Ready for a witch hat DIY project that looks magical and stays put all party long? This cute little hat made of felt and tulle sits snugly on a hairband and adds instant Halloween magic to your costume. Perfect for a spooky party with friends or at school.
Let’s get crafty! Start by placing your witch hat templates onto the black felt and clip them down with pegs. You’ll find the template at the end of this guide – or get creative and sketch your own.
Snip, snip! Cut out your felt pieces carefully. You’ll need a cone shape for the hat tip and a circle for the brim. You are now officially crafting a fabulous witch hat DIY project.
Grab your Pritt Multipurpose Glue and run a line along the straight edge of the cone piece. Roll it like a little ice cream cone and press the edges together. Try to keep that tip nice and neat.
Hold everything in place with pegs or clips and let the cone dry. Now the first part of your witch hat DIY masterpiece is done!
Time to shape the brim. Snip little triangles into the middle of the felt circle so you can fold them up. These will form the tip of the hat.
Tip:
Fold the circle in half first – it makes the cuts much easier!
Unfold the circle and bend those little triangles upwards. Add a bit of glue to the outside of the flaps, so they are ready to hold the cone.
Carefully place your cone on top of the brim, press it down and let everything dry. Your witch hat craft is really coming to life now.
Cut a thin purple felt strip (about 1 cm wide) and a few little stars. The strip should be long enough to wrap around your cone – about 15 cm is perfect.
Dab some Pritt Multipurpose Glue onto the felt strip and stick it around your cone. Glue the stars as decoration onto the hat cone.
Tip:
Got leftover felt or tulle? Use it to cut out cute little decorations. Add bats, googly eyes, or even a cheeky little pumpkin. Your witch hat DIY can be as unique as you are. Anything goes!
Snip a piece of tulle (around 4 cm x 3 cm), gather it in the middle, and tie it with a felt strip to make a cute little bow. It adds just the right touch of charm to finish off your hat.
Glue the bow to the bottom edge of the hat cone. A little charm goes a long way.
