Witch silhouette

Every Halloween we pick a theme for our house. Last year my kids and I pick zombie. There are DIY projects on my blog if you are interested in them for your home this year. We love Halloween but I don't like or have a lot of money to spend on decoration. So most of the time I make them. 

This one is no exception but I got this ideal from of course Pinterest witch silhouette pattern.  

This was the image I found an took inspiration from.

 

To get stared you will need one or more Black poster board, I got mine from the dollar store( .69 ) but they also have them at any craft store as well and they are about a dollar. 

Next White color pencil to drawl your image.

 Scissors to cut the image

Tape and tissue paper (optional)

 

You can draw the grid or if your good or ok like me you can free hand it. I chose to draw the face and hat differently then the image because it was easier for me, you can basically chose any kind of shadow shape. I mostly you the image to get an idea of what I wanted to do. After drawling the Image and you're happy with it, you cut it out. Unfortunately I forgot to take a picture of this but make sure you cut carefully and save the scrap pieces you do not use you can use these pieces to make the cauldron and bat. Now it's time to assemble it on your window but if you like me you go a little further. I chose to cut eyes out from the bat and tape red tissue paper to it I also decided to add fire to my cauldron so I use red yellow and orange tissue paper you can cut them in long triangle shapes to make your fire and place the colors sporadically on the other side of the cauldron (the part that faces inward).

If you are satisfied with the way it looks after adding tissue paper simply tape it onto your window and I added lights to give a shadow at nighttime.

This is the image from the inside during the day. I don't particularly care how it looks because I have blinds and curtains so I don't see it as much. But if you don't you could be neater and make it look nice I'm lazy. The lights are from last year at target 50 count candy corn lights. You could use whatever you have on hand I would've liked to have that tinier lights but I couldn't find any so I stuck with what I had.

This is the night time image when it's all light up. I'm extremely happy with the way it came out I am thinking of adding another which on the other side at a later time.

I also forgot to mention if you do not have fairy lights you can also just put a lamp in front of the window if you don't already have one in front of the window. 

I hope you give this a try this was really fun to make surprisingly as always 

HAPPY HUNTING🎃
