The spooky season is nally upon us, and we’re ready to embrace our inner witches! These whimsical and witchy door
hangers are cheap, easy, and – most importantly – fun to make. We sourced the materials from our local dollar store and completed this project for less than $20!
How to Make It:
4)Remove the tinsel wire from the bottom of the witch hat to expose the frame of the hat. You will use this to tie the decorations onto. You can also twist together a few pipe cleaners to tie the decorations to and then attach to the hat if your hat does not have removable tinsel.
5) Tie pieces of mesh and ribbon to the frame of the hat (or to your pipe cleaners), adding mesh loops as you go. Make sure to tie these tightly!
6) Using a pipe cleaner, attach the spider or other embellishment to the hat. Attach the legs to the bottom of the hat so they hang down below it.
