If the Sanderson sisters are #SquadGoals, this Halloween craft is for you!

Ready to see how I made this easy Hocus Pocus themed Halloween decor by hanging spooky witch hats, a crooked broom, and some witch stockings from the Dollar Store? The witch hats are actually DIY luminaries with dollar store battery operated lights inside, and it becomes a fun effect once it’s dark outside.

Out of all the DIY halloween crafts we have featured, this one has to be one of my favorites, as I love the result! You can just use inexpensive traditional black witch hats, however I noticed the lights showed up brighter in this fun purple witch hat I used!

Hang indoors or outside for creative Halloween porch decor.

You can display this fun and easy craft idea inside like I did, or even outside on your porch or perhaps hanging from a tree for trick-or-treaters to enjoy on Halloween night.

Hip Tips:



Witch Hat Hanging Luminaries

Print

Supplies Needed

  • witch hat
  • sewing needle
  • fishing wire
  • battery operated tea lights
  • tape or hot glue
  • small command hooks

Directions

1

Thread the fishing line threw a needle, and thread it through the top of the witch hat. Don’t cut the line yet, but instead pull it about a foot long through the inside of hat.

2

Wrap the line around the tip of the tea light and tape or hot glue the line.

3

Repeat by adding a second tea light if desired.

4

From the outside of hat, pull up on the fishing line and cut the line a couple feet or so above, so you’ll have plenty of line to hang it where you’d like.

5

Place your command hooks where desired on the ceiling, and hang your witch hats
