Witch Crash Decoration

Want to make your house the best on the block? I'm Lee Woodruff at the craft table with Family Fun. The witch crash lawn decoration will do the trick.

For the outfit you'll need black sweat pants, turtle neck, and shoes, striped knee socks, green dish washing gloves, a wig, and a store bought witches hat. For the materials you'll need 4 two foot long 1x3 inch wooden boards, a hammer and nails, a draw string trash bag, and a broom. First, measure the sweat pants legs and trim them to a few inches shorter than the boards. Slide the wooden legs into the sweat pants. To make the arms, take the two remaining wooden boards and insert them into the sleeves of the turtle neck. If necessary, trim the sleeves so that they are a few inches shorter than the boards. Now it's time to head outside. Choose a crash site for your witch. Ideally the tree should also be highly visible to passersby. Next, and this is a parent's job, nail a leg onto each side of the tree 3 or 4 feet up and parallel to the ground. Slide the socks and shoes onto the ends of the legs, then secure the broom in place by nailing it to the tree and to one of the wooden legs. Next, nail one arm onto each side of the tree about a foot above the legs. Pull the trash bag draw string tight and then nail the bag in place so it hangs down as a cape. Secure the cape at the bottom as well so it doesn't blow around. Lastly, nail the wig to the tree, cover it with a hat, then nail the hat in place. This witch may have not passed drivers ed but she won't fail to make the whole neighborhood laugh.
