Want a Halloween wreath that is a little bit different? Try some witch legs! Just the legs and a bit of the skirt are all you need for a whimsical wreath that everyone is sure to enjoy. This post is sponsored by Testors however all projects and opinions are my own. This week I am sharing 15 minute Halloween crafts. If you have missed any of our past ideas, click here to see them all!
Witch Legs Wreath
Want to make a witch wreath? It is super simple with your Cricut machine. You can actually use any Cricut machine for this project except for the Cricut Joy. Unfortunately, the Joy is just too small to make a project this large.
Supplies needed:
- Testors Paint (in black, green, white, and fuchsia)
- Cricut Cutting Machine (Want to see the difference between the machines? I compared the Cricut Maker and Explore here.)
- Kraftboard or Chipboard
- Witch legs file (you can see how to get the file below)
- Purple tulle
- Various ribbons
- Paint brush
- Tacky glue
- Hot glue and glue gun
- Baker’s twine
- Scissors
- Ruler
- Pouncer brush

How to Make a Witch Wreath
I thought this one really deserved a video to show you exactly how to make it. Follow along below!
Can’t watch the video or missed some of the steps? Try the instructions for how to make witch legs below.
Instructions:
- Start by cutting five of the witch legs from some chipboard or even kraftboard.NOTE: Thicker chipboard would require less pieces.
- Use tacky glue between the layers and glue them together into a stack.
- Allow to dry. TIP: Use a heavy object or book to weigh them down while drying.
- Once dry, use Testors paint to paint your legs and shoes as shown below. Be sure to paint your edges for a finished appearance. TIP: This paint comes in metallic and matte sheen. Mix it up to really make your project stand out!
- Add a base layer of black and green, allow to dry, then use a pouncer brush to make polka dots on the legs in contrasting colors.
- Then allow everything to dry completely.
- Cut tulle and ribbon into 8 inch strips.
- Tie each strip in a knot in the center then use hot glue to secure that knot to the band across the top.
- Continue until the top is as full as you would like it.
- Then flip your project over and add some baker’s twine with some hot glue for a hanger.
- Your witch legs are complete and ready to hang on your door or anywhere else in your home.
So will you be making these adorable witch legs for your home this fall? Add that touch of whimsy to any room in just minutes!
