Thread: how to make a witch

Tweet

Im going to make a hanging witch that is hung between two trees but i dont know where to start on the witch? How can i make the body,legs,arms, ect? Im going to give this prop the most dedacation of all. The only problem is i dont have alot of money. All suggestions will help!!!!!

I'd make a frame out of pvc pipe and then build out the body around that frame. Draw out how you want the witch "posed" and then build the frame from that drawing, use your own arms and legs for lengths if you want to. You can use those pool floats called "noodles" to build out the arms and legs over the pvc. Then dress your witch and hang it out...

Good Luck!

Since I am in the process myself I would first suggest you do some research...I would suggest stolloween, lauriebeast, terra, pumpkinrot, spookyblue, born2haunt.com....the list goes on and on, and on....
then look for the cheapest materials that are also lightweight...like branches for the arms, legs, hands and fiingers. Paper mache is always the cheapest way to go since it only requires glue, water and paper. Then build up the features from the base.
It never hurts too make a plan as suggested just to keep your thoughts organized...and the rest will come. It just a matter of getting started. Good Luck
