DIY Hocus Pocus Spell Book | TWO Simple Methods
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 сер 2024
- It's just a bunch of Hocus Pocus! To celebrate the return of Hocus Pocus 2 this Halloween, I made Winifred's Spell Book, bound in human skin and containing her most evil spells.
This project was an absolute scream to do! Just a joy! I created two simple methods that anyone can recreate. The clay method will require a little time investment, but it is still easy to make. And the hot glue method is almost TOO easy. It would be a super fun project for kids.
I hope you give this project a try and have a blast doing it! If you make it, please use the hashtag #LenaMichelleDIY on social media so that I can see your creations.

🙌🏼 I love Winnie too!! Happy Halloween to you! ✨🧹🐈⬛🎃
Binkx and Billy are the mine even though Binx wasn't in part 2
Such great characters!! 🤩 Love both of those too!
You are very welcome
Absolutely LOVE this tutorial. I followed it to the letter and it turned out great! The only issue I ran into was the book I used was white. I had to do several washes of paint before the last layer of tissue paper bc I had to hide the bright red lettering on my white book. If I had painted it with just a single layer of brown before hand I could have avoided the stress of painting over my tissue paper without destroying it. Not a major deal in the end as it turned out great but jist something I would have done differently if it had occurred to me! Thank you for the great tutorial!!!
Thank you so much for sharing and for your kind words!! ✨🎃 I'm so happy you enjoyed the tutorial and that it worked well for you! 🙌🏼 I didn't think of the potential scenario with a white book, but you handled the challenge beautifully! Well done! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👊🏼😁

Fab! New subscriber from England 🇬🇧
Hello to you in England! 🥰🇬🇧 Thanks so much for hanging out with me. My deepest condolences for the loss of the queen. She was a wonderful lady. Have a gorgeous day! ✨🤗
@@lenamichellejames aww thank you,she was amazing x this is one of the best tutorials I've seen,so I definitely want to try it!
@@Julie-si3hi She really was!! The world just felt more stable with her in it. Thank you for the kind words! 🥰 Have so much fun making it, and I'd love to see your lovely work when you're done! 😄
Such a great tutorial. I was a little intimidated at first but love your positivity & focusing more on enjoying the DIY, making it your own. Thank you
Thanks so much! ✨🙏🏼 I would be so happy if my video helped you find the courage to try it! Don't be nervous 💛 You can absolutely do it! 👊🏼😄
I’m making this for my daughter’s Halloween themed baby shower ! I put baby pictures of her and her husband inside the pages
It came out sooo well
Thanks for the tutorial
This makes me so happy!!!! 🤩 I'm sure your book is gorgeous and so special ✨🤗 What a cool baby shower. Thanks for sharing and congrats to you and your family on the new addition!! ✨🐈⬛🎃🧹
If I figure out how to send you a picture I will. Lol
I'm not at all artistic, but decided to make this into a jewelry box to get use out of it. 🥰 I ordered coiled snaked jewelry from Temu for a couple bucks and they have other snake jewelry like a bracelet that I'm going to try to use going up the spine. I'm watching all you creative people that make these videos so I know how to do the rest and where to place everything 😃 I just thought it would be cool to have the eye watching out for my jewelry 😉👁
For not being artistic, those are some phenomenal, artistic ideas! I love it!! How did it turn out? I always challenge people who believe they are not artistic. Everyone can be! And the more you practice letting your creativity fly, the easier it will come. I think you have an artist in you that's eager to get out. Have so much fun and thanks for sharing your ideas!!
Winnie and Thachary Binxs my favorite Hocus Pocus characters. And this year in honor of the second Hocus Pocus movie I've decided to dress up as Winnie along with the two other sisters with two other family members and I am definitely going to make the spell book and I already have my black cat that I will be taking with me so I am really excited to try this
Those are GREAT characters!! Have so much fun this Halloween! Share your creation with me on Insta when you finish! 🎃🐈⬛
I LOVE this! I am having a Hocus Pocus 2 screening party for my daughter and her friends and I am making this! I already made the black flame candle and Binx run over by the bus!
That's amazing!!!! 🤩🤩 That sounds so fun!! She's lucky to have a cool Mom ✨🎃🐈⬛🧹 I can't wait for the release!
Could you please make me one I’ll pay good lol great job
That is such a kind compliment!! ✨🙏🏼🤗 Thanks so much! I wish I had the time and energy to do commissions, lol. 😅 I like to start busy in my garden and with my photography.
New subscriber! You did an awesome job!
Thanks so much for hanging out with me, and for your kind words 💛 Have a gorgeous day! ✨🤗
lovely, i love the hocus pocus movie the first one. the second on is not my cup of tea due... they always change from the formula. they seem to be doing that these days.
Thanks so much! ✨🤗 It is hard to see the things we love so much change. Naturally, there are things I would choose to do differently in the second movie, but I'm happy they tried and that the ladies worked so hard on it 💛 I'm trying to enjoy it as it's own work. Happy Halloween! ✨🐈⬛🧹🎃
Oh my goodness sweetie this is amazing!!!! Hi by the way!! New friend from Kentucky to your channel. I swear your channel needs more me more subs because they are well deserved that’s for sure. You are so crafty an inspiration to me. Hope to see you my way sometime.
Thank you so much for the support and kind words! ✨🙏🏼🥰 And a very warm hello to Kentucky! ☺️ I'm so glad you liked the video! I hope you try this project! I love your channel 🤗 I subbed. Happy and safe Halloween to you ✨🧹🐈⬛🎃
Can you do the beauty and the beast enchanted rose 🌹
🤩🤩🤩 Oooo, that is a great idea!!! 🤗 I'll have to give that some thought. Thanks so much for the request! 🥀
I watched a lot of different tutorials on how to make this book and while I incorporated other methods too, I mostly followed your tutorial. So good! I posted the hashtag on Instagram and TikTok. Thank you so much for sharing this!
Thank you so much for letting me know and tagging me so I could admire your work! 🤗🤩 Your book is so gorgeous!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Happy Halloween! 🎃
Madam a bit of input if I may . Magnets to move the eye and to use on the locks to keep the book shut would be a good idea .
Those are great ideas!! Thank you! I wish I had thought of that. If you give it a try, let me know how it turns out! 🤗
Really enjoyed this! Your project and voice over was absolutely perfect and very well done! New subscriber!
Thanks so much for hanging out and for your kind words, Carla! ✨🙏🏼🤗 Have a gorgeous day!
Where did ou get that eyeball? Funny it moves great idea!
Hey! I got it from Amazon. The link is in the description 🤗 I love that it moved temporarily! I wish I could have figured out how to do it animatronically, lol.
@@lenamichellejames Looks like I need to clean my eyeballs cause I looked in description b4 I asked and didn't see it, thanks! 😬🤭 now I see it! LOL
I saw someone used a googlie eye behind the eye to make it move around, but yours looks more realistic than anyone else's. Most people use the ping pong ball kind. Is there a way to use the eye you did with a googlie eye on the back or something? I think the other lady printed out an eye 🤔 You two did it differently and look cool, I'd like to combine idea's 🤗
That's a great idea!! I'd love to see if you try it!
Wow you did such a brilliant job!!! New subscriber, hi from Ireland 👋 Absolutely love the details of it especially the stitching, time consuming but so authentic!! I've been wanting to make 1 of these books for the past 2 years - got a massive book and all but seeing yours I'm definitely going to have to pull out my things and get going at it. Overall did it take you long?
Thanks so much! ✨🙏🏼🥰 And a very warm hello to Ireland!! ☺️ It was a really fun project! Overall, it took me 5 hours, not including the time needed for filming efforts. That slowed things down 😅 And some of that 5 hours was spent waiting for paint, clay, and glue to dry. Do it!! I'm sure it'll be amazing, and you'll love having it afterwards! Happy and safe Halloween to you! ✨🧹🐈⬛🎃
💓💓💓💓💓
🧡🖤🧡🖤🧡
I loved your video, but I do have a question I have one of those "fake " books (it has like a storage inside) I got it in the Halloween area What I wanted to ask was if I could use a book like this to do the Hocus Pocus book like you made? Thank you again for sharing this 🙂
Thanks so much!! ✨🙏🏼 That's a good question! I think it would work. I can't imagine why it wouldn't. I would just be sure to apply that first layer of modge and tissue paper so that the clay adheres well. I'm excited for you to try it! I'd love to see it! 🤗
@@lenamichellejames Thank you, I hope your right 🙂
How does the clay dry for the stitching?
Hi there! I use air dry clay. So it dries very quickly, and it's very sturdy.
Where did you get the eye from x
Hello ✨🤗 I got it from Amazon. The link is in the description. Thanks!
I wonder if you could put false eyelashes on the eyeball? Too much?? I just watched another channel do a book with an eyeball. Wicked makers I think??
That's an amazing idea!!!! I wish I had thought of it!! 🤩 If you make it, you should totally put lashes on! 🖤
@@lenamichellejames haha. I wasn't sure if the eyeball was human sized or not, I guess if it's larger you could cut up a pair and make them cover more territory. They'd probably get banged up though. The scale in videos isn't always obvious to the viewer
Have you say I love Winnie!!
I love her too!! 🤩🤗
