Make a Witch’s Hat Fascinator
How to Make a Witch’s Hat Fascinator is perfect for a Halloween costume or a Halloween party.

One year, my family went to Disneyworld and went to the Not So Scary Halloween party. My girls and I dressed up like witches, but my oldest (16) decided she was too “cool” for a normal witch hat.
So, we made her a Witch Hat fascinator instead, using a mini witch’s hat. She made it herself….. I just supervised with the hot glue.
Today I’m going to share with you how to make one of your own. They are really fun to make, and there are a million possibilities to embellish them with all of the beautiful Halloween crafts you can buy.
Witch Hat Fascinator Instructions
Here’s how to make one.
Supplies Needed
- Black Headband
- Small Witches Hat
- Some flowers (you can make your own if you like, but I didn’t want to)
- Tulle
- Hot Glue
- Needle & Thread
- various embellishments
Step One: Attach Hat to Headband
First thing you need to attach the headband to your hat. I think it’s easiest first to sew the hat on, then hot glue over the stitching. The hot glue will help to keep the mini Witch hat from sliding around on the headband when it is worn.
I’ve made quite a few hats in the past (as I live in Louisville, Kentucky…. you know, the hometown of the Kentucky Derby…), and I always try to avoid the sewing part but trust me, it’s easiest to sew it on, THEN glue it.
After you’ve secured the hat, you can embellish it as you like!
Step Two: Embellish Hat
Embellish the hat as you like; you can use:
- Feathers
- Silk Flowers
- Glitter Buttons
- Tulle
- Plastic Spiders
The options are unlimited, use your imagination! To attach the various embellishments, use hot glue.
That’s all there is to it! This hat makes the perfect addition to a Halloween outfit! Wouldn’t this be cute to wear to a Halloween party? Especially if you don’t want to wear a full costume.
