Use a heavy duty stapler to drive staples into the corners, or use hammer and nails.

Twist two small eyelets into the slat on both short sides to hang it.

Rub Bison glue onto the frame of slats.

Divide the glue with a piece of paper, let it dry a bit before sticking it on.

Stick the witch on the front, on the moon. Press the witch firmly on with a cloth.

Glue the frame to the back of the carton board to make it sturdy.

Prick holes in the cardboard with the needle and place a light behind it.

Hang the witch in the window and in the evening take a look outside with the kids. Admire the witch on her good side, she looks really  pretty in the dark.
