Heckerty’s Halloween Hacks – Day 22 – Crashed Witch

Make crashed witch in school

  • Choose a place to nail the witch, a wall, a door, a tree or a pole.

Begin to make your witch!

  • First you need legs, and a pair of striped tights or long socks work great!

Legs

  • Stuff the feet with paper or old fabric and
  • insert two pieces of wood of equal length.
  • Add shoes. Preferably laced shoes so you can tie them tightly to the ankles.
  • Make sure your legs are of equal length – then nail them to the tree.
  • Using a pair of rubber gloves, stuff the fingers to make the hands look realistic.
  • Then attach them to two more lengths of wood, using rubber bands.
  • Insert the wood with the hands attached into the sleeves of a shirt or sweatshirt
    • best to do it wood stick first from the wrist to the back with the hand going into the sleeve last.
  • Nail the “arms” to the tree.

Crashed Witch Legs and Arms

 

  • We added a cape but you can use a black trash bag for her cloak.
  • Above that attach a wig or lengths of yarn for her hair.
  • And on top of that – nail a black witch’s hat to the tree.
  • Finally – attach a broom to the back of the witch.
    •   You can find brooms cheaply at craft stores and in some supermarkets

And there you have it – a crashed witch.

Viewed from either the back or front, it’s very funny.

Tomorrow – a wonderful wizard ornament!
