How to Make a Halloween Witch Wreath

1. Make the Wreath Base

Start by making a simple ring-shaped wreath base. There are three easy options.
You can cut a large circle from cardboard and then carefully cut out the middle to create a ring.
You can also use a paper plate. Simply cut out the middle section of the plate to make a wreath shape.
For an easier option, print the provided wreath base template and use it as your guide.

2. Choose the Template Size

The provided templates are designed for A4-size paper.
If you want to make a larger Halloween wreath, change your printer settings and enlarge the template to fit A3-size paper before printing.

3. Decorate the Wreath Base

Color or paint the wreath base in your favorite Halloween color.
Dark blue, purple, black, or orange are great choices.
Another option is to wrap or cover the wreath base with colored paper. Make sure the whole ring is covered neatly before adding the decorations.
Keep it aside and let it dry completely.

4. Print the Halloween Templates

Print the witch hat, witch legs, ghosts, bats, stars, and other Halloween decorations.
There are two easy ways to prepare the pieces.
You can print the templates on white paper and let children color them with crayons or markers.
Or, print the simple shapes directly onto matching colored paper. For example, use black for the bats and witch hat, white for the ghosts, yellow or orange for the stars, and purple for some of the witch details.

5. Cut Out the Halloween Pieces

Carefully cut around the outside outline of each printed piece.
Keep the witch hat, witch legs, ghosts, bats, stars, and other decorations separate, so they are easy to arrange.

6. Arrange the Witch Wreath

Place the finished wreath base on a flat surface.
Start by placing the witch hat at the top of the wreath.
Next, position the two striped witch legs at the bottom so they hang down from the wreath.
Arrange the ghosts, bats, stars, and other Halloween pieces around the remaining spaces on the ring.
Move the pieces around until you are happy with the design.

7. Glue Everything in Place

Once you like the arrangement, glue each piece onto the wreath base.
Press the decorations gently so they stick securely. Make sure the witch hat and hanging legs are firmly attached.
Keep the wreath aside and let the glue dry completely.

8. Add a Hanging Loop and Display

Attach a piece of yarn or ribbon to the back of the top of the wreath to create a hanging loop.
Your Halloween witch wreath craft is now ready to display! Hang it on a wall, classroom door, bulletin board, or another suitable place for a fun Halloween decoration.
