Homemade Witch Hat
Essentials needed
To make your homemade witch hat, you will need black paper, glue, a bit of purple ribbon and some Halloween stickers.

Wearing suggestions
Your hat adds a magical touch to any witch costume. Just remember to make sure it fits properly on your head. You don’t want it too big that it keeps falling off while trick-or-treating!
DIY Vampire Fangs
Materials for the fangs
Making vampire fangs is fun. All you need is white clay, some toothpicks for shaping and a small bag to keep them safe.

Safety precautions while wearing
Remember, even though the fangs look cool, they’re not real teeth. They can break if you try to bite something hard. Also, make sure you always keep them in your bag when you’re not using them so you won’t lose them.
