Paper Plate Witch Hats
Combine two simple paper elements to create whimsical, three-dimensional witch hats that can be worn or used as enchanting table decorations. This craft utilizes a standard paper plate for the brim of the hat and a sheet of sturdy construction paper rolled into a cone shape for the pointed top. Kids will love assembling these pieces, which can be secured together using school glue, double-sided tape, or a stapler with adult assistance.
Once the basic structure of the hat is assembled, the decorating options are endless. Children can paint the entire hat a deep, classic black, or go for a modern, whimsical look with bright purples, magentas, or starry blues. Create a stylish hatband using patterned ribbon, orange construction paper, or sparkly tinsel cleaners. To finish the look, kids can cut out bright yellow buckles from glitter paper or attach small plastic spiders hanging from a thread. If you plan to wear them, punch holes on opposite sides of the plate brim and attach an elastic string, turning your little crafters into a coven of adorable witches.
