Conjuring up this charming witch’s hat wreath, right, doesn’t require casting any difficult spells. Simply cut its shape from a piece of lightweight wood, and doll it up with decorative moss and ribbon.

MATERIALS

• Witch Hat pattern
  
• Lightweight wood, such as basswood, balsa, or thin plywood
  
• Jigsaw
  
• Sandpaper
  
• Preserved moss
  
• Hot-glue gun and glue sticks
  
• Decorative ribbon
  
• Decorative ornament
  

INSTRUCTIONS

Enlarge the Witch Hat pattern; cut out. Trace the pattern onto a piece of lightweight wood and cut out using a jigsaw or fine handsaw. Sand to smooth any rough edges.
Arrange preserved moss to cover the entire wood hat; adhere using hot glue. Cut a piece of ribbon 3 inches longer than the width of the hat just above the brim. Position the ribbon on the hat; wrap the ends around to the back and secure with hot glue. Use a different ribbon or decorative ornament to make a square buckle, and glue it centered on top of the first ribbon.
