This paper witch craft is perfect for Halloween fun. Kids can cut, fold, and glue colorful papers to assemble a whimsical witch doll. Add facial features and optional details to personalize your creation.

Directions

Choose different colored craft papers (black, purple, mint, orange, grey). Trace the template patterns on your selected papers, then carefully cut out the traced shapes.

Cut a slit along the zigzag line inside the hair pattern piece.

Insert the head part of the body base through the hair slit from the bottom. Keep the upper portion of the slit at the front and the lower portion under the head. Apply glue to secure the hair to the head.

Attach the strips of the top and hat patterns to complete those pieces.

Take the rectangle cut-out and glue the long strip along one side of the rectangle.

Create small, even accordion folds with the rectangle paper.

Attach the top pattern to the body part of the body base.

Glue the hat onto the top of the hair pattern.

Use a black marker to draw the witch's eyes, nose, and mouth. Then bring both sides of the accordion-folded paper's width to match the body base width. Attach the shorter side of the folded paper to the bottom of the body base.

Add any extra details you like to your paper witch doll.
