How to make a witch's hat (or wizard's hat)

Takes about a day (including drying time)

1. First, cut open an empty Tempo box and smooth it out. Cut off the ends and then roll it into a cone shape. Secure it with tape and then cut off the excess cardboard around the bottom of the cone.
2. Next, cut open the second empty Tempo box and flatten it. Place a dessert plate in the middle, trace the edges with a pen and cut out the shape. Now do the same with the cone; place the cone in the middle, trace its shape and then cut it out. Finally, stick the pieces together with tape.
3. Now tear the Tempo tissues into pieces and glue them to the surface of the hat using a glue mixture of two parts glue to one part water. Add a few layers to your hat before leaving it to dry in a warm place.
4. Paint the hat in the colors of your choice and let it dry. Don't worry about the mess, it's part of the process! Trace the star stencils, coat them with glue and sprinkle them with spooky sparkly glitter.
5. Finally, make a few holes in the brim of the hat and thread the elastic band through.

Hats off, you've made a witch's hat! Now it's time to show off your DIY Halloween costume skills.

How to make a “Día de Muertos” skull mask and other scary masks

Takes about 6 hours (including drying time)

1. First, cut open an empty Tempo box and flatten it. Place the mask template in the middle, trace it and then cut it out, including the eyes, nose and the slits at the top and sides.
2. Next, decorate the mask with the bright colored pencils. For example, you can draw hearts, flowers, leaves and dots. When making a DIY Halloween costume for children, it is best to let your imagination run wild... get creative and have fun with your DIY Halloween costume mask.
3. Now it's time to shape the mask. Place the slits on top of each other and secure them with glue. Then let the mask dry.
4. In the meantime, dissolve some paint in a large bowl of water and dip a tissue in it. Let the paper absorb the paint, remove it from the bowl and place it on newspaper. Repeat the process with different bright colors and then leave the sheets to dry in a warm place.
5. After drying, place the colored Tempo tissues on top of each other and use the templates to cut out flower shapes. Press the flowers together from the middle and glue them onto the mask.
6. Finally, make some holes in the sides of the mask and thread an elastic band through to make a strap.
