This Halloween, try a DIY Hocus Pocus Halloween Porch Sign for your home with this easy step by step tutorial!
Halloween is one of the most fun holidays to celebrate! From dressing up, Halloween parties to going out trick or treating, there’s always something fun to do.
In less than one week, Hocus Pocus 2 will release on Disney Plus and are more than excited to watch the Sanderson sisters back in action. We even planned out our menu consisting of Run Amuck Cocktails and a Spooky Halloween Charcuterie Board for movie night.
Making a Hocus Pocus wood porch sign that reads “It just a bunch of Hocus Pocus” is a fun way to celebrate the release of the new Hocus Pocus 2 Halloween movie and decorate your porch. This DIY project is easy to follow and requires only a few supplies. Let’s get started!
Supplies Needed
- Cricut cutting machine
- Green cutting mat
- Wedding tool
- 4 – 12×12 sheets white oracal vinyl
- 1 – 12×12 sheet purple oracal vinyl
- 1 – 12×12 sheet orange oracal vinyl
- Scraper tool
- 1 sheet transfer tape – I reuse the tape on each piece/ more if you don’t want to reuse.
- 1 small bottle black matte acrylic paint
- Paint Brush
- Wood 1x4x4
- Polycrylic
- Measuring tape
How to Make a Hocus Pocus Porch Leaner
Paint the wood board front and back with the matte black paint. Let dry completely.
Open Cricut design space. Upload the SVG file to design space. Depending on the board size you may need to resize lettering, stars, cat, and broom. I did the letters at 4 inches per the length of my board. You can use ungroup and contour to select the pieces you would like to use or cut first.
Place the vinyl on the green cutting mat. Cut the letters on vinyl cut on the machine dial. Once cut weed the letters with the weeding tool.
Tape the letters to the board to see the spacing. Use transfer tape to place each onto the board. I use the scraper tool to rub well and then peel back transfer tape. Do this for each letter then for the other items like the broom and cat where you would like to add them.
Once you have the entire design on the board make sure all the pieces are flat. Let set overnight for the oracal to cure.
Then seal with some polycrylic by brushing the polycrylic on. I don’t use spray form as it clumps. Brush well and let dry for 24 hours.
To finish off your DIY Hocus Pocus porch sign, simply add some Halloween decor to give it that spooky feel! We recommend using witch hats, fake cobwebs, and witches legs. Have fun with this project and Happy Halloween!
