Sep 22, How to Make a Homemade Witch Costume for Halloween

Tue, 22 Sep 2009 05:41:40 GMT

Witch's costumes can be easily made from a simple circle of black fabric with a hole for the head, and two arm holes. The secret to a successful witch costume is the accessories, especially the hat. You can buy hats for witches at a low cost, but it is not hard to make a cone and cut out a round brim from black cardboard, and spend some time making sure they are well glued together. You can buy one of those witch face masks with a large, hooked and warty nose, or try making one with paper mache, paint and elastic. A broom made with a stick and a bundle of brushwood wired on at one end is a task to be assigned to the man of the house. For more Halloween Party ideas, visit our Halloween Party page.
