Scrap Escape: Halloween DIY Witch Hat Decor

Halloween Witch Hat Home Decor - Featuring Buttons Galore's Pearlz

I love creating holiday home decor to freshen up the house at Halloween.

My piece today is a wooden witches hat decor piece adorned with Half Pearlz and 3D button embellishments from Buttons Galore and More.

What are Half Pearlz? They are a collection of coordinating iridescent flat backed pearls. The flat back makes them easy to glue on projects. Buttons Galore has a wonderful assortment of colorful Half Pearlz for various occasions and seasons. You can find all the Half Pearlz here.

Today I am showcasing Buttons Galore and More - Pearlz - Wicked Fun HPZ214- richly colored oranges, purples, lavenders and iridescent black. Perfect for adding a touch of Halloween spirit to your projects.

After painting the hat with black acrylic paint, it looked a bit flat when it dried so I added texture with a bubble stencil and gloss gel medium (Ranger Ink - Multi Medium - Gloss which dries glossy - and The Crafter's Workshop - Random Bubbles stencil ).

The gel medium is a great adhesive gel also so I added the Buttons Galore Half Pearlz to the hat while the gel was still wet. It's a great permanent bonding medium. Glue woks fine as well, but the gel medium was easy and convenient.

The project has a few other dimensional elements from Buttons Galore. In addition to the Half Pearlz, I have added some 3D Buttons from Button Value Pack - Halloween VP316 and the 3D Buttons - Bats.
