Material list
Great witches for your Halloween decoration are made very quickly: From a skeleton of figure wire and modelling bandages as well as an egg Polystyrene-as a head, these funny flying witches are created with great attention to detail. You can let your creativity run wild and make each witch unique.
Here's how it works

For each witch, cut three equal-length pieces of figure wire. Glue two of the pieces (arms and legs) in the middle across the ends of the third (body) and wrap them around once. Leave a few centimetres free at the top to anchor the wire in the head.
Paint a Polystyrene-egg skin-coloured. After drying, melt the figure wire body with the metal tip of the hot glue gun directly into the egg and fix it at the same time. The egg can be used both vertically and horizontally, depending on which head you want to use. Then bend the body (figure wire) into the desired shape.

For working with modelling bandages cover your working surface with plastic foil. Cut the bandages into small pieces, dip them into water and lay them piece by piece around the figure wire (modelling). Leave the body to dry thoroughly on the plastic foil.

For the dress , cut the panne velvet into shreds and glue it to the body with hot glue. Glue the wig on the head, design the face with Wobbly eyes and a black and red Fineliners

For the hat cut a circle out of black Felt , glue a Chenille wire turned to a spiral on it and fix the hat on the witch's head.

For the scenery, cut big cardboard boxes to fit, glue them together and paint them. For lighting, put several fairy lights into the houses from behind.

Happy Halloween!
