The talented designer Beth Watson (Creatively Beth) took a pair of plain black flats and a piece of dowel. With some tulle, trim and appliques she created a good witch wand and slippers. 


What you will need:

1 Pair of Black flats

1 Dowel 1/4" inch (plastic or wood)

2 yrds. Braided Decorative Trim

1 bottle of Beacon’s Fabri-tac or hot glue

3 cardboard circles 3"-inches in diameter


STEP ONE: Add Braid to Flats

Using an adhesive like Beacon’s Fabri-tac or hot glue, add the trim to flats along the edge beginning at the front. 

(The seam will be hidden by the rosette.) 

STEP TWO: Creating Rosettes

Cut a long strip of tulle and gather into a circle by stitching along the edge and pulling the tulle tight. You can fold the tulle in half to make a smaller circle for the flats and a large circle for the wand.

STEP THREE: Making Wand

Cut a three-inch circle from cardboard and glue to the dowel. Glue the larger tulle circle to the center. See picture below.

STEP FOUR: Apply Appliques

Glue on the appliques. We have a vast selection of beautiful appliques to iron or glue on! See them here! Appliques

You now have the cutest magic wand and slippers fit for any Halloween witch, princess or fairy! nd the color choices, decisions, decisions!
