Wooden Witch Wall or Door Decoration

Halloween would not be Halloween without a witch decoration. This cackling dame is on her trusted broom and on the way to scare a few trick or treaters.

Supplies Needed:

- 4 mm plywood
- acrylic paint in the following colors: flesh, orange, dark green, gold, black, white, dark red, and brown
- thin and long wooden stick
- natural colored raffia
- wire
- assorted paint brushes
- standard wood working supplies like a saw and sand paper
- hot glue gun

Craft Pattern: Witch, Moon and Bat Pattern

Instructions: (see picture for placement of elements)

1. Print out the motif to fit your paper and transfer the markings onto the wood.
2. Saw the motif out and paint the details as seen in the picture above. You can then highlight these details by drybrushing a contrast color onto them. Red was used for orange, white for black, black for brown and green, and brown for the flesh color.
3. Use the gold paint and paint a buckle on the hat, dot the bat’s eyes and add lace details to the witch boots.
4. Tie raffia to the stick like a broom and then hot glue the broom to the backside of the witch.
5. Drill a hole in the top of the witch hat and the top and bottom moon piece. Insert the wire and connect the 2 pieces together.
