Today’s Mixed Media Scarecrow Witch craft idea is actually a play on our popular scarecrow version from last year. After much brainstorming, I decided to give the original tutorial a little “bewitching” craft spin and I hope you like the NEW Halloween themed idea, as much as I do!
You won’t believe how simple it is to create this SCARECROW WITCH themed craft!
Children can cut the witch’s clothes {like shirts, skirts etc} out of various colored scrapbook paper, fabric scrapes or even craft felt. Then have them decorate their paper piece with glitter glue, ribbon and various markers for a one-of-a-kind look! No two pieces will be alike and that’s what makes it even more fun for kids!
So what are you waiting for?! Don’t delay – find the #notsoscary full tutorial below and let’s the kids imagination go WILD. Don’t forget to join them in the paper making fun! Happy crafting, my friends!!!
