Thanks to Agatha All Along on Disney+, many people are currently in their witchy era (just us?), and this hack is a great way to put your DIY skills to the test! But don't worry, it's not mind-bendingly difficult.

One Facebook user has created an amazing decoration using a cauldron that looks like a Jack-O'-lantern from TK Maxx, and a $1.75 Wooden Spoon and $6 Table Top Disco Light from Kmart. By gluing the spoon to the light, which moves in a circle, it gives the effect of a cauldron that's being stirred by magic.

"I made this from a total of $7.75 @Kmart," the user shared. "Just hot glue the spoon to the ball."

They added, "I heated a knife and made a groove into the disco ball the width of the spoon, then hot glued the spoon."

For someone who is not very DIY-savvy, this sounds easy enough!

Other Kmart shoppers were fans of the hack, with many describing it as "very clever".

"That is so freaking cool," one person said, while another added, "This is sick! What a great idea!"

"I need it," a third said, with a fourth saying, "How clever are you!"

"This is genius! Thanks for sharing," yet another said.

While this DIY project was created using a pumpkinf from TK Maxx, if you wanted to get the whole lot from Kmart, you could grab their $25 Animated Mist Cauldron. However, you probably don't want to mix water with the Disco Light so that is something to keep in mind.
