WITCH WISDOM

So dust off your brooms, drag out your potion books and cauldrons, + let's get started!

SARCASTIC WITCH HOUSE

Using a wood house, I created this fun, light up witch house. 

I stained it in black wood stain, then distressed it. black ground on the house peaks

A gold witch portrait that I aged, on the top

Cheesecloth for smoke and inside the house

Snarky verses glued inside the back wall. I attached fairy lights to the inside roof

Witch Agnes + Witch Minerva overlooks the house. always with a snarky quote

You can find the witches here
