.

7. From there I cut out a piece of felt (I made mine a heart just because) and hot glued it to a headband we had.

Easy peasy!

The whole project took just a half hour to do and cost just a few bucks – SCORE!!

And doesn’t Lily look adorable?! LOVE it!!
