Step 2: Paint the Base

Paint the entire paper plate base with your chosen colors. A witch’s face typically includes green skin, so use green paint for the skin, and you can add if you want black and purple accents as desired for the witch’s features. Allow the paint to dry completely before moving on to the next step. You can speed up the drying process with a hairdryer.

Step 3: Create Holes for eyes

Using a pencil and a soda cap, sketch the outline of the witch’s eyes on the back of the paper plate. Carefully cut out the outline you’ve drawn.

Step 4: Decorate Your Witch’s Face

Once the base is dry, it’s time to give your witch a personality.

  • Use the orange cardboard to make witches hair. Cut thin strips and fold them into zigzag shape:

  • Use the black cardboard to make a hat, by simply cutting a triangle:

  • Get creative with your witch’s appearance by adding glitter, sequins, or craft feathers that can make for fantastic eyebrows or eyelashes.
  • Use acrylic paint to add details like the nose and mouth. You can also add warts and wrinkles to give your witch a spooky vibe.

Step 5: Stick the handle

Stick the wooden popsicle stick to the backside of the plate using a piece of clear packing tape to make the handle.
