How To Make A Popsicle Stick Witch Hat Craft

Painting popsicle sticks black for craft

Start by painting the larger craft sticks black. Once they are all set, work on painting the smaller ones orange. Now it is your choice to paint the backsides. We didn’t, as no one will see them. But that option is available.

Before beginning the next step, it is important to make sure that your craft sticks are completely dry. Our hats took about 30 minutes. If they are wet and you glue them together using craft glue, your color will run.

Forming witch's hat with black painted popsicle sticks

This next step is pretty simple. Take your three black craft sticks and glue them onto the form of a witch’s hat. See the picture above as I placed the stick more towards the center than the furthest point.

You don’t want a full triangle.

Adding orange brim using smaller popsicle stick

Now you are set to add in one of the orange craft sticks as your hat brim embellishment. This little piece will make your hat stand out. You could even consider painting it a bright purple.

Now is the time to wait for the frame of your hat to dry.

As your frame to your hat is drying, now is a good time to start working on the inside desire of your hat.

First, choose your favorite pattern from your scrapbook paper stash. Then cut the paper into a triangle, making sure that it is slightly larger than your hat opening, and glue it to the back of the hat.

adding bow to witch hat - using orange ribbon

Now cut a piece of your orange ribbon. Mine measured between 4 and 5 inches. I wasn’t too exact and you can decide how big you would like it as you form it into a ribbon. You can choose not to cut the ribbon from the spool until you have figured out the size of the ribbon you want.

Once you have picked a good size, glue it down to your hat.

And lastly, take that adorable spider embellishment and glue it on top of your ribbon. A-D-O-R-A-B-L-E!!! Now are you done and ready to display your amazing witch’s hat just in time for Halloween!

You can pass these little cuties off to friends as gifts, place them in a boo bucket, or display them in your home. Or you can even add a magnet to the back, and you can turn it into a fridge magnet. The ideas are endless.
