Today I have a fun little project using a paper mache' witch hat. I was cropping with some friends last weekend, and one of my friends was working on her little witch hat. It inspired me to get mine out too! I had two, a larger one that I had made into a wreath last year and this smaller one that I'm going to share with you today.
I started by doing a simple color wash - I didn't even prime this first as I wanted the kraft color of the paper mache' to come through. I got out my gelatos, and on a pallet I colored blue, purple and black and mixed it with water. Than with a foam brush, I applied it to my witch hat.
Once this was dry, using Ranger Embossing Ink and the Bat Motel stamp, I stamped it onto the cone of my hat, heat embossing it with Fine Black embossing powder by Ranger.
I finished it up by applying my trims, ribbon and paper roses. I diecut a length of fence using our On the Fene die, scored it on my ScorePal to allow me to accorrdian pleat it into half of a pin wheel, which I used as a backdrop for my ribbon and flowers
Here's a closeup of the hat pin topper I made -
