How to Make a Paper Towel Roll Witch with a Styrofoam ball for Halloween!

Be sure to watch my step-by-step video in this post to see how I assembled the witch, particularly, how to make a witch hat (in the easiest way possible!). You can also find the video on my TikTok! Start the hat by tracing a circle on the foam using a round plate. On the second black foam sheet, free-hand a half-circle. This half-circle doesn’t have to be perfect, it just needs to be tall as opposed to short/thin.

In order to make the hat sit on the round styrofoam ball, I cut the bottom of the hat, as seen in the video. Finish the adorable Paper Towel Roll Witch by tying a large bow around her neck! Because the styrofoam ball is hot glued in place, it prevents the ball from rolling off. However, you aren’t wasting any paper towels because you just need a little bit of glue around the cardboard paper towel roll.

You can make several of these witches and place them around your house for the whole month of October. Or, make them part of a Halloween centerpiece! Consider changing up the ribbon colors or hat colors to give each witch her own personality. They are PERFECT for Halloween parties and everyone will be shocked at how you made them. You definitely wouldn’t guess that there’s a roll of paper towels under the cute witch!

Instructions

  • Secure the cone shape with hot glue.
  • Glue the cone to the foam circle to create a witch hat.
  • Embellish the small witch hat with a ribbon.
  • Cut lines underneath the hat to allow it to sit on the styrofoam ball better, as seen in the video.
