Directions:

1. First, cut all pattern pieces from pattern pages. Witch pattern prints on multiple pages and will need to be taped together. Match up the letters and use as a guide when taping together. Tape along the dotted lines.

3. With a jigsaw, cut around the design.

4. Using sandpaper, smooth out the wood around the entire edge of the design.

6. Spray with adhesive spray for wood and using various colors, sprinkle with glitter as desired. (We used blue for boots, orange for stockings & hat, purple for dress, green for face, red for hat, gold for hat band and silver for broom.) Let dry completely.

7. Choose which style glasses you would like for your witch. Trace the glasses pattern on the plywood and with a jigsaw, cut around the design. You will not need to cut out the hole in the middle of glasses. With sandpaper, smooth out the edges.

8. Paint the glasses with latex paint in whatever color desired.

9. To decorate the glasses with glitter, lay the paper mask pattern on the wooden glasses. The eye holes should be cut out of the paper pattern. Spray the eye holes with adhesive spray. Remove paper pattern and sprinkle with glitter in whatever color desired. Let dry completely. Spray the rest of the glasses with adhesive spray. Sprinkle with glitter in whatever color desired. Let dry completely.

10. Using wood glue or a hot glue gun, glue the glasses to the witch’s face.

Door Hanger -

To create a door hanger, screw a hook into the top of the witch’s head and hang to the door with a nail and hammer.
