How to Make Your Very Own Fabulous Witch Hat
Going out with girlfriends to Witches Night Out at Granny’s Korner in Tomball, Texas for a little pre-Halloween fun calls for a special witches hat! Inspired by the “best hat” contest, exceeding craftiness and my lack of funds, I decided to go online and find a tutorial for making a witch’s hat. I didn’t think it would be very hard. (Spoiler alert: it wasn’t).

I found this lovely YouTube video by Nightskylullaby. I love the video, but there were a few fundamental steps left out. It took me some trial and error before I got the right size brim/opening. I ended up using the old trick my mother taught me with the tape measure and a pencil (or protractor, in this case).
I cannot stress this enough: MAKE A PAPER PATTERN. After cutting the brim out of black and purple felt, I hand sewed them together with a blanket stitch, like the video said. If you’re in a hurry, this could easily be done with a sewing machine using the zig zag stitch. You could use a piece of bias binding tape for a nice finish too. I cut the hole for the head out here as well.
After the brims were together, I inserted the wire. This was a great idea from Sheila—if it wasn’t for the wire the hat would be a floppy mess! I cut the wire to match the circumference of the outer edge of the brim then looped the wire ends around each other to close a circle. Once that was in place, I used a running stitch and embroidery floss to create the “casing.” Basically, I stitched about a half inch from the edge of the brim to hold the wire as close to the edge as possible.
Returning to the video, I measured out the remaining felt for the rest of the hat. I didn’t have enough purple to make it the proper length, so I pieced it together using some black. Turned out well, I think.
I cut out the top pieces, used a zig zag stitch to sew the black to the purple, then sewed trim over it to cover the line and make it look like I meant to do that. I closed up the back and attached the cone to the brim, using the zig zag stitch.
Following the directions on the video, I also gathered/bunched the top so it looked crooked. I adjusted the wire rim to something I was happy with and played around with some different styles.
The hole is a little too big, so I need to add an interior hatband to adjust fit. For that I’ll just cut some felt that fits my head exactly and sew it in to the hat.
Finally, all that’s left is the fun part: embellishing! I created a feather medallion like the ones that used to be featured on cowboy hats in the 70s and 80s, appliquéd some gorgeous black lace up the back to cover the seam and couched a big black satin ribbon around the base using silver jump rings. Once things were positioned in a way I liked, I sewed it all down. The finishing touch was a black stone faceted bead sewed to the tip!

Quick Steps
1. Cut pattern- DO IT
2. Cut felt (video for using tape measure & soap to make a circle)
3. Hand stitch brim layers together
4. Insert wire (cut wire length to match brim circumference; join wire ends to form circle)
5. Running stitch “casing” for wire brim
6. Cut hat; attach trim (I had to piece it b/c not enough felt)
7. Sew hat to brim (I used zig zag stitch to finish edge as I sewed); sew folds/bends in tip of hat per video instructions
8. Apply lace, ribbons, beads, net, feathers as desired for effect (see shopping list below); cardboard or foam can be cut into a triangle, then wrapped in a cylinder (like a pope hat) and inserted to make the hat stand up more firmly

1. Sarah - 1 star
I recently purchased the "2023 witch doctor 200 shot firework" and was extremely disappointed with the product. First of all, the packaging was misleading and made it seem like I would get a spectacular display of colors and effects. However, when I lit the firework, only a few sparks and crackling sounds were produced. The lack of any real visual effects left me feeling cheated and unsatisfied. I would not recommend this firework to anyone looking for an exciting and impressive display.
2. John - 2 stars
I was excited to try out the "2023 witch doctor 200 shot firework," but unfortunately, it didn't live up to my expectations. While the firework did produce a decent amount of noise and sparks, the overall effects were underwhelming. The variety of colors and patterns promised on the packaging were simply not delivered. Additionally, the fuse was difficult to light, which was frustrating. Overall, I was disappointed with this firework and would suggest looking for a different option that offers a more thrilling display.
3. Emily - 1 star
I regret purchasing the "2023 witch doctor 200 shot firework" as it turned out to be a complete waste of money. The packaging made it seem like I was buying a high-quality firework with impressive effects, but that was far from the reality. When I ignited the firework, it produced a few random sparks and then fizzled out within seconds. It was utterly unimpressive and left me feeling frustrated and cheated. Save your money and invest in a different firework that will actually meet your expectations.
