Made the witch’s hat out of felt
The coat rack from a pipe cleaner and the broom from a twig and some string
I made a quirky cabinet for the witch’s house out of an empty tissue box
Removed the top and cut it down to a height of 18 cm
Then I trimmed the sides down by 3 cm
Made shelves from the cut-off cardboard and glued them inside the box
Then I painted the entire cabinet black, including the back, to prevent warping
I glued all the books and other items firmly in place inside the cabinet
Finished the edges with gray paint to make the shape of the shelves stand out better,
and glued some ivy onto the cabinet
Pruned the garden and used a few suitable branches to make
a ladder for the witch’s house
Cut the twigs to size and attached them with wood glue
Made books for the witch’s house using a quick method
Cut a strip from a magazine or catalog
Coat one side with glue and let it dry thoroughly
I printed my book covers 2 cm wide and cut a 2 cm strip
from the magazine accordingly
Then cut it to the correct length
Glued the book cover on and finished the
little book with Ecoline ink for an aged look
Bought a tiny witch’s house for 25 cents at the thrift store
and turned it into the witch’s cat’s little home
I put a “Zomling” (the witch’s pet) in a birdcage
I still had a white birdcage in my box of odds and ends
Bent one of the cage’s legs—after all, things shouldn’t
look too neat in the witch’s house
Painted it purple and black, and cut the cage open
Glued the Zomling inside, though it took quite a bit of
creative construction to let it dry properly
For the finishing touch, I glued on the ivy I bought at the fair from Art of Mini
I painted a mahogany clock purple and darkened the edges with black
I removed the original clock face and replaced it with one featuring a cat,
then added a little window with a mouse on the clock
Glued a little door with a mouse onto the clock
Made a small clock for the kitchen of the witch’s house
I made a whole collection of signs for the exterior and interior walls
of the witch’s house I glued the clock onto a button
I also made labels for little bottles and two small “Trompe L’Oeil” cabinets,
trick-of-the-eye illusions
If you don’t know how to make these kinds of things to size,
take a look at my blog where I explain it step by step:

From the mushrooms I received earlier this week, I made “magic mushrooms.”
I coated them with glue and sprinkled them with golden glitter
The caps were painted black and also sprinkled with glitter
I filled the caps with air-dry clay and placed the mushrooms into them
