How to Make an Elven Amulet

amuletbSince we’ve gotten a lot a questions about making amulets, we decided that maybe a post on the subject would be in order.

Making an amulet can be as simple or as complicated a process as you want it to be so I have included a few options for you to consider.

Since we have already discussed what amulets are here, I won’t go over it again.  Instead, we can move right along to making different types of amulets.

HERBAL AMULETS–An herbal amulet, as the name suggests, is an amulet which is made of, or includes herbs. A simple way to make one is by following the steps below:

1)  Decide how big you want your amulet to be. Finished size of the amulet we are making here is about 1 1/2″  square so all the directions will be for this size but you can make it any size you want.

2)  Transfer or paint your design on a 2″ x 4″ piece of felt or other suitable fabric. Make sure your actual symbol is on the bottom half as below: amulet1

3) Fold fabric in half, right sides together, and sew two sides as shown. You can use a sewing machine or you can hand sew it, it really doesn’t matter. Turn the sewn amulet, right side out.

4) Decide what kind of cord you want and attach it to the amulet. Of course, there are other ways to attach the cord and you can do it however you want but here’s how we do it:

amulet3_cord

Decide how long you want your neck cord to be and then thread a large needle with the right length of fine leather cord, making a good knot at the end. Going inside the amulet, pull your needle through the top left corner and then take your needle back into the amulet from the top right side as shown.  Remove the needle and tie another knot at that end.  The cord is now attached at both corners from the inside.

5) Fill the amulet with the appropriate herbs. There are different herbal formulas  for different amulets so you need to find out what they are before you fill it up.

6)  Sew up the remaining side by  hand and your amulet is finished!

OTHER TYPES OF AMULETS–

For those who hate to sew, there are other options! You can put a magical symbol on a variety of objects so just use your imagination.  Below we have a some  of the easier methods available to you.

1)  Silver frame method–

This involves  painting or printing the amulet symbol on a piece of paper and then gluing it to a piece of cardboard or wood in this case.  Apply a sealant such as varnish to the symbol, apply glue to the back and insert it into the silver frame (available at a craft store or online).  Simple!

2) Wooden Amulet

Another simple method, this just requires that you print out the design and glue it to a wood piece or paint it on directly.  Again, varnish the symbol, attach a bail (available at craft stores or online) or drill a hole and you are done.

3)  Glass Pendant

This method is a bit more difficult since you need the right materials which can be difficult to find…

Basically, all you need to do is print out or paint your symbol, glue it to the bottom of the glass piece, attach a silver bail and coat the backing.

  6. dianne September 1, 2009 at 9:02 am #

    hi again um.. i made a wooden amulet but i didn’t varnish it, is that ok??
    and is it ok to glue two symbols in a wood piece? one at the back and the other in the front??

  7. admin September 1, 2009 at 11:24 am #

    Hi dianne,

    Sure, it ‘s ok not to varnish it – it will just last longer that way. You can use two symbols on an amulet as long as it is the same symbol.

    hi silence !! hehe

  9. Bri3 September 2, 2009 at 8:12 am #

    I don’t have any herbs. Is the wooden one made so you don’t have to use them?

  10. admin September 2, 2009 at 11:08 am #

    Yes Bri3, that’s exactly right.

    Natalie

  11. Bri3 September 2, 2009 at 8:44 pm #

    Thx I’ll see if I can manage to make one :)

  12. dianne September 3, 2009 at 8:51 am #

    ok.. thanks a lot!! God bless…

  13. Bri3 September 3, 2009 at 6:33 pm #

    Natalie,
    These people on otherkin think that you’re “fluff”. I don’t think you’re fluff. Is it just because of competition? I mean, you’re website being just as good as theirs. People commented saying things like “the elves of fyn are too perfect” or “if we were to respect everything in nature we would respect things such as pollution because…” and so on. They wrote a whole article about it. Maybe you should check it out. :-/

  14. FG September 3, 2009 at 11:24 pm #

    Love this tutorial! Very simple and straightforward. I will definitely try to make a pendant. Another good idea would be a polymer clay pendant.

  15. admin September 4, 2009 at 11:56 pm #

    Hi Bri3,

    Oh yes, I do know about my “friends” at otherkin. I am aware of their opinion but obviously, I don’t share it! :) They seem very unseelie (mean and angry) to me so I don’t really want to give them too much of my time or energy.

    BTW, since when is pollution natural? Go figure…

    Natalie

    PS: It’s nice to know you don’t think we are “fluff!”

  16. admin September 5, 2009 at 12:22 am #

    Hi FG,

    Yes, a polymer pendant would work too. I think I might add some herbs to the clay to offset the “polymer” a just a bit, that could work well.

    Thanks for your nice comments! :)

    Natalie and Susan I know this is way of topic but can I write a book on this world and use your symbols and info or no?
    I was wondering if so could you guys help me?

  20. admin September 12, 2009 at 4:41 pm #

    Hi rocio88,

    I really appreciate you wanting to include our symbols in a book but the elves are very particular about how they are used and I don’t think they/we would be comfortable with that, sorry.

    Natalie

    Navneeta, congratulations– You’re prayers were answered! When I prayed to meet a faery- it was not on my timing, but on our Creator’s timing– when I least expected it . Sounds like that was how it was for you too!

    Your dream inspired me to pray that some Fae’s or Pixies, gnomes, etc, could visit me in my dreams too.

    About that dream of that gnome held in captivity by humans. That may very well be what is happening in reality-

    There is alot we don’t know about what goes on behind the scenes with our World governments. It has been said that there are underground military headquarters and prisons too.

    I am thinking this dream may have been a plea for help by the Faery Realm to you- to pray for this gnome. I am going to pray for him too.

    I have read about an account on some paranormal website of someone who witnessed officials carting off a very small man who looked like a gnome– Who knows, maybe it is this same Gnome for all we know.

    Maybe you had that dream for a reason– pray for him!

  22. Lisa A.- Grey Eyes September 13, 2009 at 9:08 pm #

    Natalie, your site certainly is NOT fluff- Cynical people will think anything positive, uncorrupted , with beauty is fluff– They would rather see diabolical topics of a low vibration.

    Their loss!.

    Hugs
    Lisa Grey Eyes

    Oh and Natalie,
    I want to write a book about fae and i was wondering if i could use some of the imformastion you put on this site? And can i put the symbols that are here in my book to? Its ok if i cant put in the symbols.Please reply soon! I want to put the book i write in the Library!
    Please post!

  32. admin September 26, 2009 at 4:31 pm #

    Hi Gloria,

    Nice to have you here…

    About including our information in your book….I’m sorry, the elves are very particular about this type of thing and they really don’t want the symbols used in that way. Susan and I may put all the information we have gathered into a book some day but they will be closely involved in that process.

    Thanks for asking!

    Natalie

  33. admin September 26, 2009 at 5:09 pm #

    Hi Navneeta!

    Well, you certainly are having some interesting experiences! The thing is, I really can’t interpret them for you – they are trying to tell you something and you are the one who is supposed to figure it all out. Great, eh?

    So, how do you do this? Well after you have the experience and you have a few moments, ask them something like “hey, I see that you are trying to connect with me but I’m confused… what did ____ and ____ mean exactly? Can you tell me in my next dream or just talking to me in my head would be ok too. I would really appreciate that.” Believe it or not, this does work because they see that you are trying to understand what is going on and they will usually respond.

    I don’t know about whether someone on another site has fae friends that know you – could be I suppose… but what they said about having a stronger connection through working at it is definitely true, according to my experience.

    Hmmm, there could be something going on in the fae realm–it does feel a bit weird right now but I think it should be back in balance soon, hopefully.

    Natalie

  34. admin September 26, 2009 at 5:41 pm #

    Hi Lisa,

    Thank you for your very kind comments about the “fluff” characterization we got…I agree completely with what you said. When I read some random posts on their web site, I was surprised to see how much of it was oozing negativity and anger. Wow – it’s sad that there are so many willing to be so hateful – seems very unseelie to me.

    Natalie

  35. Navneeta ray September 27, 2009 at 12:48 pm #

    Hey Natalie THANK U so much 4 replyin :) I’ll defntly try to do wat u advised I hope they’ll be able to connect with me in sum or the other way, I hope everythin is fine & well in d FAE REALM :) if not GOD forbid then I’ll pray it to be soon, yup u r right it was gr8 experience 2 experience so many amazin happenings in my dream :) I hope I’ll be able 2 interpret the meaning, lol,fairydust,tc,cya,NAVNEETA

  40. dante September 29, 2009 at 8:41 pm #

    hey archie well,if your not ready(i dont want to scare you but)to open your third eye some bad stuff might happen>>>

  42. Archie October 1, 2009 at 12:38 am #

    Yeah i read somewhere, that opening your third eye can open u to good stuff as well as bad stuff…i tried to open it but i guess i didnt concentrate enuff, or may be i did it wrong,(i concentrated hard on the point between my eyes, i started feeling dizzy and thats’ it) coz really nuthin happened, i did not have any dreams or even any experience that can be regarded as something different! i need to know, will the printout of the amulet be helpful, rather than building it?Thanks.

  43. dante October 1, 2009 at 5:39 pm #

    well,sometimes its hard to know if your third eye is open…like mine.a week ago i thought it was open but the truth is,everyones third eeye is open but you dont know it…mine is open slightly or maybe your is wide open …did you ever wonder where your intuition comes form?..its comes from your third eye…

    here are some of the tips i read:

    1.first,more you read of the supernatural more your eye is ready to see them,so bad stuff wont happen as much.

    2.second,sugar blocks the third eye.

    3.meditation help soothe your mind so if your stressed it wont help.

    4.take a shower and imaging the water magical…and pre it on your forehead.

    Well,at fist i thought that i couldnt but when i mediitate i actually go to the place in my mind and when i focused i can be magical111

    hope i help,

    dante

    Natalie,
    Tonight it is a full moon and I feel very strange. When I was looking in the cupboard I felt…. I guess the word would be a prescence. At first I thought my dad was there but when I looked- no one. Well, I guess that would be as far as I know. Me and my friend are deciding to call the fairy that lives here cancer, the name I heard in my dream. I’m hoping they’ll visit me in my dreams tonight since it’s a full moon. Natalie, has a fairy ever tried to catch your attention by taking your fork at dinner? It was very odd when it happened to me.

  48. dante October 5, 2009 at 7:49 am #

    im not natalie but..no but they had took one of my htings that i borrowed from my grandma

    and one day i ask them to give me it back and i was about to go to my grandmas and i found it in my suitecase …i guess they were helping me pack!!!
