Halloween witches hat

Halloween Witches Hat


Hi everyone, I would like to give a tutorial on how to make this Halloween Witches Hat.  This is a cute craft that is easy to make.


Materials Needed:
1/2 yard of Halloween fabric.
light weight Heat & Bond or fusible interfacing
Rick rack
ribbon
Halloween decorations of your choice
Fabric glue
Craft glue or hot glue gun
Polyester fiberfill or news paper
1.  Use about 1/2 yard of Halloween fabric.  This fabric has a black background with white object that kind of look like spider webs.  I think it will work great.  You will need to cut 2 circles about 10" diameter ( I took a dinner plate and traced around it) you will use one circle for the upper brim and one for the bottom of the hat.

2. Cut a 14" cone shape piece of fabric for the top of the witches hat, you will only need to cut one.

3. Cut your fusible interfacing or the heat and bond, the same diameter and shape as the cone and the circle.  You will only need one of each piece.  Press  it on the wrong sides of the fabric.  (For help use package instructons.)


4. Sew the seam on the cone shape piece to make it the hat top.

5. Take one of the circle fabrics and cut a hole in the middle the same diamiter as the base of the cone shaped top, pin and sew the cone to the circle base to form a brim.

6. Stuff with a little polyester fiberfill or news paper.  It  may need something to help it stand up.

7. Sew the bottom of the hat to the brim.  I zigzag around the edge to keep from fraying and used rick rack to cover the zigzag seam. 

8. Decorate it as you please.  I used fabric glue to glue the ribbon on the  hat and a craft glue for the other embellishments.

hairstyle #9 braid buns

Whooa (Big sigh of relief), I am so glad that November is here.  Don't get me wrong I love October  especially Halloween, but now that I am a grown up person Halloween isn't quite as fun as when I was a kid. Or maybe it is still as fun, but now I have to do all the work to prepare for  it. I love this time of year (really who doesn't?) I love the Beautiful autumn colors, and the slight nippy feeling outside. I love sitting by a cozy fire,  and taking really warm baths while the air around me has a slight chill.  Most of all I love Thanksgiving, and being around people I love. Well enough of my sentiments, and on to this really cute and simple hairstyle.This style is cute on everyone, and it is very quick. Which is always a plus when your rushing to get a little one ready for school. First you create two pigtails. Braid each pigtail Wrap the braid around the base of the pigtail and secure the tail into the elastic holding the pigtail. Backcomb the

Book review

I would like to say a word about a inspiring book that I read a while back.   The name of the book is Hitchhikers by Bernard Poduska The true story of one man's amazing journey from a homeless and hopeless childhood to a life of conversion and faith . The story starts in the spring of 1948 when Bernard Poduska and his family was evicted from their home in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Bernard was eight year old at the time, it tells of his family hitchhiking across the country trying to find a place to call home.  It tell of the hard times, and the suffering they went through.  It also tell of how Bernard, being an atheist, finds God.  This is a quote from the book.  " you will never know what's on down the road until you've made the journey; be grateful for any rides others may give you along the way, and whatever your destination, the journey is everything-- make the most of it." I enjoyed this book, it is very different than the run-of-the-mill books.  I incou
