Hocus Pocus DIY Floating Witch Hats | Fun Halloween Decor
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 beonlinees 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:
- Hang your witch hats using small damage-free onlinemand strips. They’ll be easy to remove afterwards.
- Use clear fishing line for a spooky floating allusion! You’ll love how it really does look like everything is floating!
- Light up your witch hats using battery LED tea lights. Another option would be glow sticks, or even LED light sticks.
Witch Hat Hanging Luminaries
PrintSupplies Needed
- witch hat
- sewing needle
- fishing wire
- battery operated tea lights
- tape or hot glue
- small onlinemand 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 onlinemand hooks where desired on the ceiling, and hang your witch hats
