How To Make a Witch Hat Filled with Chocolate

• Black cardboard

• Black felt (optional, for a more realistic texture)

• Scissors

• Hot glue gun

• Pencil and ruler

• Round object for tracing (like a plate or a small bowl)

• Chocolates or other candies

• Orange satin ribbon

• Decorative items (e.g., plastic spiders, googly eyes, decorative stones)

Step 1: 
First, you'll need to create the cone shape for the hat.

Use a pencil and ruler to mark a tall triangle shape on the black cardboard. The height of the triangle will be the height of your hat. A 6-inch height is a good starting point, but you can adjust this depending on the size of your chocolates.

Step 2: 
Carefully cut out the triangle using your scissors.

Step 3: 
Roll the cardboard into a cone shape. Secure the seam with hot glue. Make sure the cone is sturdy and well-sealed.

Step 4: 

Next, you'll create the brim of the hat.

Place your cone on another piece of black cardboard and trace the base. This will give you a circle the exact size of the bottom of your cone.

Now, find a larger round object, like a plate. Center the smaller circle you just drew inside the larger one and trace the bigger circle. This will be the outer edge of your brim.

Step 5: 

Cut out the larger circle, and then cut out the smaller circle from the center. You should be left with a doughnut-like ring.

Step 6: 

Now it's time to bring the two pieces together.

Fill the cone with your chocolates and candies.

Step 7: 

Apply hot glue around the bottom edge of the cone.

Carefully place the cone into the center of the brim. Press down firmly to make sure it's secure.

Step 8: 

This is where you can get creative and make the hat your own!

To add a more realistic texture, cut a few 2-inch-wide strips of black felt. Apply a little hot glue to one end and gently pinch it to create a ruffle. Glue these ruffled strips around the base of the hat, just above the brim.

Step 9: 

Use orange satin ribbon to create a band around the hat. Glue one end of the ribbon to the hat and wrap it around. Tie a bow and attach it to the front.

Step 10: 

Add some final details! You can glue a decorative eye in the middle of the bow, or use other Halloween-themed items like spiders or decorative stones.

Step 11: 

Completed Craft!
