🎄 DIY Witchy Gift: Sigil keyring 🎄
Here’s a little DIY for the broke witches out there that want to give their friends/family a small but meaningful gift this Christmas. (Also work great as stocking fillers!)
Context behind these gifts: My friends and I are in our last year of university together, and we are all likely to be going our separate ways after this year. I thought it’d be nice to give them something to remember the city we’re all studying in by.
Plastic keyrings ( passport photo keyrings) I bought mine cheap from Amazon.
Pieces of card cut to insert into keyring slot.
Little bottles, can be purchased from Ebay or Amazon. (Optional)
Eyepin screws from Ebay or Amazon.
Sand from local beach (Optional) Note: We live by the seaside, so I thought it’d be fitting to give them something to remind them of the city here. You could put other things in the bottles like dried flowers, glitter, little crystals.. If you do get some sand from a beach, don’t forget to thank the earth and the sea for it.
Something to write your sigils with. Watercolour/paint brush, glitter pens, paint pens..
Grab some scrap paper and a pen, and create some sigils tailored to the person who will be receiving your gift. Example: A sigil for confidence or a sigil for protection. I like to write my sigils using imagery rather than formulae, but you can use sigil generators online or use your own sigil making method.
Cut out pieces of card to fit the plastic keyrings slots. Once that’s done, write your sigil on the piece of card. You may want to practice a few times. I painted mine on with the brush because I liked the style of it, but you can simply draw them on with a pen if you want to.
Place the pieces of card in the keyrings, and seal shut with the plastic back of the keyring.
Carefully pour the sand you’ve collected into the little bottle. Screw an eyepin screw into the top of the cork, then seal bottle shut with glue and the cork. Then, you can attach the bottle to a thread (decorate thread by threading beads on if you like) and tie it to the keyring chain.
Ta-Da! You’ve now made a sweet little gift for someone you like. Attach it to bags, purses/wallets, car keys etc.
Thanks for reading and happy making!
