Let’s Make a Flying Witch!

Step 1: Paint a Paper Plate Black

To begin, paint the paper plate black or a dark blue.

If your Arty Crafty Kids are feeling particularly creative, they could paint the plate a blend of twilight colors (red, purple, blue hues).

Step 2: Decorate the Paper Plate with Stars

Use an acrylic pen or paint dots to draw white and yellow stars onto the paper plate.

Step 3: Fold the Paper Plate in Half

Fold the paper plate in half, pressing down firmly along the newly formed crease.

Step 4: Cut the out the Witch Elements from the Template

The witch elements can be colored in and decorated with crayons/paint OR cut out and traced onto colored card stock (as demonstrated in this tutorial).

Carefully cut out the witch elements.

Step 5: Assemble the Witch

To begin, add stripes to the witch’s body ( the large triangle) by cutting strips of contrasting colored paper and affixing them to the body with glue.

Step 6: Add a Zig-Zag Fold to the Witch’s Leg

To create texture, fold the witch’s leg to form a zig-zag shape and secure the boot element to the bottom of the folded strip.

Step 7: Affix the Witch’s Leg and Boot to the Body Element

Glue the leg to the witch’s body.

Step 8: Assemble and Decorate the Witch’s Head

Add a strip of contrasting colored paper to the witch’s hat.

Decorate the hair with swirls.

Once the hat and hair are decorated, affix both to the witch’s head (the circle shape).

Complete the head with an eye and a little hand drawn smile.

Step 9: Cut Lines into the Brush Element

To create a bristled impression, cut a series of short lines into the brush element.

Step 10: Affix the Broom Stick to the Paper Plate

Affix the broom stick along the crease of the paper plate.

Step 11: Affix the Brush to the Broom Stick

Step 12: Affix the Witch to her Broom Stick to Complete the Craft

To complete the craft, glue the witch to her broom stick and affix the arm element.

Now it’s playtime. Tap the paper plate to make her fly!
