How to Make a Halloween Birdie Witch.

This is 'Bad Jelly The Witch!'

To make her we needed these supplies...
a little bird (found in craft stores)
a little broom (also found in craft stores)
Halloween paper
glue
sticky tape
scissors
glue gun


To make the witches hat, cut a circle (just the right size for your hat's brim) and a half circle (about double the size) from the halloween paper.

Roll the half circle to form the pointy hat and secure it with a tiny piece of sticky tape.

Put an ample amount of glue onto the top of the brim circle you cut out before (you can see how much glue we used as it is purple when wet and dries clear). Stick the pointy part of the hat onto the brim.

Let the hats dry in the sun. Let me warn you... this is the difficult part of this craft for a 5-year-old! Patience is definitely a learned skill that my 5-year-old is struggling to learn. Luckily the hats dried in about 15 minutes but I was asked at least 30 times if they had dried yet!

At last we could finish 'Bad Jelly The Witch!' We used my hot glue gun to stick the hat onto her head and then we stuck her onto her broom stick...
Isn't she a scary one!

Blessings and magic.
