How to make a talisman?
As you can see, the picture shows a horseshoe. This item has long been used as a talisman. It was believed that finding a horseshoe would certainly bring good luck. And this is what this belief is connected with. Popular legend says that in the old days there lived one blacksmith who shod an unclean man, as a result of which an agreement was concluded that the evil spirits do not enter the house where this object hangs, pointing downward with its horns. Therefore, it is in this position that a horseshoe should be in a picture or on another amulet.
To make such a protective picture, you need to take:
- for the base - a photo frame or a rectangle made of plywood;
- paper napkins;
- burlap;
- furniture stapler;
- curly or straight wooden glazing beads;
- bronze black acrylic paint;
- PVA glue;
- glue gun;
- marker;
- sponge;
- scissors;
- brush.
Cut the burlap so that it is 1 cm larger than the dense base on all sides. Attach it to the plywood or to the photo frame, wrap the edges on the wrong side, attach the canvas here using a furniture stapler. Cut the ends of the glazing beads at a 45 ° angle and attach them along the edge of the frame with a glue gun.
If you do not have curly glazing beads, you can replace them with regular straight ones. If these are also not available, use narrow skirting boards for framing. Here's how to make the amulet further. With your own hands, you will need to cut strips 1-1.5 cm wide from a napkin folded in half, then moisten your palms with water, roll flagella from these blanks.
While these parts are drying, draw a horseshoe on the burlap. If you want it to be perfectly flat, use a template.
Lubricating the flagella with PVA glue, or applying it directly to the burlap, line these details first with the contours of the horseshoe, then fill it all.
Use a glue gun to evenly attach the coins to the horseshoe. To further make the amulet yourself or yourself, you will need to go out into the air on the street or on the balcony, since you need to cover your masterpiece with black paint from a spray can.
Give it time to dry completely, after which apply paint in the fresh air, but this time in a bronze color. To do this, slightly dip a sponge into it, blotting out the future masterpiece with dabbing movements.
When the painting is completely dry, the protection amulet is ready.
