Here at Ruffles and Rain Boots, we love to decorate and dress up for Halloween. Now that the kiddo is older, she can help with her costume and making decorations for the house. We love to make our home a bit spooky but family-friendly too.

If you have about 30 minutes to spare, you can make a trio of these cute little hats. And that includes the time it takes for the paint to dry! What a great way to spend a small part of your day making something so cute it is bound to bring smiles to anyone who sees them.

Why These Witch’s Hats Make A Great Craft

They are cheap and quick…two words we like when it comes to making a craft. You can make three witch hats for less than $3 and no more than 30 minutes.

Grab the kids! They can help you make these little hats. Depending on the age of your kiddo, they can paint and glue and possibly cut the bottom of the cone. This does take some strength, so an adult may need to intervene at this step.

They are so stinking cute! The jeweled spider rings add just the right touch of the creepy and kooky factor without going over the top.

Tips for Making Halloween Witch Hats

• Because these mini cones are brightly colored and have inspirational wording on them, you will most likely want to paint two coats of black multi-surface craft paint. You could also use a primer if you like, but we don’t feel it is necessary.
• If you cannot find multi-surface craft paint, you can also use black spray paint in a well-ventilated area. We suggest spray painting outdoors if the weather permits.
• We love the burlap trim on these mini cone witch for Halloween. If you prefer, any 5/8″ ribbon or trim will work just fine.
• If you can’t find them at your local Dollar Tree, I found jeweled plastic spider rings online. There are so many, you can use them for cupcakes, a surprise in a Halloween bath bomb, or wear them just because they are cool!

Each step for this craft is shown below to make it easier. Keep this page open while you create your mini cone witch hat DIY. If you would rather have a printable how-to, scroll down and select the print button.

Place a 3.5” circle template over the plastic cone and trace the circle with a permanent black marker. Carefully trim the excess plastic away from the base of the cone with a pair of scissors.   

Paint the plastic cones with black multi-surface acrylic craft paint. Let dry.

 Measure and cut 8” lengths of burlap trim. Attach around the base of the cone using a glue gun. Trim any excess with scissors.

Cut the plastic circle (the part that fits on your finger) from the back of three jeweled spider rings.

Paint the legs and body of the spiders with light grey acrylic craft paint. Measure and cut 4” lengths of ribbon, fold them in half and attach them to the back of the spiders with a hot glue gun. Cut notches into the ends of the ribbons.

Attach the decorative spider jewel and ribbon to the hat band of the witch’s hats with a glue gun.

Notes for Making Mini Witch Hats

• The plastic these cones are made from is pretty sturdy. It may take a little muscle when you are cutting the circles out with the template.
• Can’t find the mini cones locally? Here are 4 inch plastic cones online.
