Craft Supplies:

- Black Craft Paint
- Foam Paint Brush
- Black Cardstock Paper
- Green Pom Poms
- Jumbo Popsicle Sticks – 2 per craft
- Markers
- Low-Temp Hot Glue Gun
- Scissors
Directions:
- First things first – making your paper plate look like a witch’s cauldron. Simply cut off a small sliver on one side of the paper plate. You just want it flat on one side and it will look more like a bowl shape.
- Discard the excess paper plate piece you just cut off.
- Next go ahead and paint your paper plate piece completely black.
- Set it aside to let it dry completely.
- Now grab your pieces for the witch legs {the wood craft sticks, markers and cardstock paper.}
- First, use the markers to make a striped design on both wood craft sticks.
- Out of the black cardstock paper, cut out two legs for the bottom of the cauldron and two boots for the witch’s legs.
- Finally – the assembling of your witch cauldron. Hot glue the decorated popsicle sticks to the back of the paper plate, while adding the pom poms to the rim of the cauldron.
- Go ahead and also glue on the cauldron legs and of course, the boots for the witch.
- Follow that up with any other embellishments you see fit to complete your witch cauldron artwork.
- Then display it proudly for all to see!
- Don’t forget to snap a few pictures of your creation, to share with us on Facebook! #gluedtomycrafts
