Just went to a party as a basic witch. Flannel, active wear, messy bun and coffee cup (attached to my broom) in tow. Honestly one of the most comfortable costumes I have worn. Might just be my all season long costume.
I have so many worn-out plaid flannel shirts that I might take your basic witch idea and make Rebecca's hat out them. I'd need more stiff interfacing, though.
@@cherylrosbak4092 ooh I wish I had the energy for that this year. Unfortunately the fates have it in for me apparently. But some plaid ribbon added to my witch hat may be doable.
I took a kid's witch hat from the dollar store, painted over the silver spider webs, and glued on some lace, leaves, and yarn for my senior pictures that I'm taking today. Might also have to wear it to a craft fair that I have next weekend
Your hat is beautiful. I have this morning received deep blue felt in the post to make a moons and stars witches hat though not as big. Your tutorial very timely. Thank you so much.
I used a black dollar store straw style sunhat for a brim and a cardboard cone. I covered the cone with black cloth cut folded and sewn into a cone. I used a tagging gun with quarter inch barbs to staple the cone onto the hat. Then I stapled, Walmart black glittery roses and leaves to it.
Also… I LOVE your curls! Have you ever tried the curly girl way of doing your hair? You always look so put together and great with victory rolls and other styles that you wear but I sometimes spy your curls and they’re so wonderful! ❤😁
You totally should make one! And thank you! I've never tried the actual curly girl method, but I've been trying to be kinder to my hair and do less straightening lately, so there's definitely been a lot more curls. And any reason to twirl in a dress like that is a good one! 😉
@@LadyRebeccaFashions We actually went to Joannes yesterday and I bought fabric to make my hat and my 18-year-old bought fabric to make a mushroom hat! I will definitely tag you in IG when it’s done!
In 2019 I got a bunch of black wool felt and autumnal fat quarters and some felt leaf confetti and made witches hats with flowers for me and my kids to wear together. It was pretty cute and they enjoyed being a coven with me. This was also the year that we made giant spiders to decorate our balcony out of black pipe cleaners, googly eyes, styrofoam balls, and black paint with sparkles in it. One of the cats got a hold of the pipe cleaners and we're still finding them in the oddest places. He likes to carry them around in his mouth and it looks like a curly evil mustache!
It would be pretty easy to give the brim a little more stability just by sewing a few graded circles around it, like a bucket hat has. The wire and the felt already give it some stability and that would be enough to keep the two layers from flopping as much. And this is way more attainable than my past two witch hats. The first was a half-baked felt construction with fabric stiffener and just was not a great thing. The second is fabulous if I do say so but it took 8 months of regular sewing sessions to make because I got the fool idea to make a straw hat from unraveled Halloween placemats with a side brim and a curly end. So starting from the tip I hand-sewed over two circular placemats' worth of 3/8" straw because a sewing machine couldn't access the necessary spot and wouldn't give the control I needed, and because I am a slave to a challenge once I get the "I wonder if I could...?" moment. Of course it fits because I could just keep testing it on my head, row by painstaking row, but was it worth all that sewing? Let's just say it's one of a kind, and I will be getting all the use I can out of it.
Aaaah, too stinking cute and perfect for handing out candy! You could make some cute stuffed pumpkins with the rest of the felt; they don't have to be orange. Have a great weekend, xoxo's Sandie🤗🎃
Oh wow! I want one. I’ve been wanting to make a witch hat but was leery about buckram and all that. But I’ve used felt and wire a lot (old theatre kid). I’ll see what my Joann’s has.
Such a lovely hat! Weirdly I was thinking I needed to get my daughter’s costume finished soon - the dress is made (Stevie Nicks Belladonna era inspired look, made for a rock star day at school) but we need to make it into a white witch and I needed guidance on hat making. Then this video pops up in my recommended videos! First time I’ve seen one of your videos and and very pleased to be here. Thank you! This is perfect, and yours is wondrous!

I love that idea!
I’ve done that as the tooth fairy! PJs & Dollar store wings and I handed out tooth brushes. Lol

@@cherylrosbak4092 oh that sounds so fun!

Can you post a pic of your hat?

This is cute! And what your smelling is wet sheep! For me its nostalgic but more in a, I forgot how that smells, kind of way.😂
Thank you! I think it might have been a blend of wet sheep and something else, since it was a wool/rayon blend.
I want to make one now!
Also… I LOVE your curls! Have you ever tried the curly girl way of doing your hair? You always look so put together and great with victory rolls and other styles that you wear but I sometimes spy your curls and they’re so wonderful! ❤😁
I feel like you made the hat just so that you would have another excuse to go swirl in your gunnysacks dress! I love it so much! 😂

That hat is Fantastic! It has just the right amount of quirkiness!

Thanks, it's like you read my mind! Next week's video is a pumpkin pincushion tutorial, and I used this felt for the leaf!
@@LadyRebeccaFashions Sweet!
So cute!!!
You looked like a very cute Autumn witch! 😍
Oh wow! I want one. I’ve been wanting to make a witch hat but was leery about buckram and all that. But I’ve used felt and wire a lot (old theatre kid). I’ll see what my Joann’s has.
Yeah, buckram adds a whole other layer of difficulty to a hat. This one was so easy after last week's bonnet!
Super cute, especially with the dress!
I need it! In like four different coulors and different decorations! Absolutely loved this video! So useful!! ❤❤❤
Oooo, yes ! All the seasons !
Thank you! You should make a collection of them!
Wow I love it you really looked great I love the dress and hat they really go together x

Perfect accessory!!
Such a cute hat - it worked out really well.
What a delightful hat to complete the Autumn witch. I love your modeling & perfect music 🎵🎶 to go with it! 🎃
Thank you!
Super cute autumn 🎃👻 witchyness 🧙🧹🧡
Thanks!
So fun!!!
Love this look it will be perfect for handing out candy.
Love it! I want to make this to wear when I handout candy on Halloween. I really love you videos!!
Thanks! If you do make it, please share a pic!
Cute!
Love your spooky season enthusiasm!
You look adorable! Happy Spooky Season
You always make such delightful things. 😊
Thank you!
That hat is adorable!
Where do you get your millinery wire and your buckram (sp?)? You have convinced me that I want to try my hand at hat making.
I think I got both of mine from corsetmaking.com, though I know I've also gotten millinery wire from Richard the Thread in the past.
SUPER CUTE!!! Watching you see the wire was scary. Beautiful job!
What a fun and easy witch hat!! Love it!!
Thanks!
I started a hat yesterday and it is a hot mess. I think I will take it apart and follow your directions. Very cute!!
That turned out nicely. :) Hats like that remind me of scarecrows, and from what I've seen, scarecrows tend to wear hats.
That hat is really cute!
Another fabulous Halloween hat!
Edit: I ended up smiling the whole time!
Aww, thanks! ☺️
Super cute, love it! 🥰
Super cute!!
I’m loling about…..”smells like a bad kid’s art class” 😂
Haha, right? But that's such a memorable and distinct smell!
pumpkin patch = corn maze
👍🏼🧙
"That's REALLY big!"...ouch! My head is 25 1/2 inches lol.
I have a big head too, generally, so I was quite surprised!
Do you realize that a witch's hat is called the cone of power and yes there are really witches I used to be one. Just to let you know
