3. Using the gold felt, cut out 3 moons, one about 1″ from point to point and the other 2 about 3″ from point to point. Then cut out a 1-1/2″ star and a 2-1/2″ star.

Place and glue two of the skeleton hands on each side of the box, the hands will be about 3-1/2″ apart.
5. Take two of the wooden plugs and paint eyes on them. Glue those onto the egg. Paint the noise with the blue paint and the glue into place. Take a black pipe cleaner about 4″ long to make the mouth and glue to the egg. Take one of the flat head plugs paint that green, then glue on the side of the witches face.
6. Cut about two 3″ pieces off of the neon green boa and glue to the top of the egg for the hair, then glue the hat on top of egg.
