Blue Ribbon Recipe by

We have been making these since I was a girl. My mother used to go all out for every holiday. One year my daughter and I made 300 of these hands to give out for trick or treaters... a fun project and something different to hand out. We could hear children yelling out to others, "Go to that house! They have cool treats!" *** You can also used already popped corn, Cheetos, Cheese balls, Fritos, etc... But popcorn is my favorite! *** I use food service gloves (I get them at the deli department of my grocery store) or I use Powder-Free surgical gloves.

What a cute and creepy Halloween party favor! These are really easy to make. And who doesn't like popcorn?!

How To Make witch's hands!

  • Surgical Rubber Glove or Food Service Glove
    2
    Set out the food service or powder-free surgical gloves.
  • A knife in the glove, going to a finger, and poking a tiny hole to push an Indian Corn through to form a fingernail.
    3
    Using a small sharp knife, poke a small hole in the tip of a finger in the glove.
  • This is showing a finger with an Indian Corn in one finger and a knife point making a small hole in another finger.

    Gently push an Indian Corn or candy corn through the hole in the fingertip to create a "fingernail".
