Easy Halloween Craft: DIY Light-Up Pumpkin with a Witch Hat

A popular and festive decoration during the Halloween season is a light-up pumpkin with a witch hat. This whimsical and spooky decoration combines two iconic symbols of the holiday – the glowing pumpkin and the mysterious witch. The light-up pumpkin serves as the base of the decoration, often made of durable materials such as plastic or resin. It is usually designed to resemble a classic carved pumpkin with a wicked smile and glowing eyes. The pumpkin is hollowed out inside to accommodate a small light source, typically a battery-operated LED light. When turned on, the light emits an eerie glow, adding an eerie atmosphere to any Halloween display.

When turned on, the light emits an eerie glow, adding an eerie atmosphere to any Halloween display. Sitting atop the light-up pumpkin is a witch hat, which completes the look and adds a touch of witchcraft to the decoration. The hat is typically made of fabric and features the classic pointed shape associated with witches.

Do you think Billy, Tommy, and Teddy should get new codenames at this point? I feel like they've outgrown theirs but I can't think of anything better. Especially since they already brought it up with Billy and tried to change his but nothing's stuck except for Wiccan.

I don’t think they need to, and I’ve answered this question many times now. Check out these posts: [x] [x] [x] [x] [x]

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with “Speed.” I think it suits Tommy, and I like that it’s shorter and simpler than Quicksilver.

“Wiccan” is complicated, but I personally find those nuances really intriguing. There is a lot that can be gained from digging into the origins of Wicca, the word “wiccan” itself, and why, in the cultural landscape of the 2000s, it was being used interchangeably with “witch.” A lot has been said by other folks about Billy’s codename in relation to his Jewish identity, but I’m not the person to speak on that. I will say, however, that I like subverting expectations and stereotypes about witches and Romani people, in the hopes of bringing more authentic understanding to those characters. Usually, that means leaning into the problematic stuff, not dismissing it. So, I say we either keep “Wiccan,” or bring in someone who really knows the history to write about that before you change it.

I do agree that Teddy could stand to drop the name “Hulkling,” because it just isn’t relevant to any part of his character or backstory. At the same time, though, you could argue that he’s made it his own thing. Maybe to the people of the Kree-Skrull Alliance, “Emperor Hulkling” is a fancy title, kinda like Caesar. Still, I’d rather they just call him “Emperor Dorrek,” “Dorrek VIII,” or even “Dorrek-Vell.” But, in his role as Emperor, I just don’t think he needs a superhero name at all.

I feel like Pietro’s obviously had some variation in his costume, especially the color, but the core of the original works so well they just keep going back to it every time they step away—big white lightning bolt across the chest, which is a pretty good indication as to who he is and what he does as a hero, he’s a speedster. Meanwhile the closest equivalent for Wanda is her tiara, which has taken wildly different forms but is usually present (in 616 at least)—but it doesn’t really mean anything. It’s just a cool hat. It’s still a good signature, especially since other gals with similar headpieces (Storm and Polaris come to mind) haven’t kept them as consistently

Yeah, I like Pietro’s basic costume a lot, and I always think he looks silly when they try to do something different just for the sake of being different. That’s why I love his current design so much– it’s the iconic Quicksilver costume, but with just enough extra details that it reads as modern athletic gear. They perfectly contemporized it without actually changing the look.

You could argue that lightning bolts aren’t a great symbol for speed when there are also a lot of characters with actual lightning powers, but, you know, it’s better than a fast-forward symbol.

Wanda’s headpiece is interesting because it didn’t, originally, have any special meaning and it wasn’t even really unique to Wanda. Funny shaped headgear with graphic silhouettes were very popular in the Silver and Bronze Ages, which I think was largely due to Jack Kirby. There are a lot of female characters, specifically, who wear these weird, face-framing crown thingies, but for whatever reason, over the decades Wanda’s has become the most iconic– but nobody ascribed it any real meaning to int until the 2015 Scarlet Witch series. Nowadays, being the “Scarlet Witch” is a legacy title that’s been passed down Wanda’s family for generations, and the headpiece is basically their emblem.

In Trial of Magneto, Werneck designed a magical crest based on the headpiece. I thought that was a neat idea, so I made different versions for each of the Maximoffs, and I did incorporate the lightning bolt into Pietro and Tommy’s, as well as moons for Luna’s.

It is often decorated with various Halloween-themed accents such as spider webs, bats, or even a small broomstick. The combination of the glowing pumpkin and the witch hat creates a striking and magical effect that instantly brings to mind the spirit of Halloween. This decoration is commonly used as a centerpiece for Halloween parties, displayed on mantels, or placed outside to greet trick-or-treaters. It adds a playful and enchanting element to any Halloween-themed setting. In recent years, light-up pumpkins with witch hats have become widely available for purchase in stores and online. They come in various sizes and styles, allowing individuals to choose the one that best fits their personal taste and Halloween decor. Some light-up pumpkins are designed to change colors or have additional features such as sound effects or motion sensors. Whether used as a standalone decoration or combined with other Halloween-themed items, a light-up pumpkin with a witch hat is a fun and festive way to embrace the spirit of Halloween. With its glowing presence and whimsical design, it adds a touch of magic to any space and creates a memorable visual experience for all who encounter it..

Reviews for "Spooktacular DIY Project: Light-Up Pumpkin and Witch Hat Combo"

1. Laura - 1 star - I was extremely disappointed with the "Light up pumpkin with witch hat". The quality of the product was very poor. The material felt cheap and flimsy, and the lights were barely visible. Additionally, the witch hat was not securely attached to the pumpkin and kept falling off. Overall, it was a complete waste of money and I would not recommend it to anyone.

2. Mark - 2 stars - The "Light up pumpkin with witch hat" was not what I expected. The lights were not bright enough to make much of an impact, especially in a well-lit area. The design of the pumpkin was also not very appealing, as it looked more cartoonish than spooky. The witch hat was also poorly made and did not stay in place on top of the pumpkin. I think there are better options available for Halloween decorations.

3. Sarah - 2 stars - I purchased the "Light up pumpkin with witch hat" for my outdoor Halloween display, but I was quite disappointed with it. The lights were not very vibrant and did not provide the desired effect. The size of the pumpkin was also smaller than I expected, making it somewhat underwhelming. The witch hat did not stay in place and constantly required readjustment. Overall, I would not recommend this product as there are better options out there for Halloween décor.
