DIY Halloween: Witchy Laundry Line

I love a good holiday banner! I got the inspiration for this cute witchy laundry line over on Etsy! It’s super simple to do and I love the way mine turned out! Feel free to use different colors than me to make it your own!

Here’s what you’ll need:

  • Colored felt squares
  • Colored thin ribbon
  • Mini clothespins
  • Twine
  • Paper (for the stencil)
  • Tailor’s Chalk
  • Hot glue/hot glue gun
  • Scissors
  1. Draw your templates on sheets of paper. For the dress, I folded the paper in half so that it would be symmetrical and for the collar, I used the neckline of my dress template so it would match when I glued it on.
  2. Using the tailor’s chalk trace your stencil on the felt. For mine, I made the dress, bloomers, shoes, and hat black. The stockings, I used orange and for the collar, I used purple. For the dress, I didn’t trace the bottom so that I could cut the bottom to look like shredded fabric. I also decided to do something similar with the sleeves.

3. Hot glue the collar to the dress. For the hat, I laid the green ribbon down on the hat before cutting it and hot gluing it in place. For the stockings, instead of cutting ribbons to the exact size of each part of the piece I just cut a bunch of small pieces of ribbon. Then I glued them on and trimmed them once the glue had dried. I did the same for the ribbon on the bloomers and the little ribbon on the shoes.

4. Unravel the twine and lay each piece along it in the configuration you like. This is when I use the mini clothespins to keep them in place. Once you have them where you want them you can trim the twine. Be sure you leave equal distances on each side so you have enough to hang it up!
