In the modern world, despite the high technology, there are still various signs, customs and amulets that are preserved and passed down to us from our ancestors. Most of them can be bought at high prices in some specialty stores, which is completely pointless!
We offer you an alternative solution to make an amulet for success with your own hands from improvised means! It won't take long, but it will definitely give you enough pleasure and enjoyment.
Originally from the past
Before we tell you how to make an amulet for success with your own hands, we will briefly tell you its story. And we will talk about amulet dolls that were popular among our ancestors.
They usually took care of women, mistresses, and firefighters. For success, such an amulet had to be carefully kept in a secluded place so that no one would bother him or make him angry.
Since the common people are not particularly famous for their great wealth, the doll is made of improvised materials, scraps, fabric scraps, straw and wood. The amulet for good luck can even be passed down from generation to generation, but if you don't have it, we can easily make it ourselves!
Little by little from the master
Check your boxes to find material for this craft, because there is definitely something in them. So you will not only use the ornaments, but also make an amulet for chance and money with your own hands.
What do you need:
- Mouline handle. It is better to take red or white colors that combine well with folk style. We will need less than half, so you can use the decorations.
- Pieces of different fabrics. Natural options are preferred because they are easier to work with because of their paper-like or cardboard-like properties.
- Linen fiber. Thanks to its texture we will use it to create hair; and you can buy natural products from any store.
- Scissors.
The first master class: doll-bereginya
- We create a column of any length and width by tying the white linen fabric with a rope in three places. This will be the body for the future amulet.
- Cut a large square from the same piece and fold it into a triangle at one of the ends, creating a silhouette of the head and arms. We make everything with a red or white rope.
- We separate the palms of the "wings" with a rope and make a belt in the same way.
- We make a shirt from a bright cotton fabric, cut it according to its shape and make it with threads in the same way. It is important to note that an amulet is created with your own hands without needles and, of course, glue. Such materials are not welcomed here, because they take our mascot away from their ancestors.
- You can also decorate the shirt with bright ribbons with ornaments, lace or beads, but do not overdo it, because it is primarily a folk doll.
- For the skirt, we cut a large circle with a slot in the center, put it on the amulet, and then tied it with a rope on the wrong side. It can be decorated with ribbons, beads, flowers or embroidery as you wish.
- Now we take the canvas, separate it with a rope in the center, straighten the hair on the head with it, carefully hide the knots.
- With the addition of ribbons, we knit a knit, create a scarf from a piece of triangle and tie the ends around the neck in several turns.
- We put different grains, seeds and greens on a separate piece, put coins and tie a knot in the doll's hand with a rope. It symbolizes prosperity, wealth and good luck at home, this ready-made amulet will definitely bring you!
For any event
How to make an amulet for good luck that fits inside a palm, but at the same time not to lose it - of course, make bags with different herbs that will bring happiness, prosperity and wealth to your home.
As you probably know, our ancestors paid great attention to various herbs and berries and gave them various magical properties. And we couldn't think of anything better than taking the plants, drying them, and then putting them in small bags that were so easy to spread around the house!
From everything and everything
We will not be late and immediately begin to tell you what herbs can be used to make an amulet to bring good luck in your home.
We will describe only the most suitable ones that are easy to find for each of us:
- The maple is the guardian of the hearth and women's happiness.
- Elderberry is a magical, healing power.
- Elm - intelligence and wisdom.
- Oak - knowledge.
- Spruce - longevity and health.
- Willow - protection from damage and the evil eye.
- Clover succeeds.
- Nettle, linden, fern, thistle, wormwood, mountain ash, sage, hops and celandine - these are just a few of the plants that are suitable for us to create an amulet for good luck and wealth at home.
Second master class: bag of happiness
You will need to prepare in advance for such a product, and it is best if it is in the summer. This season, all plants are at a level that combines both beauty and natural fragrance. So collect all the herbs you need and dry them in the sun. This is the fastest and easiest way to get the necessary materials for work in a few days.
When the plants are dry, we make small bags with sacks. They can also be decorated with ribbons, embroidery or buttons. We take red yarn for the wires.
When all the ingredients are ready, fill the bags with herbs. You can do this until the end so that it is not difficult to close later, or, conversely, you can fill it so that the dried flowers are visible from above. We make everything with our hands and ropes, without the help of glue, and then we put the bags home so that the amulet will definitely work for good luck!
Taste and color
If you do not like the previous two options, then we offer another alternative - a wooden amulet for good luck!
Its essence is that it can be made not only as a pendant, but also as a brooch, ring or keychain. It is also great that the product is environmentally friendly, because we will avoid the use of various chemicals, such as varnishes. If necessary, we will replace them with coloring oils.
All you need for production is a small thin piece of wood, a burning apparatus, sketches and sketches, and accessories for subsequent use.
Third master class: wooden amulet for good luck and money
Place the piece of wood in the desired shape with a file and then gently sand the edges to remove sharp chips or chips. Also, make holes for the fittings in advance.
Apply pencil drawing to one side, then heat the oven, then add depth and color to the drawing. Add some details and inscriptions, allow the product to cool.
For durability, treat the wooden surface with a special oil or replace it with linseed oil. This will not only add color, but also make the amulet waterproof.
After absorbing the oil, the accessory can be securely attached to a face, such as a hanger, and attached to the base for rings, brooches, or anything else. You can put it like this, for example, in the hidden pocket of the bag you are traveling in. So luck and happiness will always be with you!
Sound for sleep
The next idea is great not only for those who want to buy an amulet for good luck, but also for those who want to decorate the interior of their room. We are talking about a fairly popular dream catcher, which goes on for a very long time.
It is likely that its first creators were the Indians, who made talismans and hung them over the head of a sleeping man to catch bad dreams and nightmares. Today we will create such a stylish amulet:
- Take a ring of any diameter, depending on the desired size of the dream holder, and wrap it with string or ribbon along its entire length. There should be no gaps between them so that the base is not visible.
- As soon as the ring is ready, we begin to weave a cobweb, adding sequins, beads and various decorations.
- Thus, circle by circle, we fill the "inside" of the sleeper by obtaining a weave resembling a spider's web. When finished, carefully tie and hide the rope.
- Now is the time to decorate the amulet for a quiet and peaceful sleep. This can be done with feathers attached directly to the knitting threads or suspended by the threads at the edge of the ring. There you can also add large beads, ribbons and everything you can find in stock. Even the shells can be great to decorate the whole picture.
- All you have to do is create a curve where you can hang the sleeper on the head of your bed to make your dreams just kind and bright!
Additional ideas
Of course, amulets for success do not end with what we have listed for you. So, there are more interesting options for you:
- Red rope. As you probably already know, charm is becoming more and more popular, like an ordinary red rope once wrapped around the wrist. Such an accessory can be easily recreated at home and, for example, can be decorated with individual pendants or beads.
- Home call. Another easy-to-make amulet is a small bell decorated with ribbons and pieces. It symbolizes cleanliness and goodness in your home, and the front door often becomes its living space. The rich man himself can be covered with gold or silver paint, which will add beauty to it.
- Horseshoe. This option is very popular and is easy to buy at any home repair store. But it's also easy to do it yourself, because you just need to find a base in the form of a horseshoe and then add all your available resources to it. This list includes not only dried flowers, seeds, grains, fabrics, ribbons, but also coins. You can also often see a variety of bagels, sweets and fruits made of polymer clay in the horseshoe!
From all of the above, we can conclude that an amulet for success is made of any material in hand. It does not take more than an hour, but the process itself brings home not only pleasure, but also happiness with wealth!
