I love Halloween and coming up with spooky, fun DIY projects. One of my new favorite projects are these Witch Hat Headbands. They would be perfect to wear to your child’s Halloween party at school, wear to work on Halloween or even as a party activity for your own Halloween party. They were a perfect craft activity at my latest WitchCRAFT Party. Let’s get started!

Now it’s time to decorate your hat! Place Self-Adhesive Pearl Jewels all around the outer edge of the cupcake board. Add embellishments like these Black & White Buttons and a Scary Spider with hot glue. There are so many ways you can decorate your hat and Oriental Trading has lots of embellishments to choose from. Get creative and have fun!
