Halloween decorating is really fun, you have a chance to make your house look colorful and funny. And if you use homemade decor, that´ll be even more fun. Today I´ll teach you how to make a cute and funky decoration for Halloween.

You can use leftover materials from other projects and upcycle other decorations, so it´s also budget friendly.

Begin by shaping a glue stick with the scissors. Make one side pointy. Then cut it.

Glue it to the Cristmas ornament.

Prepare the Ornament

Remove the top piece of the Christmas onament and insert the skewer on that hole. If the skewer is way smaller add a little bit of tape to make it fit better. You don´t want it to wiggle.

Paint

Use the green spray paint to cover the ornament. You might need more than one coat.

Draw

Use the black permanent marker to draw a face. Draw different faces on each witch, after all they have different personalities.

Glue the Hair

Wrap a pipe cleaner around your finger, then make the last spirals smaller. Glue it to the top of the head.

Cut a rectangle of black felt to glue it on top of the pipe cleaner.
