DIY Hocus Pocus Mirror

September 19, 2018~ Cricut, DIY and craft projects, Halloween

It’s just a bunch of hocus pocus! It’s also time to get your witching Halloween essentials in order, and since fall is one big prelude to the spookiest night of the year, I thought I’d start introducing some witching content a bit earlier this year. You saw my DIY Hocus Pocus Mirror in my magical fall dining room , but here’s the DIY for it!

Hocus Pocus has always been near the top of my childhood Halloween movie list. I say it every year, but fall & halloween are my fave time of the year, so anything that puts me in the mood for those is good in my books.

Movies, knick knacks, excuses to wear a witch hat – I’m here for all of them. What about you?

How to DIY a Hocus Pocus Mirror

You could use any old mirror lying around, in fact, you can just make the vinyl decal to apply to something you’ve got up. In my case, when I swapped the mirrors in the bathroom at our new home, this big one came down. I didn’t want to get rid of it just yet, and I’m glad I didn’t because it found its way to this project!

Surprisingly, not much! Just a Cricut Explore Air™ 2 machine, a cutting mat, rose gold vinyl, and a mirror! Oh, and Cricut Access (Standard) for the image files.

How to DIY the Hocus Pocus decal

Normally I make my own cut files, but this time I found the entirety of my files for this cut list within the Design Space because I have Cricut Access! You can see the entire project // here //.

You’ll start by re-sizing the images for your mirror within the Cricut Design Space™, and then hitting “go.” Obviously you’ve got to cut the vinyl for the mat, apply it, and get your machine set-up, but that takes a whole minute to do.

Feed your vinyl into the machine, hit “go” and watch it cut. Once the cuts are done, weed your designs and prepare to apply them.

Applying your DIY Hocus Pocus decal to the mirror

You can apply the hocus pocus decal to the mirror any way you’d like, but I wanted mine to be sort of centered. I used masking tape to mark the centre of the mirror.

Using transfer tape, I transferred over the text, then the witch, then the stars.

Once you’ve got everything on the mirror, don’t forget to wipe it clean from all your fingerprints! My mirror was covered in them, so I gave it a good clean.

Displaying your DIY Hocus Pocus Mirror

You can put yours anywhere. You could even incorporate it into a DIY Witch Silhouette gallery wall, add it to your dining room for a magical space, or add it to your Wes Anderson inspired entryway console.

I added mine to the later, and incorporated a giant velvet curtain from Roostery. Did you know that you can buy curtains from them now? I chose this darling moon phase print (the Plymouth)by Nadia Hassan, and it shipped within a few days! I wanted more of an impact in my studio entryway for fall/halloween, and the curtain + mirror combo definitely does that.

You can see two things in this detail shot below: that no matter how hard we tried to cover all the yellow when we painted, some still came through. And two, my super cool cat wreath from Michaels! I love the cat’s grin, his colouring and styling. He has officially joined my Halloween decor posse.

    This is awesome! I just tried to access the design space project for this tutorial and a few of your others and it is listed as ‘private’? Is there any way you can make them public? Thanks

This living room has been so many things to us sin This living room has been so many things to us since we moved in (including the distinction of being the first space we made over, and over). It’s also been a space that evolved with us as our needs changed. And now, while we plan what the next one will look like, I wonder if it’ll have a marble fireplace... probably not.

My boo @tmoorehome has been sharing and uplifting My boo @tmoorehome has been sharing and uplifting people around her for years. It’s one of the many reasons we’re real life friends. Her design is clean, bold, and evolves with each house they make a home. If you know exactly who you are and what you’re about, she is one very worthwhile follow. Her meme game is pretty strong too.

We use it to make blanket forts, set obstacle courses, entertain Tina 🐓 , and just hang out on it. It’s kinda the perfect toddler toy.

I know you all love colour as much as I do, so whe I know you all love colour as much as I do, so when I asked @itscarlabethany if I could share a few frames of her home with you guys, I knew it would be a perfect fit. We’ve both got a few of the same pieces, and we both love bold textiles and wallpaper. She’s got her own spin on them, and the cutest sidekick in town - Maybeline (swipe to see). Do yourself a favour and go give her a follow!
