Free Quilled Orange and Black Witches Hat and Broom


If the Broom Fits Ride It free printable project


I promised I would post the instructions for the 

Quilled Witches Hat and Broom 

I made in this fun project (please click here for the printable) where you can grab the funny quote I used in this project!


Ok, now onto the quilling!
Free Quilled Orange and Black Witches Hat Instructions

The hat begins very similarly to another witches hat I shared, check out the picture and link below!

Quilled Witches Hat:

  • 3 strips of black quilling paper - Rolled to create a teardrop shape
  • Tip: I wanted the hat to be denser, that is why I used so many strips
  • Tip: You can certainly use fewer strips if you'd like, that's the fun of making it yourself!

I wanted to incorporate orange, because I do love the way black and orange look, so I grabbed a few leftover orange strips from another project and, this is what I did:
  • Pulled off a piece and wrapped it around the teardrop
  • This was the fun part, I used these orange strips to create a more cone-like hat
  • They worked perfectly to keep that slightly off center, angled hat that I wanted to create
  • Tip: You can use accent colors and strips to create special shapes in your quilling as I've done here

Lastly,

  • 1 strip of black quilling paper to create a crescent shape for the brim of the hat
  • Glue this to the base of your hat
and there you have one quilled witches hat!
Free Quilled Witches Broom Instructions

The Broom was even easier! 

  • Cut off a 3/4 inch wide, by 3 inches long strip from a brown paper bag
  • Cut fringes into the strip along the 3 inch long side, making sure not to cut through the entire 3/4 inches
  • Roll it to create the bristles of the broom.  
  • The broom handle is a leftover piece of black paper
  • I added the black to the top because I love the contrast
  • Tip: Adding the black cover at the top is more than a decorative choice, it is also a great way to keep the broom together

Freebie If the Broom Fits Printable

If the broom fits ride it - freebie printable

It is a beautiful fall day today, a bit brisk, but comfortable with a jacket!  Last night we went to my son's "Trunk or Treat" at his school.  What is a Trunk or Treat? It is a wonderfully fun, safe way for the kids to enjoy trick or treating. Some very fun parents decorate their cars and hand out candy to the kids in the parking lot of the school.  They have a DJ and dancing, and snacks and drinks.

So, with the spirit of the season I am happy to share this fun printable with you.  I created a few versions of this quote for you, you can download the pdf file below.  I printed mine on a sheet of orange card stock, I thought it would be nice to see the black against the orange.  I then quilled myself a witches hat and fringed a broom to add to the project. I also took some of my leftovers from my various Halloween projects and added a spider web and the spider who made it, lol... I picked this quote because I thought it would be funny, and I was feeling a little cheeky at the time, so  "If the Broom fits ride it"....

This was inspired by a Halloween Wall Hanging project by Sandee from In the Hills of North Carolina

I loved her use of the witches hat and broom. She experimented with paints and I used my quilling to create a project that I hope you have as much fun with as me!

Free Quilled Witches Hat Pattern Instructions
Free Quilled Witches Hat Pattern


I am having lots of fun with my Halloween crafting this year, I think I may actually be avoiding the Christmas ornaments I have to make, but I'd rather continue to delude myself into thinking I have time, lol.  I had a lot of fun when I first created this Witches Hat, and now that I look at it again I see so many opportunities.  You can incorporate this onto any Halloween project you have, all you have to do is adjust the length and width of the papers you use.... Stay tuned, I may have another project to post based on this simple design!

Here are the quick and easy steps for my Free Quilled Witches Hat Tutorial

Lovely Tall Black Hat

  • 1 - 24 in (60.8 cm) Black Shaped Teardrop
  • 1 - 12 inch (30.4 cm) Black Shaped Teardrop
  • 4 - 1.5 inch (3.8 cm) Purple Spirals (arrange in flower shape and attach to hat)


Simply Divine Green Hair

  • 8 Green (6 inch, 15.2 cm) Spiral, 
  •  Cut your green paper to 1/16 inch, .15 cm wide before starting your spiral


Arrange as shown in picture.

What have you been working on? Do you have a favorite Halloween icon? Is it the cute ghost, or crawly spiders, or the silly witches? I'd love to hear what you love to do...

I hope you have a wonderful day!
