One of the most popular costumes for Halloween and other holidays with elements of a masquerade is still a witch costume. Evil and kind, mysterious, wayward, capricious and unpredictable, these powerful sorceresses have been exciting the imagination of people for many centuries. And, of course, an indispensable attribute of a real witch is her headdress.

So, prepare materials

The witch's hat is pretty easy to make. From the materials you will need cardboard for a pattern, a pencil, scissors, ordinary wire (it is better to take a couple of millimeters in diameter), wire cutters to work with it, fabric with which the future hat will be covered (black felt is best), starch, ribbon for decorating the crown, solder with a soldering iron, a buckle or a bouquet for decoration.

Getting Started

How to make a witch hat? Start by determining the desired length of wire. First, we measure the head. With such a volume, we cut off the wire and make a small circle with which we fasten the fields and crown. Nowwe draw the same circle on cardboard, add the width necessary for the fields to its radius and draw a second, already large, circle. We measure its length and cut the wire into a large circle. The wire is needed for support, cardboard for the hat itself (it will be necessary to cover it with a cloth). Next, the witch's hat is done like this: we determine the height and calculate the cone, then we set aside the calculated height of the crown from the corner of the cardboard, draw an arc. The cone is ready. Cut out the pattern, take the wire circles and solder them.

Tulia

The witch hat pattern is ready. We transfer it to the prepared fabric, leaving, of course, allowances. For the fields we cut out 2 parts, for the tulle - one. We sew the last one along the sections so that we get a cap. Now we bend its lower edge, put a small wire circle into its fold, hem it with a tulle from the inside. Try to do everything carefully so that the product looks more elegant. The next stage is to starch the crown, all but the tip (the tip may hang down). If you want the whole witch's hat to be stiff, then leave the tip.

Fields

We put the cut out fields together so that the front side is inside, and sew them along the outer circle (you can also sew by hand, but it takes longer), then turn it inside out and gently iron it. Now we take a large circle of cardboard and put it in the fabric. The resulting hem on a small cut must be unscrewed so that they can be sewn into an already finished tulle. We sew everything together, before this glue or paste, having missed the hem of the fields and crowns. By the way, the brim of the headdress can be made not hard, with cardboard, but soft (in some drawings, witches have such hats).

Shutting down

Our witch hat is almost ready, it remains only to decorate it. To do this, we sew a prepared ribbon on the crown near the very fields (the ideal option is black satin), and we attach a bright buckle to it. An alternative option is to take a bouquet of twigs and small pumpkins instead of a buckle. Pieces of black tulle can be attached to the edges of the fields, some black shiny beads can be sewn on. Now that we figured out how to make a witch hat and sewed it, you can safely go to the holiday.
