HALLOWEEN NOISEMAKER:
Supplies;
(1) 90mm orange pumpkin bell;
(12" length) 1/4" diameter wooden dowel;
(1 yd.) black Paper Capers twisted paper (must be Paper Capers brand as it
is wide enough to make the hat;)

(3 to 5 yds. each) orange, black and yellow curling ribbon; electric drill
with 1/4" drill bit;
(4" length) black cloth covered wire; tacky craft glue; hot glue gun and
a pkg. of Wavy Wool.

If you want grey hair for your witch, add a little
black shoe polish to water and dip what you need. Squeeze out excess water
with a paper towel and dry. Drill hole in the bottom of the bell and hot
glue the dowel into the hole.

Now design your pattern for hat. Cut a 6-1/2" hat brim and hat crown that
has a straight line that is 7" and the left line on a slant that is 7" and
connect the top and bottom line together on a curve angle like ) inside
width of bottom of crown should be 8-1/4" & cut from black Paper Capers.
Cut 1/2" strips from the remaining and wrap and glue to the dowel to cover.
Glue the Wavy Wool to the top of the bell for hair. Put the lengths
of curly ribbon together and make a multi-loop, multicolor bow with extra
long streamers (as it will be curled).

Hot glue to the dowel under the bell.
Spread glue on bottom of hat crown & shape into a cone.
Slip the hat brim over the crown and glue in place. Cut a 3/4" wide length
of orange paper twist 6" long.Glue in place for a hat band where the brim and crown come together. Do not
cut ends, just crisscross and glue, leaving ends hanging.
