Take a Break: Halloween 2018: Make a Witch’s Hat


I'm going to a "Witches Night Out" party in a few days and I needed a hat to complete my outfit. The  videos below were very helpful in figuring out how to make a hat. However, not having a large piece of card stock or canvas, I used several layers of newspaper. 

You can make this stronger by making the hat, stuffing the peak with crumbled newspaper and adding a layer of paper mache. A simple paste of flour and water is fine to dip the strips of paper. To give a smoother texture, make the final layer paper towels. This will take longer to dry but gives an interesting finish and helps to insure that the newsprint wont bleed through paint. After the paper mache is dry, remove the crumbled paper.
