  • Paper Plate
  • Paint

  • Witch House Template

Instructions

  • Download the template, print it, and cut out the pieces you need.
  • Start by painting the paper plate for the haunted house base. Alternatively, you can use a party plate and skip this step.
  • Once dry, trace the house outline on the plate and cut it out.
  • Position the paper plate with the cut side down and glue the larger door in the center, then layer the smaller door on top.
  • Add the windows with silhouettes on each side of the door and glue in place.
  • Cut a couple of small slits at the top of the plate to help it flatten.
  • Glue the roof on top of the paper plate, then attach the chimney on the side.
  • Optionally, cut small pieces into the bottom of the witch’s hair piece to give it dimension.
  • Glue the hair on the left side of the witch's face.
  • Place the hat on her head and glue it down.
  • Glue the dress to the back and bottom of the head.
  • Now grab the leg and glue it to the back and middle of the dress.
  • Position the hand behind the dress sleeve and glue in place.
  • Cut snips into the broom piece then glue it to the broomstick to finish the broom.
  • Finish up the witch by gluing the broomstick to the back of the witch, so it looks like she's riding it.
  • Finally, paste the witch onto the roof of the paper plate.
