Halloween Witch in My Bush!


A Witch Crashed into My Bushes!

This was a fun "decoration" for Halloween!  And the best part - super simple!
I bought a pool noodle toy - so lucky we have a toy store that carry's these all year!  

Cut it in half to start the legs
Add a striped pair of socks to each leg
I then put a piece of wire into each one

Actually what I used was a squashed up wire hanger!  Up-cycle for the bend!

I then stuffed a pair of black socks to look like shoes.  At first I didn't want to use my black suede boots
But as you can see - I didn't like the way it turned out, almost alien squid looking!
Those are buckles I made from cardboard and aluminum foil in an attempt to look more witchy shoes
I don't think it worked so I swapped it out for my boots

Oh my goodness - so much better!  I can always bring the legs inside if it rains!   I put a mop handle up the tube to act like a stake
Which you can see in this photo before I covered it up better.

Happy Halloween!
