  • 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.

    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!!!

    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!!

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.

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 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 🤗
