Directions to create the Witch Handprint Craft
Download the template from the end of this post and print it out. Use the template to cut out the pieces from the coloured papers.
Cut the witch’s hat and parts from purple, yellow and black paper. Cut the witch’s face from the green paper.
Take an orange paper and trace your child’s hands. Cut out two handprints. These will become the witch’s hair.
Once all the pieces are ready, start assembling the handprint witch as follows. First, assemble all four hat parts and trim any excess purple paper.
Attach the two handprint pieces to the back of the green face.
Place the hat over the face and glue it in place. Stick the eyes. You can add additional facial details like eyebrows, nose, and mouth.
Here are some tips to get creative! You can make a smile or even a spooky mouth. We even added a tooth for an extra touch. For added flair, curl the witch’s hair with a pencil.
You can also use the same template to make a cute witch card craft. Simply fold your green construction paper in half and trace the face template along the edge so that it opens like a card.
Now you can download the template from the end of this post and get started right away.
You can also pin the step-by-step instructions image to your Pinterest board for later reference
