Please put Rep # 1338 in the rep box.

Directions

Fill the medium cellophane bag with 1 1/2 cups of candy corn. Tie a 3” piece of natural twine around the neck of the bag to close it.

Using your compact disc, trace the outside and inner circle of the cd with your pencil on the black cardstock. Cut out both circles with your scissors.

Use a compass to create the top of the witch’s hat. Place the point of the compass at the corner of the black cardstock. Draw a quarter of a circle with a radius of 5 inches. Cut along the line.

Twist cardstock into a cone shape. Use double-sided tape to adhere the sides together.

Use a hole punch to punch two holes, directly opposite of each other, on each side of the inner circle of the brim. Punch two holes on opposing sides of the bottom of the cone that match up with the brim holes.

Starting at the bottom, pull the remaining twine through the holes of the brim. Then pull the twine through the holes in the cone from the inside to the outside. Wrap the twine as many times as you can around the hat and tie a bow to secure the ends.

Place the hat on top of the cello bag, making sure the excess cellophane goes through the hole in the brim of the hat.

Cut out two black 1/2” squares from your remaining cardstock and adhere with double-sided tape to the “face” of the witch!
