1. Floating Witch Hats
Hang witch hats from the ceiling for a magical, eerie effect. Attach the hats on fishing line or invisible thread so they are suspended in midair looking as though they are floating. Spread these throughout your porch or living room for that mystic atmosphere. Even hang some LED string lights inside for glowing effects at night!
Tip: Use lightweight paper hats for easy hanging and less strain on your ceiling hooks.
2. DIY Witch’s Broomstick Door Decor
Create a welcome door decoration with an old-fashioned broomstick. Paint the handle black or metallic silver and attach faux spider webs, bats, or twine across the bristles of this old broom and hang from the handle of a small chalkboard sign reading “Witch’s Lair” or “Flying Lessons Here.”.
Tip: Attach a small bell or wind chime to the broom handle to create a spooky sound when the wind blows.
3. Bubbling Cauldron with Fog
Bring forth a bubbling cauldron that oozes fog for a dramatic centerpiece. All you need is a black plastic cauldron, some dry ice, and a small bowl of water. Toss the dry ice into water to create a sort of fog effect. For extra flair, include plastic eyeballs, toy snakes, or glow-in-the-dark items inside the cauldron to create a real witch’s potion look.
Safety Note: Always handle dry ice with gloves and use it in a well-ventilated area.
4. Witchy Hand Candle Holders
Make the creepy witch’s hand hold a candle, putting it together with spookiness. You could either make it with plaster or purchase a ready-made one from craft shops. Proceed to paint it green, then add artificial warts or wrinkles on the hand. Attach really long black nails, then put in a little candle in the hand’s grip; voila. That’s spooky yet classy decoration for your table or mantle.
Tip: Battery-operated candles work best for safety and longevity.

5. Flying Witch Silhouettes
Create flying witch silhouettes in your windows or walls to create a spookily eerie touch. You can create a silhouetted witch figure riding a broom with black construction paper or cardboard. Paste these silhouettes in your windows or even from the roof to pretend that the witches are flying across the night sky.
Tip: Use glow-in-the-dark paint or tape to outline the silhouettes for an extra spooky nighttime effect.
6. Miniature Potion Bottles
Create a few homemade witch potion bottles. Use small glass bottles and fill them with colored water or food coloring, or glitter or small objects like plastic spiders. Apply creepy labels such as “Dragon’s Blood,” “Worm’s Slime,” or “Elixir of Nightmares.” Attach them to a shelf or table for an easy Halloween decoration that looks fun.
Tip: You can seal the bottles with wax for an old, authentic feel.
7. Witch’s Spellbook
Create this faux ancient spellbook to give that mysterious aura to your witch-themed decor. This one you’ll need an old, hardcover book for, which you can drape in faux leather or paint the cover black. Use a gold marker or paint and write “Spells” or “Hexes” on the front. This one will look perfect on your coffee table surrounded by candles and other witchy things.
Tip: Lightly burn the edges of some pages for an even more aged and mystical look.
8. Witch’s Cauldron Treat Station
Bring a simple cauldron to life and enjoy it in a candy station for your Halloween party. Place a black cauldron on a table for Halloween treats as fillers, including candy corn, chocolates, or spooky cookies. Add a pair of witch legs sticking out from within the cauldron, as if she fell in while stirring her potion.
Tip: Use striped socks and old shoes to create the witch’s legs. You can stuff the socks with cotton or paper.
9. Witch’s Hat Place Settings
Insert witch hat place cards to make your dinner table set up very special at a Halloween-themed dinner party. Cut out paper witch hats of all sizes, and attach slips with names written on them. Instead of a place card at each chair, put a small Halloween treat such as a mini broomstick or a cauldron filled with candy.
Tip: You can also attach the hats to wine glasses or napkin rings for an added touch.
10. Witch Boot Planters
For a fun and unusual outdoor decoration, use old boots as witchy planters. You can paint them black, add green or purple stripes to the side, and fill them with seasonal flowers or greenery for that quirky look. They’ll look wonderful near your front door or along your garden walkway.
Tip: Add a small broom or cauldron next to the boots to complete the outdoor witch setup.
11. DIY Witch Lanterns
Make the pathway to your door or porch lighter and darker with spooky DIY witch lanterns. Collect empty mason jars or old glass bottles, paint witchy-silhouettes in them-a witch’s face, hat, or broomstick-would be a great start-and insert a battery-powered candle into each. A little magic, spooky atmosphere will be yours.
Tip: Use frosted glass spray paint for a more subtle, ghostly effect.
