1. How to make Halloween Witch with Handkerchief
How to make witch at home using handkerchiefs
Total Time: 7 minutes
Witch broom: Step 1
Cut brown construction paper in half (8.5″ x 5.5″ for letter size) and fold it in half to make 4.25″ wide.
With the loop side down, make thin slits leaving 1 inch from the top.
Witch broom: Step 2
Wrap a chopstick tightly around the paper.
Witch broom: Step 3
Once remove the chopstick and wrap the rolled paper with an elastic band.
Put the chopstick back and slide the elastic between the chopsticks and the rolled paper to hold it in place so that it does not move. (You can also use a hot glue gun or wood glue when rolling, instead.)
Witch Hat
Draw two circles with a compass on a black construction paper, one 5″ and the other 1.5″ in diameter.
Fold in half and cut along the line with scissors.
This loop becomes the brim of the hat.
(The size of the circle depends on the fabric used. It may be necessary to adjust the size of the small circle at the end of the entire process.)
Witch: Step 1
Spread the cloth flat and place the book diagonally in the center.
Grasp all four corners and tie with elastic.
Witch Step 2
To make arm, select a short corner and fold it in thirds to make it thinner.
Fold it inward about an inch from the tip to make a hand.
Do the same with the other arm. Put both hands together, place the broom between them, and tie the hands and broom together with an elastic band.
Witch Step 3
Take one of remaining corner (closed to you) and make a loosen knot to form the base of face.
Place a cotton pad on top of it and cover it with the stretchy cloth.
Witch Step 4
Shape it round, take the other corner, fold the tip over and cover the face, and tie the face and corner together at the neck with an elastic band.
Witch Step 5
Draw eyes and front hair with color pens.
Put a black cloth over the head.
Witch Step 6
With room above the head, tie the neck with an elastic band.
Put the brim of the hat through it and your witch is completed.

Step 8

Tie this string to the string in step 10 and your hanging witch is ready!
The concept of this site is not to cut or use glue so that the cloth can be reused and recycled.
All the fabric squares used to make the witches can be reused for other purposes after Halloween is over.
