Make a bow with additional ribbon and glue it to the back. Use glitter ribbon to craft a square piece for the front, and consider using these mini hats as tags, basket decorations, hanging decor, or even wands by attaching them to dowels.

8. Vintage portraits with witch hats

Transform vintage portraits into Halloween witch decor using thrifted frames, black acrylic paint, and cardstock. Paint the frame, find a vintage photograph (or use your own family photos), and create a witch hat from black cardstock.
