Step-by-Step: How to Make a Protection Bracelet

Step 1: Cleanse Your Materials

Before you begin, cleanse your crystals and tools. Use sage smoke, palo santo, or place them under moonlight for a few hours.

Step 2: Set Your Intention

Hold your crystals in your hand and focus on what you want the bracelet to protect you from. Say your intention aloud or silently.

Example: "I create this bracelet to shield me from negativity and promote peace in my life."

Step 3: Measure and Cut the Cord

Wrap the cord around your wrist loosely, then add 1 inch. Cut accordingly.

Step 4: String the Beads

Arrange the crystals based on their properties. For example:

  • Start with Obsidian (foundation)

  • Alternate with Amethyst (spiritual protection)

  • Add Tiger’s Eye (courage) midway

  • End with Hematite (grounding)

Step 5: Add Charms (Optional)

Incorporate symbols of protection for enhanced energy—like the Hamsa Hand or Evil Eye.

Step 6: Tie the Knot

Double-knot the ends and pull tight. Add a drop of glue to secure the knot.

Step 7: Cleanse Again

Cleanse the bracelet one final time before wearing.

 


 

Programming Your Bracelet

After you finish your bracelet, hold it in your hands and visualize a white light surrounding it. Say your intention again. This step "charges" the bracelet with your energy and purpose.

Repeat the intention regularly to maintain its strength.
