I decided to make another styrofoam ball critter, but this

time I made a witch to keep the cat company.

To make the witch I used another styrofoam ball of the same

size as the cat, the same eyes as I used on the cat, a small witch hat, black and white yarn, florist picks, small

styrofoam balls, some plastic hands and feet and Mod Podge.

I stuck the hands and feet into the large ball after having

brushed a little Mod Podge on the stems to help them stick in the styrofoam

more securely. I then brushed Mod Podge in strategic areas of the large ball

and started wrapping the black yarn around it.

After having wrapped the entire ball in black yarn and glued

on the eyes, I cut a small styrofoam ball in half and then fashioned a mouth

and nose from the halves, both of which I wrapped in white yarn and then

attached to the large ball with Mod Podge and a florist pick. I then made a wig out of the black and white

yarn by creating a number of braids; I made bangs out of the yarn by using

single short strands of the yarn. I tied

the braids together with a strand of yarn, and did the same for the bangs.

I then stuck a pick into the top of the large ball (it helps

to make a hole first with a metal skewer as it is difficult to pierce through

the yarn with a florist pick) and stuck the braids on the pick.

I did the same with the bangs.

After which I glued the witch hat over the top of the pick

with Mod Podge (I had one little piece of chenille wire left from the cat which

I wrapped around the hat).
