Ribbon Witch

Instructions:

1. Twist 2 chenille stems together. Cut one of the ribbons 12" long and wrap around the chenille stems.
2. Take 1 of the witch’s arms and fill it with hot glue. Insert one end of the chenille stem into the arm. Repeat for the other arm, attaching it to the opposite end of the chenille stem.
3. Take 4 of the ribbons and measure each 1 ½ the length of the arms—fingertip to fingertip. Center the ribbon between the arms and secure with chenille stem. Bring ribbon down and attach at the wrist with ½ yard of one of the narrow ribbons (there will be about a 2" tail below the hands). Bend arms at center and glue inside doll breastplate.
4. Set aside one yard each of 5 ribbons to use as a shawl for the witch.
5. Gather the rest of the ribbons together and make bow loops of desired lengths. Bring chenille stem around center of ribbon loops and secure with chenille stem.
6. Glue loops to cone and wrap chenille around the top to secure.
7. Glue witch head and arms onto top of the ribbon and cone.
8. Take 4 of 5 ribbons set aside for shawl, center in back of the witch, bring over the shoulders, overlap in the front, and tie around center with the 1 yard of ribbon that is left.
9. Gather the sheer Halloween mystery fabric 4" down from the top. Place it around the witch’s neck and tie it on with 1 yard of ribbon. Arrange fabric to form cape. Trim and round corners if desired.
10. Cut lengths of raffia, secure in center with a strand of raffia. Make 3-4 groups. Glue one bunch across from top of witch’s head. Glue remaining bunches to back of witch’s head. Take ½ yard of ribbon, glue around the hat and make a knot on the side of the hat. Glue hat onto witch’s head.
