How to Display and Enjoy Your Finished Witchy Whimsy Hat
Once you’ve completed the creative part, it’s time to put your finished Halloween craft on display! We love the idea of putting it on an entry table, mantel, or at the center of any spooky celebration, but it can become a bewitchingly fun focal point anywhere you choose.
Here are a few of our favorite spellbinding ways to display it:
- Create a custom banner using the same colors found in the Witchy Whimsy Hat. The coordinated palette makes it easy to add matching elements so the entire display looks cohesive. Basic Beige, Basic Black, Blackberry Bliss, Peaceful Pine, Pecan Pie, and Pumpkin Pie will all highlight different elements from your witchy Halloween craft kit! Together, they put a unique spin on those classic Halloween colors.
- Surround your finished witch hat with candles at the table. What’s more eerie than a candlelit dinner around a spooky display? We love the idea of some brass candlesticks holding (unlit) black tapers, while battery-operated tea lights shimmer from below. This setup provides a full 360-degree view of your creation, so every bit of texture, dimension, and detail of your witchy Halloween craft can be admired from every angle.
- Use it atop your witch’s cauldron on the porch. A cauldron is the perfect place to keep your stash for trick-or-treaters. Your witch hat can do double duty, protecting the candy between knocks and serving as beautiful decor on full display for the neighborhood to enjoy!
- Put it on a pedestal. Give your 14-inch Witchy Whimsy Hat a place of honor on a stool, then complete the vignette with a collection of your favorite pumpkins below. Bonus points if you find pumpkins that match the color palette mentioned above!
