2. Brigid’s cross
You’ve likely seen these on social media, they’re a really popular craft for Imbolc and a beautiful symbolic decoration. Making Brigid crosses is also a gorgeous, meditative ritual practice. It involves weaving and folding rushes and/or grasses to make a cross. Its origins are much older than the Christian cross, and when placed in your home, it’s believed to protect against negative energy, evil spirits, fire, and hunger.
Try making your own. There are many blogs and videos on Youtube explaining how to make one. I love THIS video from Active Culture Family and THIS simple tutorial.
3. 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 February’s energies of both love, and devotion.
4. Love spell jars
With Valentine’s Day on February 14th, it’s time to make some love magick!

5. Wand
By February, the worst of the winter storms are ususally done, making this a great time to go out and forage for the perfect piece of fallen wood to make a wand.

12. Hand embroidery for Imbolc
Celebrate the creativity of 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:
13. Snow Moon sugar 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 during the full Snow Moon on February 12th.
14. Glass lanterns
Simple but SO effective when made beautifully, lanterns can be made by repurposing old glass jars and filling them with candles or fairy lights.
Enhance them by wrapping twine or ribbon around the jars, or incorporating natural elements like moss or evergreen sprigs.
Place your lanterns on tables, along pathways, or by doorways to create a cosy ambience, and welcome back the light, on chilly February nights.
15. Poetry
Invoke the creative spirit of Brigid by writing poetry.
Not quite a craft, but a gorgeous creative activity to do this month.
Put together verses that honour the season, celebrate love, or even explore your magical, mythical journey.
Share your poems in a ritual or keep them as a personal spell to revisit throughout the year.
January’s quiet energy is the perfect time to slow down and infuse your life with concios magic through crafting.
Each of these witchy projects offers an opportunity to connect with the season’s reflective spirit while creating something meaningful and beautiful for yourself, your home or your friends.
Whatever you decide to make, let the whispers of your intuition guide you, and may your January crafts bring magic to your winter days.
Blessed be!
