DIY Life-Size 'Hocus Pocus' Witches Halloween Decoration

Directions

1. Start by making three witch heads: stuff each plastic grocery bag with crumpled old sheets or newspapers. Optionally add witch hats for extra authenticity, even though they aren't common in the movie.
2. Hammer three fence posts into the ground at your desired locations for the witches.
3. Turn each filled bag upside down and place it on top of a fence post, then secure the bag's bottom to the post with tape to form a head.
4. Cover the bag with a black fabric piece and tie yarn around it to define a neck. Next, drape a green fabric or tablecloth over the head as a cape and secure it with a green ribbon around the neck. Repeat for the purple and red witches.
5. To make the witches appear to hold hands, attach the cloaks together using clothespins.
6. Add spooky props around the scene: place whimsical brooms made from sticks and twine. Hang a cauldron from a tripod made of branches, decorated with a small skull. For extra atmosphere, put orange lights and firewood under the cauldron, and create bubbling fog with dry ice or a fog machine. Set a Hocus Pocus spell book next to the cauldron.
