So, while a DIY witch costume may not be groundbreaking, it still offers you a cheap and quick way to enjoy the fun of dressing up on Halloween with an accessory as simple as a witch hat.

They are the stars of the best scary movies and not to mention their spells and banter make for the most memorable quotes. And seriously, witches reign supreme on All Hallow’s Eve for a reason. Well, you know what they say: if it ain’t broke don’t fix it.
