Witch’s Spell Hat
by Milissa DeFusco Whimsical Wishes and Delightful Dreams
Once I decided I wanted to repurpose a papier-mâché witch’s hat into a piece of art, the words Circa Halloween Ball popped into my mind. I thought about different textures and textiles I could incorporate into a glamorous yet spooky topper. Items used Papier-mâché hat Scissors Glue gun Glue dots Black stamp pad Black lace

Green and black tulle Black link chain Black netting Ribbon in buttons Feathers Antique cabinet card
To start, I stamped the hat with a black stamp pad, and once it was complete the magic began to progress. I added a touch of feathers, tulle and black netting to the center of the hat. I handmade the rosettes with the tulle and attached a black and white antique button into the center of the rose.

At the tip of the point I attached lace, tulle scraps and a strand of black link chain along with a hair pin purchased at a local consignment store.

To complete the spooky look and add a touch of glam, I secured strips of black lace to the brim. For the final touch, I added an heirloom cabinet card and a bat silhouette to add a bit of fright—yet a delight—to this !
