DIY Salem Witch’s Box of Secrets Kit (Unfinished)

A Rooster Cottage Original

Step into the mysterious world of old Salem with this enchanting DIY Halloween keepsake!

Inspired by antique witchcraft curiosities and treasures from another century, Salem Witch’s Box of Secrets is a charming miniature collection tucked inside a little metal keepsake tin.

Perfect for creating a one-of-a-kind Halloween surprise for someone special! Whether it’s for a child, grandchild, or someone who loves vintage Halloween, this delightful little box is something to treasure and display year after year.

The centerpiece is an intricately detailed, 3D-printed witch flying on her broom, surrounded by ornate scrolling branches and Gothic-inspired flourishes.

Inside awaits a collection of miniature witch’s belongings, nestled in aged muslin beneath an antique-inspired spell list.

What makes this kit especially special? Every miniature finding has already been individually hand-aged, giving each piece an authentic, timeworn appearance. All that’s left for you to do is bring the tin and decorative witch plaque to life with your favorite painting and antiquing techniques!

APPROXIMATE FINISHED SIZE

3.75” Wide × 2.45” Deep × 0.9” High

The ornate witch plaque is designed to fit the tin’s lid, with a decorative crest extending slightly beyond the upper edge.

PAINTING & FINISHING

The metal tin and 3D-printed witch plaque arrive black and unfinished, allowing you to create your own unique antique-inspired finish.

Paint, dry-brush, distress, glaze, or embellish using your favorite decorative techniques.

For my finished sample, I used aged metallic finishes, walnut-toned antiquing, subtle rust effects, and a matte protective clear coat to achieve the appearance of a treasured antique more than a century old.

My Painting Recommendation: I recommend applying a light coat of Krylon Clear Matte Protective Spray to the 3D-printed plaque before decorative painting. Once dry, try highlighting the raised details with antique gold, aged silver, or bronze metallic paint. A little antiquing glaze can beautifully enhance the intricate scrollwork.

Once your finishes have dried and cured, attach the plaque to the tin lid with a suitable adhesive, decoupage the included spell list inside the lid, and arrange your miniature treasures inside.

The completed sample shown is for inspiration. Your finished creation can be as beautifully aged, mysterious, or whimsical as you wish!
