How to put it together
- Person 1 puts on the black dress and sets the pointy hat firmly on the head.
- Person 2 puts on the black top and pants, then fits the cat ears.
- Both add eyeliner, with the Cat drawing a nose and whiskers.
- Add optional boots, gloves and broom, then strike a pose together.
Two variations
Purple Coven
Both add purple scarves or ribbons so the pair looks like a matched set.
Garden Witch and Kitten
Pin paper leaves to the hat and add a small bell ribbon at the Cat's neck.
Safety note
Do a patch test before using eyeliner. Keep hats and ears from blocking vision, and gather long skirts above the ankles to avoid trips.
