How To Make An Easy Halloween Witch

Directions

1. Begin by setting a standard tomato cage on its back so the wide opening faces the ground.
2. Position an empty plastic pumpkin bucket upside down, resting its rim over the three metal legs of the inverted cage.
3. Secure the bucket in place by wrapping twine around its handle and tying it to the cage frame.
4. Drape a full-sized trash bag over the entire structure, allowing the fabric to flow down and form the witch's dress.
5. Gather the trash bag material just below the pumpkin bucket and cinch it tightly with twine to define a waistline.
6. Attach a second pumpkin pail to the very top of the structure using hot glue to serve as the witch's head.
7. For a spooky effect, tuck a set of battery-powered LED lights inside the top bucket so they glow and flicker after dark.
8. Place a classic witch hat on the uppermost pumpkin bucket.
9. Stuff the hat with crumpled recycled grocery bags to give it structure and keep it standing tall.
10. Cut long strips from a spare trash bag, tie a knot in the center of each to form hands, and glue the opposite ends to the sides of the dress.
11. Position a cauldron nearby to complete the scene with a spot for magical potions.
