#charm making

The charm has a little 1 in shaker star on it, that for reasons i cannot comprehend, now has a fine layer of dust over everything inside? its just clear plastic with beads in (no liquid!!) joined w superglue and sealed w an acrylic sealant that hasnt had this problem on ANYTHINGGG. my guess is the glue since it came out of the junk drawer.

the quilt! is a 3-yarder following a diamond in a square pattern, i got all the fabric and thread 2nd hand, the batting is recycled cotton from a local shop. its the first quilt ive ever made, and the goal is Finished not Good, so its uh. messy! but cute!! in the photo id Just finished thread basting the 3 layers together, next up is Actual Quilting. wish my entry model brother machine luck 🍀

Items used/needed:

A bit of cloth, in whatever color you associate most strongly with wealth. I used green because it’s classic and because I happened to have some green fabric laying around. I recommend cutting out a square that’s about 2″x2″ (5.08cmx5.08cm)

Thread, again use your personal correspondence. Pictured here is a lovely silvery green I found in the sewing kit.

A dime (any coin will do, we just happened to have a lot of dimes laying around.)

Herbs associated with wealth. I used mint, chamomile, and basil, all of which have money drawing properties (and smell great when mixed together)

Optional: I added a small bit of onion skin, onto which I drew a little $ just for a little extra kick. (My husband is Hungarian/Romanian so we usually have a lot of onions on hand.)

To make the charm! Note: Be sure to keep in mind why you’re making this as you construct it. Focus on your intentions. Also, be safe with needles. They hurt.

Cleanse your materials, if necessary, and then take a few minutes to charge them with your intent. 

Fold your fabric in half (if it’s in a square already, like mine was. If not, a little extra stitching will be required.) Sew up all but one side, to make a pocket. You’ll notice it looks like a tiny wallet already! 

Place the dime and the onion skin (if applicable) into the pocket, and then add in a pinch each of the herbs you’re using. 

Sew up the remaining edge to seal it all in!

Fight the cat when he tries to steal your charm because it smells nice

Et voilà! You have your very own money charm. Mine is going in my wallet, and I also made a second one to go in my husband’s wallet, but again, it can be placed anywhere you need to increase money. Coin purses, tills, what have you. Thanks for reading, and happy witching!
