Witch Hat
I love me some polka dots! So I thought some white polka dots would make a fun look for this funky mini witch hat I made for Michaels on behalf of DecoArt. It got the most votes in the Halloween category on DecoArt’s website. yay!
Halloween Craft
Polka Dot Witch Hat Tutorial
Supplies:
- paper mache witch hat from Michaels
- DecoArt Black Gloss Enamels
- DecoArt White Gloss Enamels
- feathers
- halloween ribbon
- hot glue gun
- vinyl {scraps work great}
- 3/4″ circle paper punch
- Paint the paper mache witch hat with 2-3 coats of White Gloss Enamels. I cheated and used a hair dryer to help the paint dry quicker between coats. Make sure the paint it thoroughly dry.
- Use the circle hole punch to cut circles from the vinyl.
- Then apply the vinyl circles to the witch hat in an even polka dot pattern.
- Paint another coat of white Gloss Enamels over the polka dots to help seal the edges and prevent the black from leaking into the polka dots.
- Then paint 2 coats of Black Gloss Enamels over the hat allowing to dry between coats. {again, I used my hair dryer to speed things up a bit}
- Remove the vinyl dots.
- Use a hot glue gun to apply a couple coordinating Halloween ribbons around the crown of the witch hat.
- Hot glue a couple feathers at the crown of the hat.
- Then hot glue a big bow over the ends of the feathers to complete the look and you have a cute little witch hat to decorate with this Halloween!
