It’s never too
early to start planning your Halloween table. As we know, your centerpiece can
make or break the décor for the event, and is a fairly simple way to dress up
any affair. Halloween is no exception to this rule. I like to create a table
that isn’t so scary, as I find it hard to eat with bones, rats and fake blood
every where. These adorable glitter witch hats are the perfect balance of cute
and scary. Paper mache hats are covered in black paint, glitter, ribbon, polka
dots, tulle and are adorned with glittered birds and spiders. Add votive
candles, glittered pumpkins and festive plates and napkins to complete the
look.
Below is a
guide to follow to re-create these hats. Pick and choose how you want to
decorate your hats and use different ribbons, glitters and Halloween accents.
Supplies:
3 paper mache
hats (I purchased mine at Michael’s Craft Store)
Paintbrushes
of various sizes
Black paint
Silver glitter
paint
Modge Podge
Printed
scrapbook paper
Medium sized
circle hole punch
Tulle (6" roll)
Ribbon
Hot glue
Decorative
Halloween accents
Directions:
- Paint hats black and allow to dry. Repeat this process until they are one solid color. Once dry paint one coat of silver glitter paint, and allow to dry completely.
- Meanwhile take the medium sized circle hole punch and cut circles out of the different color scrap paper. Place on hat and cover the circles with Modge Podge, allow to dry.
- This is the fun part! Here I added tulle around the edges of the hat and tied a bow. You can add bows, ribbon, branches, etc. whatever you think will look best. I then attached a decorative Halloween accent in the center of the bow.
