A little hocus-pocus and craftiness will conjure up this adorable Paper Plate Witch House craft idea and it only takes a few minutes! We have the full how-to for you today and I hope you are inspired to recreate it with your child as well!
Witch House Craft Made From A Paper Plate
Kick off your spook-tacular celebrations with our Halloween kids craft tutorial today! Our latest craft from Glued To My Crafts is WICKEDLY EASY and inexpensive too! All you need is some small paper plates, a few foam witch hat cutouts from Michaels and a little creativity when it comes to the embellishments!
On that note, I always strive to keep it simple and versatile when it comes to our craft tutorials. If by chance you can’t grab the same craft foam witch hats I used, no worries because you can substitute it out and hand-cut your own from cardstock paper. I just hope my design and pictures inspire you to run with the idea & make it work with what you have already on hand!
With complete customization at your fingertips, I don’t want to bore you with any more details from me. You can find the full how-to and a few tips on getting started below. And oh – the ghost stickers were from Dollar Tree!
Happy crafting and please don’t forget to share pictures of your “scary-good” paper plate witch houses you “brew up!” It seriously makes my day to see those pictures {and keeps me going on sharing the creativity with my lovely readers!} You can always find us on Facebook or use our special branded blog hashtag #gluedtomycrafts for us to see!
PAIR YOUR WITCH CRAFT WITH —> Paper Plate Witch Legs
Witch House Supplies:
- Small Paper Plates {one plate per witch house craft}
- Paper Craft Scissors
- Craft Paint {purple and lime green are perfect!}
- Foam Paint Brush
- Craft Foam Witch Hats {I found mine at Michaels recently}
- Various Colors of Cardstock {I used white, black, purple, green}
- Markers, Crayons or Colored Pencils
- School Glue or Glue Stick
- Hand-Held Stapler
- optional materials – Halloween themed stickers, glitter glue, rhinestones etc.
Directions:
- First things first – cut off a small section of your paper plate to make the bottom of the witch house be flat.
- Discard the small piece you just cut off.
- Now paint the remaining paper plate piece however you want.
- When done painting, go ahead and set it aside a bit to allow it to dry.
- Next grab all your colored cardstock and scissors.
- Cut out a small chimney, door, windows etc – anything you think your witch might like on her house.
- Decorate those pieces with markers, crayons, stickers etc.
- Now it’s time to start assembling your paper plate witch house.
- Go ahead and glue/staple all your paper embellishments in place on the paper plate. The biggest piece and where I suggest you start is stapling the craft foam hat to the “roof” of the painted paper plate.
- Now add anything else you like for that custom look {like some Halloween themed stickers or glitter!} before displaying proudly!
