I'm a rockhound and a lover of crystals.
I have had a bowl of crystal stones for many years and thought I would do a simple DIY to display them on a hanging wreath.
Before I share the 'How To DIY' the wreath, let's delve into the magical world of crystals.
They are known as rocks, gems, minerals or crystals.
Crystals have long fascinated humanity, not only for their stunning beauty but also for the myriad beliefs surrounding their healing properties. These remarkable natural formations are more than just decorative items; they have a rich history and significance in various cultures worldwide.
Many cultures believe that crystals possess healing properties. From ancient civilizations to modern holistic practices, individuals have turned to these beautiful stones for various purposes:
· Amethyst: Often associated with tranquillity and peacefulness, amethyst is believed to enhance spiritual awareness and calm the mind.
· Rose Quartz: Known as the stone of love, rose quartz is thought to promote emotional healing, self-acceptance, and compassion.
· Citrine: This vibrant yellow crystal is said to attract abundance and prosperity, lifting mood and promoting joy.
Crystals resonate with many as symbols of nature’s art and as tools for mindfulness and healing.
People use crystals in meditation practice, by placing them in their living spaces or wearing them as jewellery, believing that their energies can positively affect well-being. While scientific evidence to support the efficacy of these claims is limited, the psychological impact of using crystals can certainly enhance a person’s sense of peace and connection to oneself.
Let's DIY a simple Crystal gem wreath.
I used a selection of colours.
But you could just use:
White, pink and purple.
Ocean colours of all shades of blue and green.
Blue and white.
Black and white.
Orange, red and yellow.
Whatever takes your fancy really.
The final step is to attach a hanger of twine to the finished wreath.
