DIY An Adorable Witch Hat Wreath To Bring Halloween Vibes To Your Front Porch

When the fall season arrives each year, some of us bring out the colorful pumpkins, while others pull out the broomsticks and cauldrons. If you're part of the latter category, this might be the perfect DIY for you. Anyone who gets into the Halloween spirit by practicing some spells needs the decorations to match. After you've made the cutest witch's broom out of a Dollar Tree toilet plunger and used pool noodles to DIY festive Halloween witch legs for your porch, it's time to get to work on this witch hat wreath to share your magical vibe with everyone that comes to your door. To complete this DIY, you'll simply cover a witch hat wreath frame in cloth, ribbon, and other embellishments, then hang it on your front door.

Making this witch hat wreath requires a few simple supplies you can pick up at Dollar Tree, local craft stores, or online. First, you need to grab a hat wreath form to use as a base for the project, like the Black Metal Witch Hat Wreath Form by Ashland from Michaels or the three pack of Hotop Witch Hat Shaped Metal Wreath Frames on Amazon. To decorate it, you'll need some supplies that are available at Dollar Tree, including the Crafter's Square Chenille Stems (pipe cleaners), some Decorative Halloween Mesh, enough Creepy Cloth to cover the top of the hat, and Halloween Ribbon in whatever colors or patterns you desire. You'll also need a hot glue gun to attach everything to the base.

To begin making the wreath, grab your rolls of creepy cloth (you could also use any other gauzy fabric), add glue to the metal frame, and start to wind the cloth around it, pressing it into the glue as you go. Continue gluing and wrapping the cloth around the form until you reach the bottom. The more times you wrap it around, the fuller the effect will be.

At the bottom of the wreath, tie clusters of ribbons and mesh to form the hat's brim. To make these clusters, cut similar lengths of ribbon and mesh, lay them on top of each other, and then tie the middle off with a pipe cleaner. You can then take the long ends of the pipe cleaner and twist them onto the brim of the wreath. 

Depending on the shape of your hat, you might want to vary your wreath's design. Some forms feature a whimsical curved tip on the hat, while others are straight. To elongate the hat before attaching the creepy cloth, mold curved tin foil onto the top. And don't be afraid to personalize your piece to your liking. Switch up the colors on the ribbons or use a different color for the creepy cloth other than a classic black. It's fun to find unexpected colors to use in your Halloween decor, like pink and neon colors, to represent your unique witchy vibe. Consider adding additional decorations as well, like Halloween Glitter Spiders, witch legs like the Ochine Halloween Wicked Witch Legs, and battery-operated fairy lights.
