🎃 About the Pattern
This fun Halloween sewing project includes both the 12" plush cauldron and the 8" stitched severed hand, which fits perfectly inside to create a frightfully fun centerpiece. The hand looks like it’s clawing its way out of the cauldron, making it a great companion to your other spooky plush creations — think potion bottles, ghosts, or even a severed finger or two. 🩸
Designed for fleece or felt fabrics, the pattern is beginner-friendly, making it a great weekend project for anyone ready to try something a little eerie!

Black felt (for the cauldron) – Shop felt fabric here
Gray felt (for the hand) – Get it here

Sewing machine or hand sewing needle
Optional: small baggie of poly pellets or rice to add weight to the cauldron base
🕸️ Step Into the Cauldron
You’ll start by sewing the cauldron base and its adorable three stubby “feet.” The hand is made separately — complete with stitched seams and bendy fingers (you can even insert a little craft wire if you want a poseable touch). The hand is attached to the cauldron base as one of the final steps in creating the cauldron.
Want a more “freshly stitched” look? Try using visible black embroidery thread for the seam lines. It’s a small detail that adds big Halloween charm.
💀 Creative Add-Ons
If you’ve got a flair for the dramatic (and we know you do 😈), here are a few frightfully fun ideas to make it your own:
Add green tulle or mesh around the opening to look like bubbling potion foam
Stitch on felt eyeballs or bugs to the cauldron’s edge
Use glow-in-the-dark thread for a magical midnight look
Add a witch hat resting at the base for an extra Halloween touch
