Summer is a season of peak energy, growth, and sun-charged magick, making it the perfect time to craft tools, charms, herbal elixirs and seasonal decor.

But when life gets busy, long and intricate projects aren’t always an option. That’s where these 10-minute crafts come in… Because we all know that crafting IS magick… so it’s not something to stop doing when time is short!

Each craft idea in this guide is simple yet powerful, allowing you to infuse magick and making into your day with minimal effort.

To get the most out of these crafts, preparation is key.

Gather your materials beforehand (links are included throughout so you can source what you need quickly and easily – these are affiliate but you won’t get charged any extra by using them).

It’s always handy to have things like herbs, crystals, candles, twine, and small jars on hand – so when inspiration strikes, you can jump right in! Let’s begin…

1. Sun Sigil Blessing Stones

Find a smooth stone that calls to you, either from the beach, a riverbed, or your own garden.

Using paint, a marker (we recommend these Poska pens) or even a carving tool, inscribe a personalized sigil representing strength, protection, or confidence.

Hold the stone in your hands and focus on your intention, allowing the warmth of the sun to charge it with energy.

These stones can be carried in a pocket, placed on an altar, or gifted to a loved one. You can even make a set with different sigils for prosperity, love, and intuition to use in rituals and spellwork.

2. Mini Herbal Brooms 

A witch’s broom (or besom) is a classic tool for clearing negative energy. To make a quick mini besom, gather small bundles of herbs like rosemary (for protection), lavender (for peace), or thyme (for purification). Bind them together with twine, leaving a loop at the top for hanging.

Place your mini besoms above your door, near a window, or on your altar to cleanse and protect your space. You can also lightly sweep around your home to dispel stagnant energy, then hang it back up when finished.

3. Quick Spell Jar Necklace

Tiny spell jar necklaces are a discreet and beautiful way to carry magic with you.

Fill a small glass vial with salt, dried herbs, crystal chips, or even a tiny written intention. For a love charm, use rose petals and quartz; for protection, try black salt and obsidian chips.

Seal the jar with wax and hold it in your hands while setting your intention. Wear it as a charm for confidence, protection, or manifestation wherever you go.

4. Seashell Protection Charm

Seashells carry the power of the ocean and can be transformed into stunning little protective charms.

Choose a small shell and inscribe a sigil inside using a Poska Pen, paint, or a fine-tipped carving tool. Hold it in your hand and whisper your intention, visualizing it absorbing protective energy.

Carry the shell in your pocket, place it under your pillow for dream protection, or keep it on your altar as a symbol of water’s intuitive and healing energy.

5. Pressed Flower Spell Paper

Pressed flowers can make for stunning, magickally infused spell papers.

Gather fresh flower petals (large, blousy blooms like peonies, roses and poppies work well), place them between parchment or wax paper, and press them under a heavy book. You can leave for as little as a few minutes, or longer – weeks or even months.

Once dried and flattened, you can write spells, affirmations, or sigils on the petals and use them in your grimoire, spellwork, or as offerings.

They can also be used to create bookmarks, altar decorations, or gift charms. Number 5 in this Guide to May Witchy Crafts gives instructions on making your own Rose Petal Divination Cards.

6. Summer Floral Hair Clip

Turn a plain hair clip into a magickal accessory by attaching dried flowers and herbs with glue or wire. Choose flowers that align with your intention – lavender for calm, rose for love, or daisies for joy.

Infuse the clip with an intention as you place it in your hair. This is a perfect everyday talisman that subtly weaves a little glamour magick into your appearance.

Repurpose an old clip, or get your supplies here:

• 2-inch metal snap hair clips (taupe)
• Double clip hair clips
• Hot melt glue gun – this is one of the best

7. Sigil-Engraved Ritual Spoon

A wooden spoon can become a powerful witch’s tool with a simple sigil engraving. Using a woodburning tool (we recommend this one), inscribe a sigil, rune, or moon phase onto the handle.

Use this spoon for stirring teas, mixing herbs, or potion-making, allowing the engraved energy to blend into your spellwork. These make lovely gifts for fellow witches or additions to kitchen altars.

• Set of 12 wooden spoons

8. Crystal-Charged Moon Water

Moon water is a staple in witchcraft, and it takes just moments to prepare. Adding crystals can enhance its energy. Simply fill a jar with filtered water, place a safe-for-water crystal (such as quartz or amethyst) inside, and leave it under the full moon. 

Use this water for cleansing, anointing, or adding to sprays and potions.

9. Charm Bracelet with Intention Beads

String beads onto an elastic cord, choosing colors and materials based on magickal properties you want to activate. For example, green aventurine to call in abundance, tiger’s eye for confidence, or amethyst to enhance intuition.

As you string each bead, focus on its purpose and whisper an intention.

Once complete, wear it daily as a personal charm for continuous magick. You can make multiple bracelets for different purposes and stack them for layered enchantments.

• Elastic cord – black and white, this is great.
• 8mm green aventurine beads

10. Hanging Protection Bells

Protection bells are a simple, effective way to ward off negativity. MAny witch bells are elaborate, but simpler versions can be made quickly, and they’re no less effective!

Attach small bells to a string or ribbon, adding charms like tiny crystals, feathers, or dried herbs for extra energy.

Hang the bells on your door handle, window, or in your car.

Every time they jingle, they disperse negative energy and invite positivity and protection into your space.
