Today I am featuring the new Creative Embellishments Wood Home Decor- Large Witch Hat. While it's still summer, we all know Halloween's gonna be racing toward us in a blink. It's never too soon to think about creating fun Halloween decorations.
Here are the chipboard and wood decor pieces used on the project: Creative Embellishments Wood Home Decor- Large Witch Hat , the spider web from Creative Embellishments - Halloween Scene 2 ( I saved the rest of the set to use on a different project), and I used one of the cats from Creative Embellishments - Cat Set 2.

The wooden shapes are large - perfectly sized for a wall, front door, decor grouping. Witch Hat is 11.5"w x 11.9"h leaving you plenty of surface area to decorate.
The shape is smooth unfinished wood, ready to finish. No sanding needed. I chose to paint mine with a base coat Dusty Concord Distress Paint. After the paint was dry, I used a sea sponge and dabbed a top coat of black acrylic paint - leaving some of the purple showing, sort of mottled.
Below is a great image to show some of the other decorative details used.
The top part of the hat was covered with black cheesecloth - for no other reason than added texture. Plus I really love black cheesecloth at Halloween.
I added a chipboard spider web from Creative Embellishment's Creative Embellishments - Halloween Scene 2. Sorry it's so hard to see clearly - it was hard to photo. It was painted black, then coated with Ranger Ink -Crackle Accents for an eerie cracked effect. It looks fabulous in person - but you'll just have to trust me on this. 
NOTE - Hat Band Shaker is a Special Request
I altered the hat band to be a shaker. This was a special request. Typically the hat band is one piece. I wanted two pieces to make a shaker.
Creative Embellishments is great at trying to accommodate special requests if possible and reasonable.
The shaker mix inside is a combination of buttons from Buttons Galore and More, plus some of their new Doo Dadz shaker mix.
The cute tomb stone is a 3D button also from Buttons Galore 3D Buttons- Happy Hauntings pack - a cool finishing touch. from .
