A kit for making a witch on a stick that you can stick into a flower pot or a bowl of floral foam. The pack contains a spun cotton head with a printed face, a black-and-red pipe cleaner for hair, black wire for arms, red jute for the skirt, a broom die-cut and two sticks. Nothing needs to be colored – you just assemble and glue. Glue is not included.
Meet the Gang
Her Name Comes from Fire – and So Do Her Colors
Black as coal, red as a flame. Ohnimůra looks forward to Witches' Night all year long. Freckles, big eyes and a smile with her front teeth showing – all printed, so nobody has to draw anything. All that's up to you is how wildly you let her hair stick out.
Her friends Zubejda, Uršula and Hrombula are made the same way. Each has different colors, so they look great side by side.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Five Steps and You're Done
In brief here, with a photo for every step on our blog.
1
Arms. Fold the black pipe cleaner in half and wrap it around the longer stick. Twist the loose ends into arms – the wire holds its shape on its own.
2
Head. Drip glue onto the tip of the stick and set the head on it.
3
Skirt. Fold the red jute, thread the stick through the middle and glue the jute under the arms. Want fringe like in the photo? Pull a few threads out of the bottom edge.
4
Hair. Put glue on top of the head and press on the black-and-red pipe cleaner. A hot glue gun holds instantly; with Duvilax or Herkules, hold the hair in place for a while.
5
Broom. Glue the broom die-cut onto the shorter stick, thread it under the skirt and wrap the arms around the handle. If anything loosens over time, just glue it again.
Three Ideas for Using It
Where Ohnimůra Will Feel at Home
Thanks to the stick, you can push it into soil or floral foam.
On the Table at a Witches' Party
A bowl of floral foam, a few branches and Ohnimůra in the middle. A table decoration for a school or community celebration, done in no time.
For a Flower Pot in the Kids' Room
Kids make it themselves and then proudly guard it on the windowsill. Even until the next Witches' Night.
For an Afternoon with Grandma
The child twists the wire and combs the hair, Grandma keeps an eye on the glue. A one-afternoon craft that doesn't take over the whole table.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Herkules enough, or is a hot glue gun better?
Either works. A hot glue gun bonds instantly and is best for the hair. Herkules or Duvilax is safer for kids – you just have to hold the hair for a few minutes after gluing until it sets.
What age is it for?
Younger kids can wrap the wire and put on the head; help them with the gluing and the broom. Schoolchildren can assemble the witch on their own. But leave the hot glue gun to the adults, or let kids use it only under supervision.
Where can I find instructions?
On our blog in the article Witch – Flower Pot Pick. It's the same for all four witches, and every step has a photo.
Can we throw her into the bonfire at the celebration?
Better not. Wires and glue don't belong in a fire, and a big witch made of straw and old rags is all the bonfire needs. Let Ohnimůra enjoy it from a safe distance and then go home to her flower pot.
We're planning a craft session for the whole preschool. How do we order?
Plan on one set per child. We issue invoices with payment terms to preschools, schools, municipalities and organizations – just enter the organization's name and its registration or tax ID number when you order. If you mix all four witches, every class will have a colorful gathering.
