#1 HALLOWEEN DIY WITCH COSTUME

I made a YouTube tutorial you can follow. Trust me, I am no expert, just a mum with a desire to help and share. If I can do it, so can you!

Material needed

• Black paper – preferably a thicker one (8 inches)
• Divider, or use a pen and a thread as I did to make a half-circle
• Scissors
• Glue
• Crepe paper or any other suitable soft fabric. I used one from a gift wrapping bag.
• Hot glue gun for spiderweb. If you don’t have one, you can just draw it with some paint or add stickers
• Decorations – anything you find at home: some glitter, diamonds, spiders… Whatever comes to your mind
• Thread and a needle
• Skinny headband or a hair clip – depends on what you will do
