  • Apply Pressure Evenly: Apply even pressure when squeegeeing the Chalkology Paste to ensure a clean transfer.
  • Seal Your Designs: Seal your designs with a clear sealant for added durability, especially for outdoor projects.

Embrace Spring with Chalk Couture's Elegance:

Chalk Couture offers a sophisticated and effortless way to add a touch of spring beauty to your home. With its reusable transfers and vibrant Chalkology Paste, you can create stunning projects that will impress your guests and brighten your space.

My Hocus Pocus Hutch in 2024 // Come check it out!

A Magical Hocus Pocus Hutch Transformation

Halloween is just around the corner, and I'm so excited to share my spooky transformation of my hutch into a Hocus Pocus-inspired display!

I've always loved the Sanderson Sisters and their quirky, witchy charm. So, when I started planning my Halloween decor, I knew I had to incorporate them into my hutch.


Here's are some ideas on how to achieved this magical look:

1. The Sanderson Sisters:

  • Miniature Figures: I found adorable miniature figures of the Sanderson Sisters from Funko Pop Collection- I bought these from Marshalls this year. 

2. Potions:

  • Potion Bottles: I found these various glass bottles and they were filled them with colorful liquids and glitter.

3. Halloween Decor:

  • Black Cats: Add a few black cat figurines and a plush cat to the display.
  • Candles: You can use a variety of candles, including tall tapers and small tea lights.
  • Pumpkins: Placed a few small pumpkins, both real and faux, around the hutch.

4. The Finishing Touches:

  • Halloween Garland: Draped a black and orange garland around the hutch.
  • Spooky Music: I played spooky music softly in the background to create a truly eerie atmospher

If you're a fan of the Sanderson Sisters and their wickedly fun antics, you'll love how I've incorporated their iconic elements into this display.

Here's a breakdown of what you'll find on my enchanted hutch:

Top Shelf:

  • Funko Pop Sanderson Sisters set- they are singing on the stage: I couldn't resist adding these adorable figurines to the top shelf. They're the perfect touch of whimsy. I found adorable Funko Pop of the Sanderson Sisters from Marshalls this year. 
  • Hocus Pocus Rae Dunn Mug: A must-have for any fan of the movie!
  • 2 Rae Dunn Mixing Bowls - Smaller bowl says Hocus Pocus, bigger bowl says Trick or Treat: Can be used for passing out candy too!
  • Black Cauldron Hocus Pocus from Rae Dunn: This cauldron is the perfect vessel for brewing up some spooky potions.
  • Halloween-themed Decor: Pumpkins, bats, and other spooky decorations add to the festive atmosphere. The orange block with the black pumpkin was made by me with my Glowforge last year. The small pumpkin cup next to the Cauldron is from Johanna Parker- I can't remember where I got it from. 
  • Hocus Pocus Banner: This banner is a fun and easy way to add some Halloween cheer to your home. I made this with the Chalk Couture Transfer Happy Haunting and Witches Watching and a clearance banner kit from walmart. 
  • Hocus Pocus Mugs: I've collected a variety of Hocus Pocus mugs over the years, and they're always a hit with guests.
  • Halloween-themed Mugs: I've also included some other Halloween-themed mugs to add to the collection.



Overall, I'm thrilled with how my Hocus Pocus hutch turned out! It's the perfect way to celebrate Halloween and show my love for the Sanderson Sisters.


If you're looking for some inspiration for your own Halloween decor, I hope this post has given you some ideas.


I hope you love my Hocus Pocus hutch as much as I do! It's the perfect addition to my Halloween decor.

Happy Haunting!

DIY XOXO Canister // Make your own Valentines Day Decor! // Come chalk with me!


 

I love shopping for new holiday decor items, but sometimes storing all these new great items is a pain! All my totes almost (if not) already full and I'm pretty sure my husband doesn't want me to get anymore totes! So I decided to take an item I already have and use it. I have a Rae Dunn Christmas Canister that is blank on the back, so I decided to use this. This is perfect since it is pottery and has a shiny finish. Easy to remove when I want to change it out or put in away with the Christmas decor. 

Come see me create a new XOXO Valentines Day Canister!


Step 1. 1st, I grabbed all my supplies - Hugs and Kisses XOXO Transfer,  Chalk Paste in Candy Apple, Fuzzing Cloth, mini squeegee and my Rae Dunn Canister. 

Step 2. Time to cut out the transfer that you want to use. 

Step 3. Grab that Fuzzing Cloth and fuzz, fuzz, fuzz that transfer! 

Step 4. Time to place the transfer on the Canister. They nice thing is these new transfers are more see-through so it is easy to place on the surface. Also, you can take the transfer off and re-apply if you don't like the placement.

Step 5. Grab the Candy Apple Chalk Paste and give it a stir. Then it's time to chalk! Take a small amount and rub it all over the transfer. The best part is that you can take the excess chalk and put it back into the container. 

Step 6. Remove the transfer slowly and clean it right away. This helps from discoloration. Even if does get discolored, it doesn't harm it... it will still be sticky and work. I just like my transfer to still look pretty. Stir you chalk paste one more time an put the lid back on tight. I always soak my stir sticks and squeegees in warm soapy water. 

Now it's time to enjoy my new Valentines XOXO Canister!
