Let this little witch brew up a little Halloween mystery on a side shelf or small table.

Supplies:

Printable Pattern Pieces
1 1/2 inch clay pot
1 1/4 inch wood doll head
Black and Purple paint
Black felt
Medium wood candle cup
1 3/8 inch axle peg
Hot glue gun and glue [use only when other glue is not specified]
Scissors
13 mm pony bead star [gold]
Tacky glue [use only where indicated]
Purple glitter
Black doll hair
Purple rhinestone
Cotton Ball
Coloured pencils

How to:

Paint candle cup black, inside and outside. Paint clay pot purple. Allow paints to dry.

Cut pattern pieces from black felt. Fold the hat piece with straight edges together and glue the straight edges together at the seam to form a cone shape. Turn hat right side out to hide seam inside. Glue bottom of cone to centre of hat brim piece to complete the hat.

Glue pony bead star to the top of the cone. Apply tacky glue to the hat brim edge and at dots indicated on jacket pattern. Sprinkle purple glitter over glue, allow to set and shake off excess.

Glue wood doll head to clay pot bottom. Glue black doll hair to top of wood doll head. Glue hat on top of head/hair. Fold jacket piece collar as indicated on pattern and glue to clay pot as shown. Glue rhinestone to the center top of jacket.

Study the face diagram at right; use coloured pencils to draw in the eyes, nose, mouth, and eyebrows then colour cheeks lightly with red pencil.

Pull apart a cotton ball so that it is very loose. Stuff inside of candle cup, insert axle peg and secure in place with a dot of glue. Leave little shreds of cotton overflowing candle cup
