How to Make a Witch Hat Wreath
Ready to make your witch hat wreath? Below are step-by-step instructions you can follow.
Supplies Needed:
- 1 witch hat wreath form
- Purple mesh
- Orange ribbon
- Black ribbon
- Hot glue gun
- Glue sticks
- Pipe cleaners that match the ribbon and mesh colors
Step 1: Prepare Your Frame
Sometimes the wreath frames at dollar tree come with décor already on them. Remove all of this leaving you with the plain frame.
Step 2: Wrap Ribbon
Take your black ribbon and wrap it around the pointy part of the hat. You could also alternate black and orange ribbon here, or use any other Halloween color of ribbon you want. Use hot glue to hold it in place.
Step 3: Cut the Ribbon and Mesh
Cut your ribbon and purple mesh into a variety of pieces. You will use these to make the bow and bottom of the hat.
Step 4: Scrunch
Scrunch your purple mesh and use pipe cleaners to hold it into poof shapes. Additionally, make a bow with your orange and black ribbon and use a pipe cleaner to hold it in shape.
Step 5: Add the Mesh
Using more pipe cleaners, attach the purple mesh poofs to the base of the witch’s hat.
Step 6: Add the Bow
Using hot glue, attach the bow above the mesh on the hat.
Step 7: Make a Hanger
If your wreath form doesn’t have a built-in hanger, use a length of ribbon, hot glued, to make one.
How to Decorate Your Dollar Tree Witch Hat Wreath
Sometimes the basic wreath can be a bit boring. Use the following steps to jazz up your dollar tree witches hat wreath.
Supplies Needed:
- Faux flowers
- Faux pumpkins
- Ribbon in Halloween colors
- Hot glue
- Glue sticks
- Construction paper
- Halloween mesh
Step 1: Find Your Accent Piece
Every witch’s hat needs an accent. Whether this is a funky ribbon around the center or a faux pumpkin or flower, choose one and set it near the ribbon band.
Step 2: Select a Ribbon
If your witch’s hat wreath doesn’t already have one, select a contrasting ribbon to go around the base of the hat. It should go well with your accent piece.
Step 3:Add to the Bottom
Next, add to the base of your hat. You can hang ribbon, bunch mesh, or use construction paper to add witch legs. You can also add all three if you wish.
Step 4: Choose Something for the Top
Don’t leave the top of your hat bare. Select a nice ribbon to make a bow for the tip of your hat. You can also use a tulle poof.
Step 5: Glue Everything in Place
Once you have laid everything out and decide it all goes well together, use the hot glue gun to glue everything in place.
Let it dry completely, then you are free to hang your decorated witch hat wreath.
