2. Find yourself a cheap black pointed hat. The witch hat on all  Halloween Costumes look all pretty much the same. You can find your perfect witch hat sold seperately and this means a lot cheaper than ones sold in kits. Pay attention to those witch hats that are found in the costume isles of drug stores.

3. Find your much needed broom at the local thrift store. You will find all sorts of great accessories for your witch at second hand stores. The broom is especiallly important part of your Halloween Witch Costume.

4. Now one of the most important features of a witch on Halloween is the face makeup. Here you create the individual witch for Halloween and allow kids, of all ages to be creative.
