So gather your fabric, thread, and imagination — and let’s make some Halloween magic together. 💫


✂️ Materials You’ll Need:

* Fabric scraps in autumn or Halloween colors (for the dress and hat)
* Small wooden beads (for faces)
* Yarn, twine, or doll hair (for hairstyles)
* Small twigs or sticks (for broom handles or wands)
* Bits of raffia, straw, or thread (for broom bristles)
* Hot glue gun or craft glue
* Scissors and string
* A touch of creativity and a little Halloween spirit! 🎃

🪄 Step-by-Step: How to Make a Witch Doll

**Step 1: Form the Head and Body**
Start by attaching a small wooden bead to a wrapped bundle of fabric or yarn — this creates your witch’s head and body base. Secure tightly with string.

**Step 2: Add the Dress Layers**
Cut your fabric scraps into triangles or squares and layer them to form a flowing dress. Wrap, gather, and tie at the neck to create fullness and shape.

**Step 3: Create the Hat**
Cut a circle and triangle from matching fabric. Roll the triangle into a cone and glue it to the circle base for that classic witchy hat. Perch it at a playful tilt on her head!

**Step 4: Style the Hair**
Add yarn or doll hair — curly, fluffy, or straight. You can braid, twist, or tease it for personality. Secure it under the hat or around the bead head.

**Step 5: Add Accessories**
Glue on a small twig broom, a miniature wand, or even a tiny felt crow for extra charm. A bit of raffia tied with string makes a perfect broom!

**Step 6: Finishing Touches**
Add a dab of blush or paint tiny eyes if you wish, but many crafters leave the face simple for a magical, minimalist look.

🌙 A Spellbinding Gift or Display

These little witches are delightful as mantel decorations, table accents, or Halloween gifts. Each one tells her own story, and no two will ever be alike — that’s the beauty of handmade magic.

**YOU CAN MAKE IT — and your little witches will be spellbinding!**
