Easy DIY Halloween Cauldron

This is a super simple DIY Halloween Cauldron we made in 2021. This is one of my all-time favorite Halloween decorations! I made a very short video to show how it’s done. Enjoy!

  • Large Plastic Cauldron bought years ago, I think at Party City
  • Color Change Halloween Lights (affiliate link)
  • Lighted Mister with auto shut off (affiliate link)
  • Cake cover/bowl from Dollar Tree, holes closed with hot glue, and painted black. This one took some trial and error until I found something that fit correctly. You want whatever you use to hang just inside the cauldron so the mister is up high.

TTMT #647 – Whew, what a week!

In which I talk about the silent auction wrap-up, our continued efforts with our home Halloween decor, and mostly recovering from last week!

A VERY HAPPY birthday to my BFF Jewells. Her birthday was on Saturday, which was a crazy day for me, but I did manage to say Happy Birthday and I sent her a birthday gift a few weeks ago. ♥

I also mention in this video that I will not be attending the International Quilt Fest this year. I have been debating for weeks and have just decided I do not have it in me this year.

TTMT #646 – Bling Box

In which I share my artist supply box turned jewelry box and a peek at one of our Halloween projects! The purple/orange lights were are battery operated and we found them at Target. I didn’t make a note of the manufacturer, sorry about that! The Silent Auction is this weekend and I am sure you’re ready to stop hearing about it. Thank you for watching! ♥

Happy Thursday! We’ve got just a few more days left in our 31 Days of Halloween journey and I do hope you’ve enjoyed every step of the way!

First, we have the humble cauldron, a staple in any witch’s pantry!

I’ve taken these two simple patterns, added in Moody’s Magical Eye and my Paper Pieced Bat Pattern, both featured earlier in the 31 Days, and created this fun quilt layout using EQ7!

Crafts of Halloweens Past: Quilty Goodness!

Trick or Treat Sue

Let’s be honest, most of you are here because of the quilts.

I’m totally okay with that.

While I do have many for sale patterns, I have many, many free ones.

Whimsical, fun, happy patterns are my favorite to create. To be frank (or Jennifer, as the case may be!), I make what I like. It’s as plain and simple as that. Making what I like makes me happy, and hopefully, you will feel that when you’re working on a pattern that I designed. If not, then I’m clearly doing it wrong!

Trick-or-Treat Sue, up at the top of this post, was created for a blog hop hosted by Soma over on Whims & Fancies last October.

She’s 10″ paper pieced and can be downloaded right here or over on Craftsy. This sweet Sue is just one of the over 50 magical Sunbonnet Sues that I’ve designed over the years. You can find all of her Magical Friends right here!

If you’re looking for even more quilty goodness for Halloween, try one of these blasts from the past, designed by me and available on the Harry Potter page over on my other site, Fandom In Stitches (click the image for the free pattern!):

Pumpkin cauldron

There are many, MANY more where these came from!

Crafts of Halloween Past: Cauldron Pin Cushion

Pin Cushion Cauldron

From the way back in 2008 Tutorial machine comes a craft I’ve been making for probably 10 or more years; the Cauldron Pin Cushion!

Halloween Bats

Anyplace you shop that has Halloween supplies will have 6, 8, or 12 packs of these wee cauldrons.

And, because we can never have enough toys in our sewing spaces, why not a cauldron pin cushion?

For some added magic, use wool instead of polyfil to help keep your needles sharp!

Go to the tutorial!
