I got this from a crafting list I am on, and thought you may find it fun to try.Subject: Making a pentacle altar tile Merry Meet, I sent this to another list (gasp! are there others?!) but wanted to share here too... This is one of the things I made for my altar, I have more but this is the first that came to mind. I am always trying to be a thrify Witch so making tools and items work well for me and cost *much* less than buying, not to mention the energy you infuse them with as you create your items. Making a Pentacle Altar Tile Materials Needed: Acrylic paints in assorted colors, 2oz. bottles (These you can get cheap at craft and hobby supply stores, they cost under $2 apiece and you can get them on sale, especiall around the holidays.) Clear shellac in a spraycan or the brush-on kind (acquire at craft/hobby supply store also.) small art paintbrush (if using the brush-oh shellac, get a larger paintbrush or one of those sponge brushes with the handle, this type of shellac is thick.) pencil round item to trace (I use the bottom of a can.) something to put your paints in (old egg cartons work great for this or you can get cheap palettes at craft/hobby stores.) Instructions: This can be done to create all sorts of tiles for many purposes, to give as gifts or just to make your own to use or for decorations, trivets, etc. I have used glitter on some of mine and you can use all sorts of items like shells, beads, stones and crystals, fabric, small mirrors, etc. Happy Crafting!
