Decided to start making a filet crochet bandana in honour of Apollo for the eclipse so here's my pattern, I'll share the finished product once it's done
Keep in mind it's a but squished because I'm using doubt crochets so it'll end up taller than thos
I'm pretty happy with how these ladies turned out! It was amazing to give the candlestick holders new life this way while doing something fun and creative as devotion for my deities.
To make it, I got some white elastic string and wrapped it around a keychain ring. I made sure to get it into a star formation. (You’re going to have to go above and under the ring) Once I was done, I knotted it at the top.
It can be a bit tricky, but it can be done.
Then I got a long necklace chain and looped it into the part with the knott.
Tada, you got a pentacle necklace.
I also made a singular pentacle too.
You could wear it as a necklace, maybe even a bracelet during spellwork, or use it as a bookmark for witchy books if you attach it to a singular string. You could also place it on your altar.
The results are dependent on what you want to do with it.
Okay, I really tried to make those cute resin shaker charms, but I could not get them to STOP leaking! So I said "Fuck that." And decided to try decorating some glass potion bottles, from the dollar store, in some polymer clay I have too much of.
The next video will be filling up the potion bottles!
Hello lovelies! I wanted to share a little project I’m working on. My mom gave me these big bowls that used to hold candles! We cleaned them out and then I painted one hot pink and one lavender. I drew some symbols on the outside and sealed each bowl with this iridescent paint topcoat! Now I’m wondering if I should paint some flowers 🌸 and other cutesy things cause they seem a bit plain. I’m planning on using them for offering bowls to God and Goddess, and whatever else I see fit lol! We shall see! Highly recommend reusing candle containers tho!
