Little Props
and Horrors!
Written by Jaimie and Jay Grenier, Wicked Makers
Tis the season... to spook the neighborhood
Halloween is our favorite time of year! It’s a
perfect holiday for makers because we get to
stretch our creative muscles and make some
really fun props and decorations that we can
share with our entire community throughout the
season. It’s a time when anything goes and you
can show off your skills. Whether your theme is
scary, silly, funny, magical, whimsical, or high
tech, there are no rules for a DIY Halloween and
your neighborhood kids are sure to enjoy it no
matter what you build! Here’s a roundup of some
of our favorite haunted DIY projects to inspire you
to make your Halloween more magical:
A
BUBBLING WITCH’S CAULDRON

The Witch’s Cauldron is a classic Halloween
prop and incredibly fun to make! Elevate a store-
bought cauldron by painting on a rusty finish.
Mix ModPodge with oatmeal and paint it green
to create a chunky, overflowing witch’s brew.
Burning embers are easily simulated by spraying
expanding foam over orange string lights. Use
small ultrasonic pond foggers to create bubbles
and mist rising from inside. A tripod made from
lightweight bamboo poles is perfect for hanging
your cauldron above your glowing coals.
