Customization Options:

If you want to add an extra eerie touch to your witches' fingers, there are a few customization options you can try. For a green, "witch-like" color, add a few drops of green food coloring to the dough. You can also shape the dough into different lengths and widths to create different sized fingers. And for an added crunch, you can use slivered almonds instead of whole almonds for the nails.
