Cut Out Patterns and Form Cone
Download and print witch's hat template, attached above. Cut out the circle and cone shapes. Trace the patterns onto black card stock or craft foam then cut out. To create cat ears, cut black triangles and smaller white triangles from craft foam or card stock (Image 1). To create the witch's hat, glue ends of the cone cut-out together with hot glue (Image 2).
Cut Out Shapes From Card Stock
Cut a circle and triangle shapes out of black card stock or craft foam to form the parts of the witch's hat. To create cat ears, cut black triangles and smaller white triangles from the same material.
Form a Cone for the Witch's Hat
Using the cut out for the cone, twist the two ends together to form the cone shape. Using a hot glue gun, secure the two ends together.
Assemble Witch's Hat and Cat Ears
Glue the cone to the top of the cut-out circle to form a witch's hat (Image 1). Embellish with a band of bright green ribbon and a plastic spider (Image 2). Finally, glue the hat to one side of a headband. For the cat ears, glue the white triangle layer to the black triangle, then use hot glue to attach the ears to the center of the headband (Image 3).
Glue Cone to the Cutout Circle
Set the cone on top of the cutout circle and run the glue gun along the outside of the cone to secure the two pieces together.
Add Embellishments to the Witch's Hat
Using the glue gun, add a ribbon around the witches hat. For added fun, glue a spider to the brim of the hat too. Finally, glue the hat to one side of a headband.
Glue Cat Ears to Headband
Finally, for the cat ears, glue the white triangle layer to the black triangle, then use hot glue to attach the ears to the center of the headband.
