data-end=\"394\">1. Paint the Plate<\/strong><\/h4><p data-start=\"189\" data-end=\"331\">Paint the entire paper plate black and let it dry completely. This will be the night sky background for your witch.<\/p><h4 data-start=\"467\" data-end=\"488\"><strong data-start=\"467\" data-end=\"486\">2. Draw the Witch Body and Broom<\/strong><\/h4><ul><li data-start=\"333\" data-end=\"482\">On a separate sheet of paper, draw the witch\u2019s body and her broom.<\/li><li data-start=\"333\" data-end=\"482\">Use bold outlines to make cutting easier.<\/li><\/ul><h4><strong>3. Cut Out the Drawn Shapes<\/strong><\/h4><ul><li data-start=\"643\" data-end=\"695\">Carefully cut along the outlines of your witch and broomstick.<\/li><li data-start=\"643\" data-end=\"695\">Take your time to ensure smooth edges so your witch looks neat when attached to the plate.<\/li><\/ul><h4 data-start=\"613\" data-end=\"637\"><strong>4. Colour the Cut-Outs<\/strong><\/h4><p data-start=\"930\" data-end=\"1161\">Bring your witch to life with bright colours! Use crayons, markers, or coloured pencils to add details to her clothes, hat, and broom.<\/p><h4><strong>5. Fold the Plate<\/strong><\/h4><ul><li data-start=\"1163\" data-end=\"1352\">Fold the painted paper plate in half from the centre.<\/li><li data-start=\"1163\" data-end=\"1352\">This fold allows the plate to rock back and forth, making it look like your witch is flying in the night sky.<\/li><\/ul><h4><strong>6. Attach the Witch to the Plate<br \/><\/strong><\/h4><ul><li data-start=\"1354\" data-end=\"1635\">Glue the coloured cut-outs of the witch and broom onto the black-painted plate. Position her in a flying pose so it looks like she\u2019s zooming through the sky when the plate rocks.<\/li><li data-start=\"1354\" data-end=\"1635\">You can slightly angle the broom to give a dynamic effect.<\/li><\/ul><h4><strong>7. Add Stars and Decorations<\/strong><\/h4><ul><li data-start=\"1637\" data-end=\"1893\">Using colourful markers or gel pens, draw tiny stars, moons, or sparkles around your witch on the black background.<\/li><li data-start=\"1637\" data-end=\"1893\">This will create a magical night sky effect. You can even add glitter or metallic stickers to make it shine.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b93744e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"b93744e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">2.
