Hanging crystal charm - Arts, Crafts and DIY

This is best placed where the sun shines in your home.

Material

1 x 30cm Fishing line
10 Small beads, I chose crystal with a small hole at both ends
1 Crystal ball with holes on top
1 small Fish hook

Method

Attach the fishing line to hook and thread through clear crystal ball.
Make triple knots to separate beads, this can be your choice.
Thread crystal/beads through fishing line until you create the design you are after.
Make a loop at top of fishing line ready to hang

Notes

Body jewellery can be used as long as you can thread through fishing line, even pandora beads, possibilities are endless.

Nice idea. The slightly older primary school kids can do this themselves.

I have a beautiful strand of crystals, that I have hung for years at a eastern window, so love the beautiful coloured rays that the sun throws from it.

Those crystals are amazing. Find the perfect spot to hang them and they shoot light beams all round the room

And what’s an added bonus is if you hang it where the sun hits it, it will spread a rainbow of colour over your room. Beautiful

You could even make a few of these and hang them in the branches of a tree.

That appears to be attached to the door or very close to it. If it swings into something and keeps making a noise I would be taking it down at night.
Also what about the glare/reflection in your eyes from it?
One of my cousins put a small piece of Crystal under her daughter’s pilow. Apparently it supposed to help you relax and go to sleep quicker and for longer.

Parental supervision with fish hook. This would keep kids amused for a few hours deciding on their choice of design.
ONe of my cousins that the theory that crystal has a calming effect and had some under her daughter’s pillow.

This is very pretty and would look lovely with the sunshine hitting the crystals.

I love crystals, they’re meant to have excellent health benefits. But I really enjoy when the sun hits them, just gorgeous
