Funnel for body (was this posted last year?? she looks familiar LOL)

http://www.bhg.com/bhg/story.jsp?sto...data/13661.xml

What You Need:
Two 6x1/2-inch wood dowels
Acrylic paints in black, orange, and purple
Paintbrush
2 wood hearts, approximately 2x1x3/16 inches
1x1/2-inch wood dowel
Hot-glue gun and hot-glue sticks
Small wood base
Paint pens in black, green, orange, and glitter gold
Scissors
4-inch plastic funnel
Black spray paint
Tracing paper
Pencil
Sheet of white card stock
Permanent marking pens in black and green
Red colored pencil
Thick white crafts glue
Scrap of yellow paper

Instructions:
1. Download the free pattern. Wiggling Witch pattern (see link)
2. Paint legs. For legs, paint the 6-inch-long dowels with orange and purple stripes. Paint the hearts black for shoes. Let the paint dry.
3. Assemble legs. Hot-glue the bottom of each dowel to the center back of one heart. The pointed portion of the heart becomes the toe of the shoe. Hot-glue the legs together by gluing the 1x1/2-inch wood dowel spacer between the top of each leg. Hot-glue the shoes to the wood base. Use glitter gold to squeeze three gold buttons down the center of each shoe.
4. Prepare funnel. With heavy-duty scissors, cut the handle from the funnel if necessary. Spray-paint the funnel black and set aside to dry.
5. Trace/cut patterns. Trace the patterns onto tracing paper and cut out. Cut the front (with chin) and the back (without chin) head pieces from card stock. Color the hat black using marking pen. Use green to color the hair as shown in the picture for front. For back, color entire head area with green. Draw in face details using black. Color the mouth and cheeks with red pencil. Outline the hat with black paint pen. Add a gold hatband. Add strokes of green and gold to hair.
6. Attach head. Cut a length of card stock to go around the neck of the funnel. Color it with black. Glue strip around neck of funnel. Glue head front to one side of tube and head back to the opposite side.
7. Prepare arms. Cut arms from card stock. Color the sleeves black and add orange paint-pen stripes to each cuff area. Outline the stripes with black paint pen. Let the paint dry.
8. Add arms. Use crafts glue to glue the arms to the sides of the body. Add buttons down the front of the body using glitter gold paint pen.
9. Add stars. Cut stars from yellow paper and glue the large one to coat and the small one to the tip of each hat.

"...Halloween candy dispensers .. to hold treats for your costumed set. Oversize round ornaments fit mailing tubes, and attached shapes create the faces of a cat, a witch, and a jack-o'-lantern." (hmm pringles & regiular size clear craft ornies? paint the inside like the marbelized ornies. put a hole in the plastic cap and push thru and glue on the upside down ornie maybe...)
