First crochet tarot bag

[quetzalzotz]

I used to sew my own tarot bags, but I don't have a sewing machine and I'm not really good with fabric without help (my Krennic pillow being the notable exception because it had sewing lines on it, lol). I thought about getting the sewing machine from my aunt and trying (as I have some fabric stashed away) but I wanted to make something more personal and since I crochet, I'm doing that! And my organza bags are pretty torn up so....These should stack nicely too!
I modified a couple different patterns in order to get the look I wanted. It's all in one, with a latch and flap closure (I thought about getting buttons but Michaels doesn't have a big selection and Fabricland is kinda shitty in general)


This pouch is for my Vampire tarot and it's in a blood red Caron Simply Soft yarn. This is one of my favorite yarns to work with even though it had a tendency to split while you're working. It's so soft though. I definitely want to make their spectrum afghan.




The crystals I keep with this deck are my usual clear and rose quartz, and the deck specific stone is bloodstone.

Beautiful! I once knitted a little case for my old digital camera kind of like that.

That's awesome!

I love this! Making bags for tarot cards is a great idea, especially since I have a few decks that don't have boxes (including the vampire one you have pictured here, lol).

I also need to get back to reading tarot in general...I loved it for awhile and then fell out of the habit.

It's hard to keep habits, tbh.

I'm really enjoying doing this, and doing what I can. Don't beat yourself up too hard over readings and such. Though if you want practice, I know someone who would be willing to be a guinea pig.
