1 black dupioni, 1 buckram, 1 felt for the cone. ![]() 2 buckram, 2 felt for the brim (remove the seam allowance along outer circumference).Once you have your pattern pieces, remember to add seam allowances to all edges.Connect the two long side edges with a lower curved edge. Create the Hat Cone pattern by rolling pattern paper into a cone of your desired height (we made ours 15″ tall) until the lower opening of the cone is the right size to fit the center hole.Add a seam allowance to the pattern to the inner circumference of the center hole. We made ours 18 inches across with a 6″ diameter center hole. Instead of working with pre-determined measurements, we found it easiest (and more fun!) to play around with paper shapes and try them on as we were working. Work out the pattern pieces on paper first, and try them on your head to make sure you like the size and shape. Step-by-Step Instructions Create the pattern pieces We used wool felt from our stash, but any craft felt will do as well! Black Felt (hat underlining and lining).Green Silk Dupioni (bias band and bow ).We used true millinery techniques to create a beautiful hat that you will treasure for many years to come! Resources Or use it in your Halloween decor. They would also be perfect to make for a girls’ Witches Tea Party, don’t you think? Thanks so much for having me over, Vanessa! Y’all come visit me at The Scrap Shoppe sometime.Top off your Witchy Halloween costume with this easy pointy witch hat. Wear it to a Halloween party or out trick-or-treating with the kiddos! But you can add any extra embellishments that you see fit! Now you just need to decorate the hat! I added some cute ribbon to the base to cover up the fringe and topped off the top with a button. Slip the circle back over the top of the hat and secure the fringe to the adhesive. ![]() Once you are satisfied that you have a good fit, take the circle back off and apply double-sided adhesive to the bottom edge of the party hat. If it doesn’t quite reach the base then you need to cut the fringe a little longer. If it fits snugly then you are good to go. Slip the round piece of paper over the top of the party hat and push down to the base. Use scissors to cut fringe around the inside of the circle then fold up. Cut out the circle then cut another circle within the first circle that is smaller than the diameter of the hat ( ~5†inches). It should be about 6 1/2 inches in diameter. Place the party hat on the second sheet of scrapbook paper ( the double-sided paper) and measure out ~1 inch from the edge of the hat to see how wide the brim should be. Use double-sided adhesive to adhere the paper to the party hat. Unfold the party hat and use it as a template to trace on one of the pieces of scrapbook paper then cut it out. I have several left over from previous birthday parties, but you can find them just about anywhere. You will need 2 sheets of Halloween-themed scrapbook paper ( 12×12), and one of them needs to be double-sided. And these are really simple to make and so inexpensive. Today I’m going to show you how you can upcycle a plain old paper party hat into a fun little witch hat perfect for your little Halloween witch, or even as a cute fascinator hat for yourself! Or use it as part of your Halloween decor! I think it looks super fun on a pumpkin. ![]() There’s no glitter on today’s project ( but there could be!), but there IS ribbon! With a house full of boys, these holidays are the perfect excuse to get out the ribbon and glitter. Hi there! I’m Michele from The Scrap Shoppe, and I’m so excited to be part of Vanessa’s 30 Crafty Days of Halloween again this year! Next to Christmas, Halloween is my favorite holiday to decorate for.
