Everyone knows a witch's toes are as sharply pointed as her nose. Here's how to make socks to fit.......
I love Halloween and whenever there is a Halloween Magazine in the store...I have to buy it. I have saved all my Halloween magazine over the many years and wanted to share some cute ideas. One of my very favorite is the Witches Coat Rack. This is such a cute decoration for Halloween. You could make it simple and cheaper by just making the "Hat Rack" by getting a board and painting it black or color of choice. Sand the edges and top of the board and stain using a dark walnut stain! Use big carpenter nails for the pegs. You can find Carpeter nails at Lowes or Home Depot. Below is the directions for the Wicked Witch Stockings!
