[Tutorial} Tomato Cage Witch’s Hat

Today I get to share with you a fun project I did as part of the Craft Lightning Challenge for The Country Chic Cottage & Moore Craft Time. The point of the challenge is to have a project that you can do in 15 minutes or less. You can check out either of the host sites for a whole list of the participating blogs each day and a feature of the crafts!

Because we are doing all things Halloween at our house already, I thought I’d share with you this fun bigger than life Witch’s Hat made out of a tomato cage.

Now don’t think I’m weird, but I’m going to suggest you go buy a whole bunch of them, in different sizes, right now because they are on sale for the end of the season, and I have some more tutorials using them coming your way after Halloween.

For this project you will need:

Tomato Cage
Black Poster Board
Hot Glue Gun and Glue
Black Tulle (I used a whole 25 yard roll of 6 inch tulle.)
Coordinating Ribbon and Tulle

You will start by wrapping the poster board around the tomato cage, to form a cyllindar, and keep the tips together. Tape it in place. It will not go all the way to the ground in the back…that is ok. You will just face that side to the wall!

Next you will take your coordinating ribbon/tulle and made a bow for the top. Glue this and one end of the black tulle to the tips of the cage.

Take the whole roll of tulle, and wrap it around the poster board, scrunching it a bit to give dimension.

I then bunched a whole lot of orange tulle into a pile on the bookshelf it was going to be displayed on, and set the hat on top. I love the look of it, and how huge it is!

Make sure to check out the other bloggers Lightning Crafts going on this week!
