How To Make An Easy Halloween Witch

Fall

Do you like decorating for Halloween but don't want to break the bank doing it? I'm sharing how to make an easy Halloween witch on a budget!

I started with a regular sized tomato cage and placed it upside down on the floor.

How do I make a tomato cage witch?

These trash bag witches are so very easy to make, let’s get started.

I started with a regular-sized tomato cage and placed it upside down on the floor.

I put a plastic pumpkin pail upside down onto the 3 stakes of the tomato cage. Depending on the weather and where you're putting them you can use twine to tie the pumpkin pail handle to the tomato cage for stability.

I placed a yard sized garbage back over the pumpkin pail and tomato cage, and used twine to tie a waist for the witch under the pumpkin pail. Later I decided to switch this to some yarn I had on hand but you could also use ribbon, or anything you want.

I hot glued another pumpkin bucket to the top for a head. You could use the face of the pail or place it backwards as I did. I'll left mine blank but you could also draw or paint a face on if you like.

Optional step. I bought one of these battery operated LED lights from the dollar store and placed it inside so my witch head would flicker at night.

I added a witch hat to the top of the pumpkin pail. If you put an LED light inside you'll need to be able to reach inside and turn it on. If you aren't putting a light inside you can hot glue the hat to the head. To make the hat stick up right I filled it with a couple recycled grocery bags.

I made 3 of these witches. To create their arms, I cut strips of another garbage back, made a knot in the middle to represent a hand, and hot glued the ends to each witch. This is the corner or shoulder of the garbage bag. On the witch ends, I hot glued a strip to the shoulder and made a knot at the end and left it hanging out.

What do you think of my garbage bag witches? So easy right?!!!

    I used a tomato cage fall topiary by stuffing one with fake leaves and topping with a scarecrow.. it will look nice up to Christmas decorating time.

    Amazing as always Chas! I don’t know how you think of these things, but they’re fabulous! I couldn’t help but think of Shakespeare’s Enter Three Witches! 🙂 Hope you have a lovely day – thanks for being as inspiring as you always are!

    Adorable Chas! So glad you posted! I did not want to go all out for Halloween because I’m thinking it will be a pretty quiet one here this year. But this is just the perfect! Thanks so much. Always Inspiring!

    Very clever and well done for a spooktacular display! I have a trio of ghosts used to encircle a tree with a flood light shown up in the center branches. Love it but had to buy it in a post Halloween clearance.

    I made the 3 garbage bag witches. They turned out really cute. Unfortunately in Minnesota it’s a little windy and i kept ending up with headless witches. To solve that issue I filled a small hole in the bottom bucket and the top bucket and fastened them together with a small screw and bolt. Added a few rocks for extra weight. Problem solved.
