Supplies:
- Halloween Designed Scrapbook Paper – 1 sheet for the cone.
- Glitter Paper – 1 or 2 contrasting colored sheets like orange and black for the bottom of the hat, the brim, and the buckle
- Ribbon – A fun Halloween colored ribbon
- Low Temp glue gun and glue sticks – You can use tacky glue, but you might have to use paper clips and rubberbands to hold the cone together while the glue dries.
- Scissors
Extra Equipment:
- A round object for drawing a circle that is one inch wider than the cone hat bottom
Instructions on How to Make a Paper Witch Hat Craft out of Paper
- Start by making a large pie-piece shape from the scrapbook paper. It should be in the shape of a triangle with a curved bottom.
- Roll it up into a cone, securely it with glue, and trim the uneven ends.
- Using a round object about an inch larger than the diameter of the cone circle, draw a circle on one of the glittery pieces of paper for the hat bottom.
- Using the same round object, draw another circle on the other glitter paper (you can use the same paper if that is all you have). Use the cone to draw a circle in the center of the larger circle.
- Cut the middle circle out
- Cut small slits all around the bottom of the cone and fold the tabs outward.
- Slide the circle with the center cut out over the cone and glue it to the outward tabs.
- Glue that onto the other circle cutout for the bottom of your hat.
- Cut a piece of ribbon to fit around the bottom of the hat
- Cut slits into the ribbon so you can shape it to the hat by overlapping the cut pieces until it fits snugly around the hat.
- Cut out a square out of one of the pieces of paper for the witch hat buckle to fit over the ribbon.
Variation
Turn this witch hat craft into a witch hat treat holder. Simply insert a bag of treats under the cone hat. Do not glue the hat to the bottom piece
