Instructions:
Cut the poster board into a large triangle shape with the botton edge
being curved. You want this large enough to make into a cone to fit
on top of the paper plate leaving about 1 - 2 inches of the outside
edge of the paper plate showing. Paint one side of the posterboard
and the backside of the paper plate black and let it dry.
Once the paint is dry, cut a large circle in the middle of the paper plate, leave a 1 - 2 inch ridge on the outside. Bend the posterboard, black side out, into a cone shape so the bottom edge fits snuggly into the hole in the paper plate. Make sure the painted side of the paper plate is facing up! Make sure 1/2 - 1 inch of the botom edge of the cone shape is sticking out through the bottom of the hole in the paper plate. Cut small slits every few inches, fold down, and tape them to the underside of the paper plate. You should now have the hat shape.
Now for the finishing touch - add green hair (or use whatever color you want)! Decide what length you want your witch's hair to be... Twelve inches is a nice length to try. Cut several pieces of yarn or crepe paper all the same length. If you are using yarn, you will want 30 at the very least. Tape the end of each "hair" in the inside edge of the cone where it is taped onto the paper plate as shown in the picture below. Tape the yarn side by side cover about 2/3rds of the inside of the hat rim.
Decorate your hat with Halloween stickers or designs. You now have a fancy witch's hat to wear!
