Creativity in costuming is definitely something we have a passion for and although most of us (ahem) are past the age of trick or treating, we do have children who like candy.......
3) Glue your cardstock brim to a scrap of muslin. When dry, cut it out.
......
4) Stitch up a triangle from muslin. Make the bottom edge about the same measurement as the outside of the brim.
......
5) Turn your triangle inside out and stuff lightly with a paper towel.
6) Holding your triangle like an ice cream cone, feed tip of hat through brim (cloth side toward tip of hat) til the cone is a nice fit all around. Then snip down to brim every quarter inch or so.


......
10) Using acrylic paints, paint your hat however you like. This little witch is partial to teal. After drying, I lightly sand and then stain with burnt umber. When that's dry I sand again, and add a little hat band. 
......
You can get as creative as you want. No one says witch hats have to be black. Why not polka dots? Or beaded? Maybe her hat band is glittery, or covered in silk flowers. So many possiblities!
......
Now you try!
