Simple Chevron Witch Hat and Pumpkin

Remember that fabulous navy and white chevron tray I made?

I knew you would.

It was just so simple and fabulous that I couldn’t keep myself from putting some chevron love into my Halloween decor.

Chevron Witch Hat & Pumpkin {rainonatinroof.com} #frogtape #chevron #witchYep, I made a chevron witch hat with my beloved FrogTape Chevron Shape Tape.

Just like my chevron tray, this was so simple! I started with this cardboard witch’s hat I picked up at a local craft store for a few bucks.

Chevron Witch Hat & Pumpkin {rainonatinroof.com} #frogtape #chevron #witchIt was screaming for chevron and glitter, don’t you think?

Before putting on any shape tape, I spray painted the entire hat glossy black, then pulled out my chevron shape tape and got to work.

Chevron Witch Hat & Pumpkin {rainonatinroof.com} #frogtape #chevron #witchTo get the round, contoured cut on the tape where the cone meets the hat brim, I cut lightly with an X-Acto blade. And just like with my chevron tray, I used a small piece of the tape to measure the distance between where I applied the tape. After all the tape was where I wanted it, I made sure to press it down hard and remove any air bubbles, so there was a secure seal. Shape Tape is just like regular FrogTape, it has the PaintBlock® Technology that forms a barrier to keep the paint from bleeding!

This is what I came up with:

Chevron Witch Hat & Pumpkin {rainonatinroof.com} #frogtape #chevron #witchI apologize for the blurriness, but you get the idea.

I took it out to the garage and gave it coat of orange spray paint. Right after I gave it a coat of spray paint, I threw some orange glitter (throw some glitter, make it rain!) on it, to accentuate that fabulous chevron effect.

Chevron Witch Hat & Pumpkin {rainonatinroof.com} #frogtape #chevron #witchSo now my garage floor sports not only green, navy, white and orange colors, but glitter as well.

I let it sit for 5 minutes or so and then pulled off the tape.

The base looked fabulous, however, I didn’t like how I had positioned the shape tape on the cone, so I taped off the base and sprayed the entire cone orange and added glitter to it.

And then, I had this fabulous end result:

Chevron Witch Hat & Pumpkin {rainonatinroof.com} #frogtape #chevron #witchGrunt Labor came home and asked if I had really made that.

Oh, ye, of little faith. He was pretty impressed. I don’t know if he has figured out about the shape tape yet and just how easy that makes projects. Maybe I won’t tell him just yet….It’s good to be queen.

Chevron Witch Hat & Pumpkin {rainonatinroof.com} #frogtape #chevron #witchThe hat is the perfect topper to my upcycled skull, which I’ll be telling you about next week.

And because I love me some chevron so much, I just had to do a chevron pumpkin:

Chevron Witch Hat & Pumpkin {rainonatinroof.com} #frogtape #chevron #witchBeware, I still have some chevron shape tape left, there may be more chevron-ness in the future!

Watch out, world.
