DIY Witches Cauldron using a Pumpkin for Halloween

Today I’m sharing an easy DIY witches cauldron using a pumpkin for Halloween. DIY Halloween crafts are so much fun! This DIY cauldron is a 30 minute halloween craft idea that involves cutting out the center of a faux pumpkin from Michaels Crafts and making witch legs with orange striped stockings.

HOW TO MAKE A WITCHES CAULDRON

To create this DIY pumpkin witches caldron scary theme, you will need a pair of halloween socks, poly fiber fill or paper towels (to fill the socks), stickers, faux large pumpkin, googly eyes and white spray paint.

The small baby pumpkins are freaked out to say the least! I love how the googly eyes brought the tiny gourd pumpkins to life.

  Step 1. Simply cut the stem off a faux pumpkin.

How do you make cauldron mist?

Cauldron mist can be made from dry ice or you can create a faux mist like I did with white poly fiber. 

Step 2. Once the top was removed, I spray painted the pumpkin white and filled my socks. I also decided to add a bit of the polyfill (you can get polyfill in any craft store) around the top of the pumpkin to create a boiling smokey look. I mean, the witch is cooking right? 😉

Step 3. Add sticker to make a halloween saying. I saw this cute saying at Michaels on a sign and thought it would be perfect for the front of our halloween pumpkin. There are so many fun stickers to choose from, these ended up perfect for a fun halloween look. I added a witch hat to pumpkin from HomeGoods and he was good to go.

Isn’t this the cutest DIY pumpkin witches cauldron for Halloween?

Step 4. Dress up your tabletop with the witches cauldron, small pumpkins and Fall spooky decor!

I think this DIY pumpkin witches cauldron for Halloween would be perfect for a kids halloween party situated at the beverage station or even halloween office decor. Many offices have lunchrooms and this DIY witches cauldron would be so cute set up on any tabletop or counter space in an office with bowls of candy.  Or imagine a punch bowl filled with apple cider and these cute pumpkin gourds and cauldron there on display.
