Before & After - Witch Hat

It never fails - every year I wait until the day before Halloween to plan a costume. Most of the time, all the costume stores are picked over. So I created an original costume out of an not-so original witch hat. All I need now is some glitter make-up, black cape and broom!

Before: boring witch hat

Witch hat supplies

Beforehand - paint glitter and gold paint on some extra silk flowers
- just to dull the color a bit.

Stuff  the hat with a bit of quilters batting - so it stays upright.
Wrap glitter tool around hat base.
Attach flowers to tool - I used some furry yarn.
You can also attach black tool the back if you want a darker effect.

After: finished witch hat
