Witches hat!


I still can't believe October is only a week and a half away. Where has this year gone?! I especially love fall, the beautiful weather, warm cozy sweaters, a nice hot cup of hot chocolate and a piece of pumpkin bread. & all the fun crafts!!! 

I of course had to go to my fav wood store, Wood Creations Crafts, and see what fun stuff they have up their sleeves and found this super cute witches hat. I normally always make wreaths for holidays, but already have a Halloween one, so I decided to mix things up a bit this year. 

Here's how all the crafts start out. The wood is cut and comes with all the pieces, you get to paint and embellish them yourself! (This is the back of the hat. I only paint the back and the edges because the paper will be on the front side) 

 
Next, you have to trace your paper and cut it out. This one was a little difficult because I used 4 different pieces of cardstock. 


Here's all the cardstock cut out. 

 
Now you Modge podge the paper, and let dry. Make sure to try to get all the wrinkles out while it's wet. 

 
All glued! The next 2 steps are completely optional I just do them for the look of it. I sand paper the edges to make sure the paper is fitted perfectly and not hanging off the edges. 

 
I then use black or brown eyeshadow and a brush and apply to the edges.
 

Like I said it's completely optional but here's what it looks like. I like the rustic antique look to it. 


Now glue your hat buckle down! I added the star with some wire and hot glue and complete!! 


This is the hat my friend did, I especially love her colors, super festive and adorable!! 


Thanks for stopping by! 
Happy Halloween crafting!
