How to Make Pottery Barn-Inspired Natural Witches Hat Luminaries

Here’s how I made these spellbinding decorations using simple materials:

Materials Needed:

• Tomato cages
• 18-inch wreath form
• Raffia Wire
• 2 Grapevine garlands
• Brown raffia
• Battery-operated twinkle lights

Directions to Make Pottery Barn-Inspired Witches Hat Luminaries

Step 1: Prepare the Base

Start by spray painting tomato cages and wreath forms with the color of your choice. I repurposed some extra tomato cages from my garden to keep the cost down. Once dry, place the tomato cage inside the wreath form. Secure the two together by wrapping wire around them, creating a sturdy base for your witch’s hat.

Step 2: Reinforce with Raffia

To add an authentic touch, use brown raffia to enhance the structure. Attach the wreath form to the tomato cage by wrapping them together with raffia wire. Connect the ends of the tomato cage at the top by securing them with raffia wire, ensuring a cohesive and rustic look.

Step 3: Introduce Rattan and Grapevine

Now, mimic the texture of Pottery Barn’s design by wrapping rattan wire around the tomato cage in sections. Add grapevine garlands to create depth and mimic the intricate detailing found in the original. Feel free to experiment with the placement of these materials to achieve the desired look.

Step 4: Weave in Raffia Garlands In true Pottery Barn fashion, use raffia garlands to add another layer of detail. Focus on one section in the middle of the tomato cage and another at the bottom. Continue by wrapping regular raffia around the tomato cage, allowing you to customize the appearance of your witches’ hats.

Step 5: Illuminate the Night

Bring your witches hats to life by wrapping them with battery-operated twinkle lights. Begin at the base, wrapping the brim of the hat, and continue all the way up to the top. The versatility of these twinkle lights, offering different settings like strobe, pulsing lights, and various glowing speeds, adds a dynamic element to your display.

Step 6: Set the Scene

Arrange your witches hats on your porch, perhaps clustering different sizes together for a more captivating effect. I opted for a taller and a smaller one side by side, creating a spellbinding entrance to my witch-themed porch. I also made a set for my sister. This is what they look like on her porch. So cute right??

Additional Elements for a Bewitching Porch:

• Hanging witches hats
• Glowing broom wreath (using the same twinkle lights)
• A witches hand
• A skeleton witch
• Faux mums, real and faux pumpkins
• Faux fall flowers wrapped around topiary planters

Creating a hauntingly beautiful porch doesn’t have to break the bank. By following these simple steps, you can craft Pottery Barn-inspired witches hats that not only add a touch of magic to your Halloween decor but also leave your wallet intact.
