Spring is a time of quickening – when the earth shakes off its winter slumber and pulses with new life. The air hums with the song of renewal, the soil stirs with unseen movement, and the energy of creation rushes through the world like sap rising in the trees.

We, too, are part of this great awakening.

To craft is to create, and to create is to wield raw magic.

Every spell, every sacred act of intention, is a weaving of energy into form. The flick of a paintbrush, the tying of a knot, the shaping of clay – these are not just mundane tasks; they are rituals of manifestation and purpose, spells cast with hands and heart.

The ancients knew this well: that the things we create with intention become vessels of power, imbued with our spirit, our breath, our will.

This guide gathers 50 of the best natural magickal crafts for witchy, creative souls who feel the call of spring’s wild magick!

1. Beeswax candles

Fire is the great illuminator, catalyst, and bridge between the physical and spiritual planes.

Craft candles from pure beeswax, add essential oils for the season, and dress them with your favourite dried herbs  – parsley, sage and rosemary are great choices.

As you pour or roll each candle, whisper your intentions into the wax, sealing your spell within.

Light them during rituals to invoke the warmth and life-giving power of the returning sun. Get your supplies here:

• 2 lb Pure White Beeswax Pellets – the creme-de-la-creme for candlemaking (you can also use this for soap and cosmetics).
• Candle Making Kit with Boiler – comes with a boiler and little electric stove, and makes melting wax SO much easier!
• Beeswax sheets for candle rolling – great for kids, no melting required.

2. Vine & ivy crown

Ivy and vines represent endurance, transformation, and wild nature, making them perfect for ritual wear or Beltane celebrations (Beltane arrives on May 1st, so some of your April crafting will be in preparation for this).

Ivy and vines, such as honeysuckle or grape, are lovely to work with.

Gather long, flexible vines and weave them into a circle, securing them with twine if necessary

Adorn with fresh flowers, dried herbs, or small charms.

Wear during rituals, Beltane festivities, or even moonlit meditations.

**If you have sensitive skin, you may want to be cautious handling certain plant material.

3. Willow wand

Willow is sacred to the moon, water, and the unseen realms, making it a powerful wand material.

Late March is around the last time you can prune willow, before it comes into leaf. So with respect and gratitude, harvest a stem with the intention of wand-making.

Wrap it in silver thread, attach charms or crystals, and dedicate it under the light of the full moon.

Use it to direct energy, open portals between worlds, and strengthen your connection to the fae and spirits of the land.

4. Spring sun catchers

Harness the power of the returning sun by crafting easy DIY sun catchers.

Wire-wrap crystals like clear quartz, citrine, or sunstone (if you feel called, weave in charms of butterflies, eggs, or spirals for added detail and power).

Hang them in windows where they’ll refract light, filling your space with protective and energizing frequencies.

5. Dandelion wish bottles

Dandelions arrive fairly early in Spring and hold the beautiful emergent magick of wish-making and possibility.

It’s so much fun to collect their fluffy seeds and place them in tiny glass bottles with herbs like star anise (luck), rose petals (love), or cinnamon (success).

Seal your bottle with a cork and some melted wax, and shake it while whispering your dreams, sending them out to the Goddess like scattered seeds on the wind.

• Tiny 10ml glass spell jars
• 20ml spell jars
• 30ml glass jars

6. Herbal fire starters

Prepare for your Beltane fire by crafting some herbal fire starters to not only ignite the flame, but carry your wishes into the heart of the bonfire!

Gather any dried herbs you have around – it’s the perfect opportunity to use up springs and leaves from last summer (rosemary, mugwort, cinnamon sticks).

Bind them with twine and tuck in flower petals or pine needles.

Use to light your ritual fires or burn in cauldrons as offerings.

7. DIY bird feeders

Birds are messengers between worlds, and many witches believe they carry wisdom from the spirit realm to the earthly plane.

Create bird feeders using pinecones, fat, and seeds, blessing them as offerings for nature’s sacred creatures.

Speak a spell of gratitude as you hang them in trees in your garden, asking for guidance and harmony in return. Then observe which birds visit – each will carry its own omen and mystical meaning.

8. Garden sigil stones

Imbue your blossoming Spring garden with magick by painting sigils of abundance, growth, and protection onto smooth stones.

Place them at the base of plants, along pathways, or near your door to weave protective and nurturing energy into the land.

9. Rainwater collection jars

Spring is known for its rainshowers, and at this time of year rain carries the frequencies of cleansing, renewal, and divination. And sometimes the potency and destruction of storms.

Capturing the range of rainwater that falls allows you to preserve the magic of the season, for future spellwork.

What to do:

• Place a clean glass jar or bowl outside during rainfall.
• Whisper an incantation: “Sacred rain, cleanse and bless, fill this jar with nature’s breath.”
• Once collected, strain out any debris and pour the elixir into a dark glass jar or apothecary bottle.
• Label with the date, moon phase, weather conditions, and any other relevant info.
• Use it for ritual baths, spell bottles, cleansing sprays, and divination rituals.

• 32oz amber glass mason jars (set of 6)
• 16oz amber glass bottles (set of 2)

10. Spring altar cloth

Your altar is a sacred gateway between realms, and its cloth sets the foundation for your magical workings. March is the ideal time to renew your altar cloth.

Weave, embroider, decorate or paint a new altar cloth with symbols of the Spring – hares, eggs, budding branches, or spirals representing the cycle of life.

Embroider it with protective runes or planetary sigils to enhance your altar’s potency. 

11. Milk and honey bath bombs

Channel self-love and nourishment by crafting bath bombs with powdered milk, honey, and adding essential oils like rose or vanilla.

These luxurious bombs turn bath time into a cleansing and magical ritual, perfect for Spring’s gentle energy of both love, and awakening.

12. Floral moon water

This sophisticated older cousin of regular moon water combines the soothing energy of the moon with the vibrancy of spring blossoms.

Simply fill a glass jar with spring water, and add fresh or dried flowers based on your intent (see below). Place it under the full or waxing moon overnight to charge.

Before the sun comes up the next morning, retrieve your moon water, strain and store in a dark glass bottle.

Use for anointing, spellwork, and beauty rituals. (Do your research if you intend to drink a floral infusion).

Spring flowers and corresponding properties:

• Violet – Intuition, spiritual protection, connecting with the Fae
• Cherry blossom – Renewal, beauty, fleeting love, embracing the present
• Dandelion – Divination, wishes, resilience, clarity in decision-making
• Tulip – Prosperity, passion, confidence, attracting new opportunities
• Wild Rose – Self-love, romance, emotional healing, heart-centered magic
• Honeysuckle – Sweetening energy, abundance, attracting positivity

13. Plant magick journals

As nature comes back to life and shoots, leaves and buds are bursting forth, take real notice of what’s growing in your part of the world.

Start a Book of Shadows specifically for plant magic, to serve as a personal grimoire of earthly wisdom.

Decorate a journal with pressed flowers, and include handwritten observations, experiences with different herbs, plant messages and incantations, dedicating it to the spirits of the green world.

Let each page become a living spell, deepening your connection with plant magic and the sacred rhythms of nature.

You could fill a simple ring binder with loose pages, or start a special witchy journal – these are beautiful:

• Stunning green leather bound journal with key detail – SO beautiful!
• Sun & moon leather journal
• Lunar moth journal – a stunning handmade notebook for your book of spells

14. Flower-pressed bookmarks

Press early spring flowers like violets, crocuses, or daisies between the pages of a heavy book. Once dried (this may take a couple of weeks, so plan ahead!) seal them onto cardstock or thin wooden bookmarks with glue, adding your favourite affirmations or lines of poetry.

These simple, personalised bookmarks are beautiful to use in spellbooks, grimoires, or seasonal reads.

15. Pressed flower lanterns

Don’t stop there! Once you have a stock of dried flowers, you can use them to create a beautiful upcycled glass jar lantern.

Simply glue your dried flowers onto a glass jar, adding as many or as few as you like to form stunning patterns.

Place a tea light inside to create a beautiful, glowing lantern that symbolizes the returning light, and life awakening all around (even after dark!)

16. Eggshell spell powders

Ground eggshells, known as cascarilla, are well known to create a potent protective barrier against negative energy. It’s easy to make your own, and can be stored and used in a whole range of spells and magickal workings.

How to make cascarilla:

• Rinse and dry eggshells completely.
• Grind them into a fine powder using a mortar and pestle. Hold a clear intention for protection, and chant protective words as you work.
• Store in a small, airtight jar for future use, for example: Drawing protection circles around doors and windows, using in spell bottles for shielding magic, and even sprinkling into ritual baths for purification.

17. Wildflower seed paper

This child-friendly craft blends earth magic and manifestation – as the paper disintegrates, your wishes take root and bloom.

Seed paper instructions:

• Tear scrap paper into small pieces.
• Blend with water until it becomes a soft pulp.
• Mix in wildflower seeds (calendula, poppy, lavender).
• Press the mixture into thin sheets using a screen or sieve.
• Let it dry completely, then write your wishes, spells, or affirmations on it.
• Plant it in the earth, whispering, “As these flowers grow, so too does my magic.”

18. Herbal love sachets

Sew small fabric sachets filled with love-enhancing herbs like rose, hibiscus, and lavender.

Tuck them into your pillow for sweet, loving dreams or carry them to attract love and harmony into your life.

19. Spell-infused ink

There is an ancient power in writing – words imbued with purpose become spells in their own right.

Crafting your own spell-infused ink transforms every letter, symbol, or sigil into a vessel of deep, personal magick.

Use homemade ink to write petitions, draw protective symbols, or inscribe affirmations that resonate with your desires.

Ingredients & tools:

• Base ingredient for colour, for eg. walnut husks (wisdom, grounding), hibiscus petals (love, passion, attraction), beetroot (vitality, strength, manifestation)
• Water (moon-charged or rainwater)
• Gum Arabic (for thickness and longevity) – get liquid here, and get powder here
• A small pot (for simmering)
• Fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth
• Glass jar with lid (for storage)
• Essential oils (a drop of rosemary for clarity, rose for love, etc. Optional)

Method:

Prepare the base: Begin by placing about ½ cup of your chosen botanical (crushed walnut husks, dried hibiscus petals,  beetroot slices) into a small pot. Add 1 cup of water, and combine, focussing on your intention for the ink, envisioning it becoming a vessel for your words and spells.

Simmer & infuse: Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over low heat. Stir occasionally, and allow it to simmer for 20–30 minutes, staying present with the process.

Strain the ink: Once the liquid has deepened to a rich hue, carefully pour it through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a bowl to separate the plant material. Press the herbs gently to extract as much of the pigment as possible.

Add Gum Arabic: Stir in about ½ teaspoon of gum arabic to the strained liquid. This natural resin thickens the ink and ensures it adheres smoothly to paper without smudging. If you desire a thicker or more vibrant consistency, adjust the amount of gum arabic slowly until you reach the desired texture.

Enhance the magick (optional):
For an added layer of enchantment, add a drop of essential oil (rosemary for clarity, rose for love, or peppermint for focus). As you stir your ink, speak your intention into it, for eg. “May these words carry my desire into the universe and manifest with purpose.”

Bottle & charge: Carefully pour the completed ink into a dark glass jar with a secure lid.

Use your ink: When ready, use your spell-infused ink with a quill, brush, or dip pen. Write petitions, affirmations, or sigils to enhance your spellwork. Inscribe candles, draw protective symbols on your altar tools, or fill the pages of your grimoire with words that now carry heightened energy and personal significance.

**Tip: Natural pigments may settle, so shake gently before each use.

21. Storm sigils

Storms are filled with untamed power – the perfect energy for sigil magic.

Draw a sigil representing strength, change, or protection, then place it outside during a storm to be charged with the raw force of wind and rain.

Keep this sigil in your grimoire, pocket, or altar space for an extra surge of energy.

22. Fabric scrap garland

Cut fabric scraps or ribbons in earthy, pastel, or floral tones and tie them to a length of twine to make a garland. This can be used to decorate your space for spring, as a gentle nod to renewal and fresh energy.

This is great for using up old pieces of fabric, old clothes, or even pillowcases and curtains that are past their best.

23. Love & passion charm bags

From Valentine’s Day in Feb, to Beltane on May 1st, love spells bloom in Spring!

It’s when the earth herself is in a state of sensual awakening.

There are a whole plethora of love spells to try, but crafting a simple charm bag and carrying it with you for the month is another way to harness this particular frequency (yum!)

Fill a small red or pink pouch with rose petals, jasmine, cinnamon, rose quarts and carnelian. Sew your own from fabric, or use a small, readymade drawstring pouch.

Hold it to your heart, speaking words of self-love or attraction, and carry it with you to draw warmth and passion into your life.

• Sweet small red velvet drawstring bags
• Dried rose petals and buds 
• Cinnamon sticks 
• Dried jasmine flowers

24. Nature mandala

Crafting a nature mandala is a truly earth-honouring way to connect with the energy of the season. You can make yours inside or out, but I prefer to make mine outside as a offering to the land.

Go out into nature and gather leaves, stones, flowers, and twigs.

Begin with a central focal point, then arrange your items in a circular, symmetrical pattern to reflect harmony and renewal. Let intuition guide your design, and have fun with it!

Once complete, sit in reflection and gratitude for a moment, appreciating the natural beauty surrounding you before returning the materials to the earth.

25. Ribbon wish wands

A little like the woven ribbons of the Beltane May Pole, wish wands use the same magick of entwinement to call in love, creativity, abundance, and togetherness.

Find yourself a large sturdy twig and weave ribbons coloured ribbons around it.

Experiment with different colours and thicknesses of ribbon. Have fun, play – there’s no wrong way to do this, and your wand will become what you need it to.

If you like, leave long tassels at one end, and dance with it around the Beltane fire on May 1st.

26. Flower-adorned miniature besom brooms

Brooms are powerful tools for cleansing and renewal.

Adorn a small besom with fresh flowers, dried herbs, and charms.

Hang it near your door to ward off negativity and symbolically sweep away stagnant energy before Beltane, whilst inviting fresh, vibrant energy.

27. Knotted love bracelets

Use red, pink, or white threads to create knotted bracelets for love and friendship. With each knot, focus on an intention or affirmation.

Wear them to carry your intentions with you, or gift them to loved ones.

28. Violet-infused oil

It’s around March that the first violets appear in the UK (and I think it’s similar in some states in the US).

With their delicate petals and profound healing and protective qualities, violets make a perfect infused oil for the early days of spring. This gentle, heart-opening oil can be used for anointing candles, in self-care rituals, or as a soothing skin remedy.

What you’ll need:

• Fresh violet flowers 
• A light carrier oil (sweet almond, jojoba, or olive oil)
• A small glass jar with a lid
• A strainer or cheesecloth

How to make it:

Gather & cleanse: Gather your violet flowers, and ensure they are free of dirt and moisture 

Fill the jar: Place the flowers into the jar, filling to the top. Pour the carrier oil over them, fully submerging the petals.

Let it steep: Seal the jar and place it in a warm, dark spot for 4–6 weeks, shaking gently every few days.

Strain & store: Once infused, strain out the petals and transfer the oil to a clean bottle. Store in a cool, dark place and use as needed.

This soft, floral oil carries the gentle magic of violets, offering calm, love, and emotional balance with every drop. You can apply straight to the skin, or make balms or creams, or use in spellwork and magick.

29. Solar-infused floral vinegar

Harness the power of the sun by infusing apple cider vinegar with fresh spring flowers like dandelions, violets, and rose petals (ensure they are edible).

Place the jar in sunlight for several weeks, allowing it to absorb the solar frequencies fully.

Use this vinegar in cleansing rituals, beauty spells, or kitchen witchcraft.

30. Beeswax wraps

Make reusable beeswax wraps for an eco-friendly, magical touch to your kitchen witchery. Beeswax wraps are incredibly handy for storing food, infusions, and all your magickal culinary creations.  And they are super easy to make. Follow these simple steps:

• Cut up some clean cotton fabric into your desired size
• Place a piece of parchment paper down on an ironing board, and place the fabric on top.
• Sprinkle grated beeswax over the fabric as evenly as you can, then add another piece of parchment over the top (make sure the paper is larger than the fabric, to prevent leakage)
• Gently iron over the top, so that the beeswax into the fabric, and continue until it’s all melted and evenly spread. 
• Lastly, gently peel the fabric wrap off of the parchment paper and hang up to dry.
• Some people like to sew on a button and waxed cord for easy wrapping and securing. 

31. Herbal bath tea bags

Herbal baths are soooo soothing. What’s not so great is the residue of soggy herbs left in your tub once the water has drained! That’s why using tea bag is a must when it comes to ritual bathing with any kind of added ingredients.

This month, create bath tea bags filled with uplifting calendula, rose, and lemon balm (or any other herbs or dried flowers that tug at your intuition).

Let them steep in your bath like a potion, infusing the water with their healing energy, before you bathe beneath the full moon to cleanse away stagnation and invite new beginnings…

You can buy reusable drawstring cloth bags, or for even more ease, get hold of biodegradable bags you can compost post-bath:

• Pack of 100 biodegradable 3.2x4inch bags
• 60 x reusable cotton drawstring bags

Suggested herbs and their magical properties:

32. Witch’s ladder

Create a witch’s ladder by knotting feathers onto a length of yarn or twine. Make each knot represent an intention for the season, the higher you go, the further your intention will take flight!

Hang your witch’s ladder in your home or keep it on your altar to work its magic for the whole month.

33. Hand embroidery 

Celebrate the creativity of the Spring Goddess Brigid by practising embroidery. Stitch designs like flames, flowers, or sigils onto fabric to honour the goddess and invoke her blessings in your home or magical practice.

Here are a few of my witchy hand embroidery templates:

• Flossy Design
• Moth and Moon designs
• Mystic Mushrooms
• Moon kit for beginners

34. Sugar skin scrub

Create a bewitching sugar scrub using coconut oil, sugar and vanilla, to cast a little glamour magick and glow up this February!

Simply mix a cup of brown sugar with ½ sup coconut oil.

As you mix, invoke beauty and radiance. Add a teaspoon of pure vanilla extract, as a devotion to Venus, Goddess of beauty, and ask for her blessings.

When well combined, transfer your sugar scrub to a jar, and use to cleanse your face, neck and chest.

35. New intention spell jar

Witches know the new Year doesn’t really get going until the green shoots begin to appear, making Spring a great time to set your intentions for the year.

Combine corresponding herbs, crystals and other ingredients, with a written intention into a spell jar, and keep it on your altar for the season.

Get your spell jars here:

• 20ml glass jars with screw eyes (great for hanging charms)

Don’t forget to add a written intention as an affirming statement, such as “New opportunities flow effortlessly to me, and I approach each day with confidence, joy, and purpose,” and place it in the jar.

When complete, seal your spell jar using the melted wax from a candle, or a small block of sealing wax melted in a spoon over a candle, poured onto the top of the jar:

• Set of 20 spell candles (assorted colours)
• Wax sealing kit with 24 colours

36. Egg charms

Eggs have long been sacred symbols of fertility, renewal, and the cycle of life, making them powerful tools for Springtime crafting.

Decorate eggs and infuse them with your intentions, by painting them with sigils, runes, or alchemical symbols representing growth, transformation, and manifestation.

Use gold or silver ink to invoke celestial energies, or dye them in colours aligned with your purpose for the season.

As you craft, visualize the egg as a vessel of pure potential, charged with the energies of rebirth.

Place your completed eggs on your altar, bury them in your garden to bless the land, or keep one as a talisman of renewal throughout the turning of the Wheel.

37. Wind chimes

Create wind chimes to bring movement and fresh energy into your space. At this late wintery time of year, use frosted glass beads, bells, and silver charms, assembling them with intention.

Hang your chime near a door or window to invite positivity and clear stagnant vibes as the wind breathes life into your creation.

38. Magickal tapestry

Weave a small tapestry using a simple loom or a DIY cardboard frame. Incorporate wool, metallic thread, and even winter charms into your design.

Hang your creation as a focal point in your space, above your altar infused with your energy and intention.

• Weaving on a Little Loom: Techniques, Patterns, and Projects for Beginners – great book to get inspired

39. Wishing stones

Wishing stones are simple yet meaningful tools that help you focus your intentions and manifest your desires. Typically small, smooth stones, they can be carried with you or placed on your altar as reminders of your wishes and goals.

To create your wishing stones, go out into nature and select a few that resonate with you. Then simply decorate them by writing your wishes, symbols, or affirmations directly onto the stones using Poska pens or paint.

Once adorned, hold each stone in your hands and visualize your intentions, connecting with the energy you wish to manifest. Keep your wishing stones in a special place, such as on your altar or in your pocket, serving as daily reminders of your intentions.

40. Wildflower seed bombs

Combine soil, clay powder, and wildflower seeds to make seed bombs. These magical little orbs carry the promise of spring, and planting them becomes a ritual of renewal and growth. Infuse them with your intentions for abundance and beauty.

For added guerilla gardening power, keep a bag of them in your car, or by your front door.  When you go out walking you can cast them into disused and neglected corners of your neighbourhood, to add some flower power!

There, you have it! I hope you feel inspired by some of these Spring craft ideas.

Making art, herbal blends, DIY decor, and magickal tools is one of my favourite ways to align with the season and participate in the great awakening. I hope you feel that too.
