Witchy Hats

Scary witches’ hats are a wonderful option for treating others or gifting as party favors on Halloween.



 They also serve the purpose of table or tree decorations. These hats can be made using various materials but the most essential requirements are heavy craft paper or cardboard, craft knife and black paint. Children and adults both enjoy making these crafts and use them for treating or scaring during Halloween.



 To make these exciting hats, draw a semi circle on the sheet of heavy craft paper or cardboard. Make this semi circle using a compass, circular template or a bangle. Measure about 120 degrees angle from the center and draw a radius through 120 degrees. Make use of the protractor to have the exact angle measurement. Go for bigger size caps, by cutting a bigger circle from the sheet of paper. Cut the sheet of paper along the drawn semi circle using a craft knife or scissors. Cut the semi circle from the heavy craft paper, shape it into a cone. Shape the paper in such a form that resembles a witch’s hat. Glue or staple the paper at the required points or ends.



 Once you are done with the cone shaped hat, draw a full circle on the piece of paper. To draw this full circle, reset your compass to half the length of the radius of semi circle. Cut the full circle and use that sheet of paper for making the base of the hat. This completes the witch’s hat.
