When you are getting ready for Halloween and you've decided to be a witch, there is one thing that you absolutely cannot forget. Witches hats are usually pointed and full of character. You can go with a traditional hat, find an especially festive one or create one of your own. No matter which you choose, you have to have one before stepping foot outside of your front door.
It used to be that the only witches hats available were black, tall and pointy. You can still find these and they are very affordable at any costume store. If you decide to buy one, you can either keep it as it is or turn it into an Arts and Crafts project and add some creative touches to it. Pom poms and glitter can go a long way and you may even want to add some fabric paint to it in order to cast your own spell for a great looking costume.
When you are looking for the perfect hat, you need to decide what kind of witch you are going to be. There are many costumes that feature purples and greens in them. You can find hats that have these colors and even look a little mystical with satin or glitter. Your costume will match perfectly and you'll have the essential witch hat to complete the look of your costume.
Good witches don't have to have traditional witch hats because they are good. You can get very creative with white or pink hats or veils to help your look along. You should think back to the Good Witch on the Wizard of Oz. She wore a tiara not a hat. When you can't find the perfect hat, you may want to consider this option so that you have a finished look on Halloween.
Each of the various hats is going to add a lot of character to your costume. Plus, when you have a great looking hat, you don't have to worry much about your hair. You can even affix the hat to your hair with a few bobby pins to make sure it stays in place.
