Hello, my mystical faerie babies! I decided to do something different today and take a try at some wire wrapping. It is very basic, as I used no tools because I do not own any pliers. With that being said, it is very delicate and fragile since the wires are not tightened up to normal standard. Since this won't be worn as a pendant, that works just fine for this particular craft idea.
Thought behind this idea:
I wanted to create something that gave off a magical and mystical vibe. I use essential oils a lot, especially lavender for calming my anxiety, and I thought it would be neat to make a very ethereal, mystical, faerie-esque holder for my oil solution.
Things you will need:
Thin, pliable wire from the craft store
Old circle lens vial or any little glass vial
Ribbon
Crystal of your choice or any other magical adornment
Essential oil of your choice
Basic how to:
1) Peel sticker off of lens vial and remove the rubber stopper.
2) Cut a short length of wire, about 4-5 inches and wrap around the neck of the vial, having the two ends cross each other. Continue wrapping in this way until you have about an inch of both ends hanging down.
3) Take the two ends and twist them into each other.
4) Separately wrap your gemstone in the fashion you want it. Whatever design of twists and wraps.
5) Slide the twisted end that is hanging from the vial under one of the wraps on the crystal and twist until secured.
6) Cut a decent amount of ribbon and wrap around the vial, securing the twisted wire to the vial so it doesn't move around. Cross the ribbon and secure it around the back of the neck.
7) Optional, but take an additional piece of ribbon and tie it once more around the neck of the vial for extra security.
8) Cut the ends of the ties you made so they don't stick out.
9) Mix up a solution of water and essential oil. Do this by putting quite a few drops into the vial and filling the rest of the way with water. The potency is up to you.
10) Admire your work, take pictures, and tag me in them on Instagram! (@quartzkitten)
Ending thought:
I know this is extremely basic and my instructions seem vague, but I am a beginner myself. I hope I explained it well enough for you to be able to come up with a functional way to do this on your own. This was my first shot at it and I wanted to try to give you an idea of how it was done. Next time I will be sure to film a video when I make a craft. Regardless, this magical little creation is just lovely and will be put to great use. I will use it for anxiety relief and spirit cleansing. It's also just pretty to look at!
I hope you babies enjoyed this little DIY rundown and I will talk to you very soon!
I love you sooo much!
