Trace the bottom of your cone onto the purple paper plate that you painted in Step 1. Using a craft knife, cut a small circle slightly smaller than the traced circle you just made. Cut the circle from the purple paper plate. Cut small slits into the cone shape along the bottom. Insert the cone hat through the base of the purple paper plate and use clear tape to hold the cone in place. Apply a thin layer of the green glitter glue to the witch hat. Make sure to have an adult do the steps using the craft knife.
