Floating witch decorations are a popular choice for Halloween and other spooky-themed events. These decorations typically feature a witch figure hanging from a string or wire, appearing to float in mid-air. They are often used to create an eerie atmosphere and add a touch of magic to any space. There are many different types of floating witch decorations available, ranging from small, simple designs to larger, more elaborate ones. Some may include additional features such as LED lights or sound effects to enhance the overall effect. One of the main advantages of using floating witch decorations is their versatility.
I measured exactly how low I wanted the tea light to hang inside of the hat. Then, I placed a wood ball where I wanted to create a 'stopper'. There are a lot of things that could work for this step but I just happened to have these on hand and they were the perfect size to fit at the end of the hat.

DIY Floating Witch Hats
I am so excited for the Halloween season to begin! Halloween really feels like the beginning of the holiday season which is my absolute favorite time of the year! I love everything about fall from the pumpkin spice flavors to clear blue skies and rainbow colors of changing leaves. Maybe a little bit of me loves fall because once Halloween is over it's pretty much Christmas time in my books (this is a moment I will say #sorrynotsorry). Of course we still celebrate Thanksgiving. we just do it with Christmas decor up! No shame in my holiday decorating game.
Anyway, Halloween has always been one of my favorite seasons to decorate for! I don't know if it is because my husband and I moved into our first house together during the Halloween season so I get a bit nostalgic when pulling out old decorations or just the whimsical aspect of all of the decor. It feels like you cannot go wrong! Nothing is off limits with Halloween decorations.
This year, I wanted to step up our front porch game for Halloween decorations. I was 'pinspired' by The Polka Dot Chair to create these hanging witch hats! I am so glad I found this idea because it is so magical and fun!
Let's get started!
What you will need:
- Witch hats (I used 6)
- Clear string or fishing line
- Wood beads (any sort of bead would do- I just happened to have these from another project)
- Battery Operated Tea Lights
- Tacs or Outdoor command strips
The first thing you will want to do is measure your string. I started with about three feet per hat to give me some give and take when hanging the hats.
Then, I tied one end around the flame of the tea light.
I measured exactly how low I wanted the tea light to hang inside of the hat. Then, I placed a wood ball where I wanted to create a 'stopper'. There are a lot of things that could work for this step but I just happened to have these on hand and they were the perfect size to fit at the end of the hat.
This next part would have been easier had I had a sewing needle on hand but I could not find one so I simply turned the hats inside out and cut a very very VERY small hole to start feeding the line through.
Then I turned the hats right side out and pulled tight!
Super easy to reach up under each hat at night to turn the tea lights on/off!
Next was hanging the hats. I started by trying command strips but because our porch ceiling does not have a smooth finish (and because I forgot to get 'outdoor' strips) they did not last so I resorted to using tacs. I simply did a double not loop around each tac!
I just love how they turned out! Such a fun, whimsical way to add some Halloween decor to your porch!

Reviews for "Bring a touch of wickedness to your Halloween decorations with a floating witch"
1. Emma - ★☆☆☆☆
I was really disappointed with the floating witch decoration. The materials used were cheap and flimsy and it looked more like a toddler's craft project than a Halloween decoration. The witch's face was poorly painted with smudged lines and the hat kept falling off. Overall, I felt like I wasted my money on this sub-par decoration and I would not recommend it.
2. John - ★★☆☆☆
The concept of a floating witch decoration seemed cool, but the execution was lacking. The string used to hang the witch was too thin and kept getting tangled. The motion sensor feature was also unreliable as the witch would often start moving when there was no one around. Additionally, the sound effects were too loud and distorted. Although it did add a spooky element to my Halloween decorations, I wouldn't purchase this item again.
3. Sarah - ★★☆☆☆
I thought the floating witch decoration looked great in the product photos, but it was a letdown in person. The size of the witch was much smaller than expected, and the fabric used for the clothing felt cheap and thin. The lights inside the witch's body were also weak, barely illuminating the decoration in the dark. It seemed overpriced for the poor quality and I would not recommend it to others.
4. Mike - ★☆☆☆☆
I purchased the floating witch decoration and was extremely disappointed with its performance. The motion sensor did not work consistently, resulting in the witch not moving when someone was nearby. The sound effects were also underwhelming and barely audible. The worst part was that the mechanism to make the witch "float" was noisy and obnoxious. Overall, I regret buying this decoration and feel like I wasted my money.
