A DIY small witch hat can be a fun and creative way to celebrate Halloween or other costume parties. Making your own witch hat allows you to customize it to your liking and ensures that it will fit properly. To start, gather the necessary materials, such as black felt or fabric, a circular object to use as a template (such as a dinner plate or bowl), scissors, a needle, and thread. Using the circular object, trace two circles on the fabric and cut them out. These will form the brim of the hat. The size of the circles will determine the overall size of the hat, so you can adjust accordingly.
According to archaeological evidence, Bindrunes were more commonly used in the periods of time before and after the Viking era.
While we ve explored the meaning of several Viking love bind runes in this article, the world of bind runes is vast and full of potential for further exploration. Not only were they used there for the purpose of writing in general but they were also used in magic, including charms, spells and their Galdrastafir magic symbols.
The size of the circles will determine the overall size of the hat, so you can adjust accordingly. Next, cut a long, rectangular strip of fabric to create the cone shape. The length and width of the strip will depend on how tall and wide you want the hat to be.
What Are Bindrunes?
Bindrunes, also known as Bind Runes, are ligatures made up of two or more runes. A ligature is created when two or more phonetic symbols (graphemes), or two or more letters from an alphabet, are combined to make a single glyph.
Bindrunes are not often found on Viking Age artifacts, but they were more commonly used in periods of time before and after the Viking Age, as evidenced by archeological finds.
The most common bindrunes featured two runes joined together, often sharing one vertical line as a connection point. The Bluetooth logo is an excellent example of this type of bindrune; its glyph is a combination of the Younger Futhark runes ᛒ and ᚼ, which phonetically represent the letters B and T respectively.
A less common form of bindrune, a same-stave rune, is found almost exclusively in mainland Northern Europe and features a row of runes connected by a common line that more commonly runs horizontally but sometimes vertically.
Bindrunes were used for decorative or ornamental purposes, and they could also be used as a symbolic signature for a person. Many archeological examples of same-stave runes show that they were used to name a person or a place on runestone monuments.
“Joyful Meeting” Bindrune
Even though they are no longer used in the same ways in our modern world, bindrunes can be a powerful and concise way to bring the positive / helpful energy of multiple runes into one symbol that can be used in a variety of ways (altar work, company logo, ritual work, wearable talisman, etc). Tattoos are another popular way to bear the old world power of a bindrune in modern society.
To the right is another example of a bindrune, one I drew by hand. This bindrune combines Gebo (ᚷ) and Wunjo (ᚹ) to create a bindrune I call “Joyful Meeting.”

Take one of the fabric circles and fold it in half. Then, cut a small triangle out of the fold to create a small hole in the center. This will be the top of the hat where the cone will be attached. Now, take the rectangular strip of fabric and wrap it into a cone shape, overlapping the edges and securing them with a needle and thread. Adjust the size of the cone as needed to fit your head. Once the cone is formed, attach it to the top of the fabric circle with the hole using the needle and thread. Make sure it is securely sewn in place. Next, take the other fabric circle and sew it onto the bottom of the cone, covering the open end of the cone. This creates the brim of the hat. Finally, trim any excess fabric or thread and try on your DIY small witch hat. You can further customize it by adding embellishments such as ribbon, feathers, or glitter. Remember, this DIY small witch hat can be personalized in various ways. You can use different colors of fabric, decorate it with sequins or stickers, or even add a veil or tulle for a more dramatic effect. Let your creativity soar when making your own witch hat..
