Halloween Witch Hat Craft
Make a fun and colorful rocking witch hat using just paper, scissors, and glue. This is the perfect easy Halloween craft for kids that’s simple to make, playful to display, and full of spooky charm!
Materials
- Colored Construction Paper
- Scissors

Instructions
- Start with the base
Cut a large circle from purple construction paper. This will form the rocking base of your witch hat. Fold the circle in half to help it balance when finished.
- Create the hat shape
Using another piece of purple paper, cut a tall, curved triangle shape (almost like a cone, but flat). This will be the pointed part of your witch hat.
- Add colorful dots
Cut out small circles from yellow and orange construction paper and glue them onto the hat for decoration. These spots give your Halloween witch hat a fun and whimsical look.
- Attach the hat to the base
Glue the bottom edge of your hat shape to the folded purple circle. This will create the “rocking” effect when it stands up — the perfect motion for a playful paper witch hat craft.
- Add the brim and buckle
Cut a curved orange strip for the brim and a yellow square with a hole in the middle for the buckle.
- Glue these onto your hat for that classic witch hat design.
