Yvonne Byatt's Family Fun: WITCH HALLOWEEN PARTY

I have been asked by a friend for ideas for a cutesy witch party for halloween.

I knew I wanted nice bright girlie colours but very little time

so I had a look around for some printable ideas.

And they were too good not to share, with you.

There are alot of creative people out there, just look at the pictures below.

INVITATIONS

These witches hat invites are easy, just print, fold and send out.

COSTUMES

Easy NO SEW witch costume...

A piece of 1"-1.5" wide black elastic, tied to desired waist measurements

A roll of tulle / net 25m long and 25cm wide (so you only need to cut the length stripes, easy peasy!!!) in black, pink,and purple (any two colours you like plus black)

Measure child from waist to just above the knee, then double this = length off netting.

Cut the net into lots strips to above mention length.

So now you should have long strips of netting 4" wide.

Pick up one strip fold in half length wise

Place loop under black elastic

Thread netting ends over the black elastic and through the loop of netting at the top

and pull all the way through.

Repeat this with all netting alternating colours until black elastic is barely visible.

You can always stagger the lengths of different coloured netting

and cut them to a point as this is more pleasing to the eye.

Were with a brightly coloured t-shirt or maybe a plain black or white one and bright stripey legging or tights.

And to finish it of make a cute witches hat fascinator using a pattern from here.

or
make a paper/card witch hat from here.
If you want a small hat just reduce the size and add elastic under the brim so it stay's on.

BANNER / BUNTING

How cute is this from Nap Time Journal?

Just sooooo cute!

DECORATIONS

Lots of the spiders from the bunting hung with black ric rak braiding.

From Nap Time Journal

Broomsticks (Paint the handles bright green and add a purple bow at base of handle) standing against the wall by doorways.

Witches hats (put a bright coloured bow around the brim) on coat hooks and on shelves.

CUPCAKES

GAMES
Of course you have to have bobbin apples. Make sure you have loads of towels handy!

Witch hat ring toss: stuff three witch hats full of paper and toss embroidery hoops.

I always find a treasure trail is popular:
print off a witches hat clip art, number them and add words associated with Halloween
purple pointy hat
