MATERIALS

• Recycled cardboard
• PVA glue
• Egg carton
• Paints and brushes
• Scrap fabric
• Sharpie or black pen
• Wool or yarn
• (Optional) Stick and garden yarn for a broomstick

1. CREATE THE BASE

✔️Draw an oval shape onto a piece of recycled cardboard (you can trace around a tin or plate).

✔️Cut out the oval.

✔️Paint the cardboard in a fun Halloween design - try stripes, orange, purple, green, or a spooky pattern!

✔️Set aside to dry completely.

2. MAKE THE WITCH

✔️Cut out a dress shape for the witch from scrap fabric. You can also paint a pattern onto it if you like.

✔️To make the hat, cut the pointed cone section from an egg carton, then cut it down the middle.

✔️Cut out a semi-circle from the egg carton - this will be the hat brim.

✔️Cut a small oval or circle from the egg carton for the witch’s face.

3. PAINT & DECORATE

✔️Paint the hat and face, then let them dry.

✔️Once dry, draw the witch’s face using a Sharpie or pen.

✔️Add extra details - maybe a bit of fabric or ribbon on the hat.

✔️Cut some wool or yarn, pull it apart to make it fluffy - this is your witch’s hair.

4. ASSEMBLE THE WITCH

✔️Use PVA glue to stick everything down in layers:

• First the dress
• Then the head
• Then the hair
• Finally the hat

5. FRAME YOUR ARTWORK

✔️To make a frame, glue macramé rope or string around the edge of your oval.

✔️Leave a loop at the top for hanging. (Alternatively, cut a cardboard frame to look like wood and glue it around the edge.)

Optional: Make a Witch’s Broomstick

1. Find a small stick.
2. Wrap garden yarn around your hand about 10 times.
3. Slide it off your hand and cut the ends.
4. Tie a short piece of yarn near the top to hold the loops together.
5. Insert the stick into the tied end and knot it tightly to secure.
6. Cut and trim the bottom so it looks neat.
7. Glue or tape the broom to your wall hanging!

🧙♀️ Tip: Add glitter, stars, or spooky stickers to make your wall hanging extra magical!
