Every witch needs a broom, right? Ella and Annie wanted our witch puppet to look the part with her broom, worts and green complexion. The patterned scrapbook paper makes for cute clothing on any puppet. Try using velcro on different outfits so that your kids can change the puppets clothing.

The paper bags were a bit long so I trimmed off about 1 ½-2″ from the bottom.
Cut a rectangle 9 ½ x 7″ for the witch’s body from the Halloween card stock. Cut another rectangle 6 ¾ x 4 ½ ” from the green construction paper for the face. Using a glue stick, glue both the body and the face of the witch on.
Cut out the witch hat and hair from the template. Download the Free Witch Template Printable here! Trace the hat on black construction paper. Trace the hair on purple construction paper, twice. Cut all three pieces out.
Glue the hat onto the top of the witch’s head. Glue the hair on the backside of the paper bag on both sides of the face.
Cut a small rectangle from the same paper as the witch’s dress and glue to the hat. Glue on an additional mini black rectangle on top of the patterned paper.
Add a glitter pom pom to the tip of the witch’s hat with hot glue.
Hot glue the googly eyes onto the witch’s face right below the hat. Using a black marker, draw a nose and mouth. Add a few warts for fun!
With brown construction paper cut a small rectangle 2 ¼ x 3″. Cut small slits on one end to resemble a broom. Cut another brown rectangle 5 ¼ x 1 ¼ ” for the broomstick. Glue the broom stick to one end and the broom bristles to the opposite end.
