New Worlds of Body, Mind & Spirit Since 1901
| The slow pace of winter is a great time for projects, including crafting a new set of altar cloths. Visit your local fabric or craft store and scan the bolts of fabric. Stick with natural materials: cotton is an ideal choice, available in numerous colors and prints. You might design different cloths for the seasons, sabbats, esbats, or your own magical specialties. Before working with the fabric, preshrink by washing it in hot water and drying fully in a dryer.
Cut the cloth into the shapes you wish: triangles for Goddess magics, squares for elemental work, circles for general purposes, etc., or design the coverings to fit your available spaces. Turn the raw edges over by 1/4 inch and sew, or iron-bond the edges with fusible webbing. Save the scraps to use for amulet bags, tarot wraps, and other purposes. Enjoy decorating your magical spaces with your beautiful new altar cloths! |
