DIY Witch Hat Halloween Wreath
Create a not-so-spooky DIY Halloween Wreath using a simple paper mache Witch Hat, a feather wreath, and a few fun Halloween decorations!
I’m a bit of a nut for all things Halloween (the fun, creative, sparkly stuff, not the gory stuff), so I was surprised to discover that I didn’t have a Halloween wreath!
I saw some adorable little witches’ hats at the craft store and thought they’d be the perfect addition to a wreath.
I also picked up the peacock feather wreath at the store I didn’t attach all of the feathers it came like that. I only needed a few modifications to attach the hat to the wreath. Here’s how I did it.
This wreath is made from a pre-purchased wreath made with feathers. Due to the feathers and paper witch hat, it’s best to use it indoors.
Supplies for Witch Hat Wreath
- Paper Mache Witch Hat
- Black Craft Paint
- Purchased Wreath: I used a feather wreath, but you could also use any simple Halloween-looking wreath from the store.
- Black and White Striped Ribbon
- Roll of Black Tulle
- Wire
- Hot Glue
- Small Hanging Sign
- Spiders or other Small Halloween Decorations
Directions
Step One: Prep the Hat
To get the witch hat to lay flat on the wreath, you need to cut a wedge out of the back of it.
Measure the width of your wreath and cut the hole in the witch hat slightly larger than that width. The feathers will hide most of the cut, so you don’t need to be super precise.
Mine cut quickly with heavy-duty scissors.
Step Two: Paint
After you’ve cut the hat, apply a coat of black paint.
Punch two holes in the back of the hat, thread a wire through the holes, and use the wire to attach the hat to the wreath.
Finishing
Decorate the Witch Hat as you like. I added some black tulle, a glittery spider, and some striped ribbon.
To finish the wreath, add a large bow (learn how to tie a bow for a wreath here). Attach the bow to the wreath using some of the floral wire. You can also use the wire to create a loop to hang the wreath.
I added a “Happy Halloween” sign I purchased at the craft store as a final touch.
