DIY Witchy Makeover on a budget

[@ElvenEarthTenders]

I love how your stuff is done cheaply/inexpensively & looks like anyone could make it. I get depressed clicking on tutorials and people have all sorts of special tools and spend a ton of time making things I would have to practice years to look halfway decent and it's too much work to begin with. Your crafts look so organic and unique; I love them. Thank you for sharing with us!

[@robinlocher1509]

I agree and was going to comment something similar! I love how Alwyn uses simple materials that you may already have around the house or can easily find on a nature walk. I love the idea of repurposing boxes and things like she has! ❤

[@witchothewood455]

I love all of this, and have used your tissue paper method to decorate MANY boxes! I also made a crystal pyramid like yours, only a little bigger. What a great idea, and thank you for all of your videos!

[@traumfaengerinify]

Oh I love the dark wood texture. I don't have the money to buy real wooden furniture, it's usually the white ikea stuff. I'll definitely try this out with my office desk! thank you so much

[@AlwynOak]

Teresa Margit aww you are welcome!! It actually stays on very well with a good gloss or varnish over the top 😊❤️

[@kittybeckett5791]

if you're interested you can find some great old wooden furniture second hand in and charity shops etc as well as things like Facebook marketplace x i've seen whole wardrobes go for about £25! old furniture has so much character and individuality :)

[@traumfaengerinify]

@@kittybeckett5791 thanks. i'm a bit short on money and actually planning on moving to a bigger place in a year or so, so until then I want to make a bit of small, cheap changes until the big move :) but thanks for the advice! i live in the capital of my country and we have the greatest flea markets, antique stores etc. they can be pricy but i think it's worth it!

[@kittybeckett5791]

@@traumfaengerinify oh I totally understand don't worry! I just think old furniture is the greatest haha, It can definitely get pricey depending where you go but there is a lot of furniture that is priced lower if it is stained etc so it's worth having a hunt through. they last a lot longer than newer furniture too so it's definitely worth it if you can :)

[@KstewLover1]

Just a tip very lightly sand with at minimum 320 grit or higher, and use preferably a little bit more expensive paint than like dollar store quality. And of course finish it with lacquer and a good brush helps doesn’t need to be expensive just the right type for the right paint. :)

[@Dust.bxnnyy]

This is so satisfying like wow I love witchy stuff ❤😘

[@AlwynOak]

Awe that's so lovely thanks sweet! X

[@demonwantstodie]

Omg me too

[@wisdom.witchasmr9006]

Your ideas are great ! I personnaly never thought about making the crystal shelf myself and I'm thinking about it now! Share more of them 🥰 Your voice is lovely btw !

[@AlwynOak]

Thankyou that's such a lovely compliment!! I know i always saw the crystal pyramids and they were so expensive!!! Glad we can support each other 😘❤️ xoxoxo

[@janebrookes446]

I agree , I loved this idea and I will trying this soon . Also your voice is just so soothing and today I had a stressful moment and I heard your voice believe it or not , in my head telling me to stay calm and relax . I hope my shelf turns out as beautiful as yours . You make things that I’d never imagine to make myself , thank you so much xx

[@naturewitch8687]

Looks beautiful 😍🧚‍♀️✨

[@AdventureswithAmirah]

I really love your Moon phase box and the way you drew everything out and arranged it on the wall. Beautiful❣️

[@AlwynOak]

Thankyou that is so kind! I find it helps so much drawing it out first... or if you have the sims that helps a lot too!!

Something about your voice is gorgeous, i felt so at peace watching this, blessed be

[@KiaBlocker-ig3ws]

I'M THINKING GOING TO MAKEOVER THE BONUS ROOM TOO A WITCH ROOM.

[@sajejekyllhyde4647]

You can make the alchemy shelf the same way using three pieces of wood planks. I made mine that way. I also used another plank from a mini crate and drilled circles into them and then used cardboard to make the shapes of the moon phases. Much more sturdier and I love how wood looks. Definitely a must try DIY.

[@AlwynOak]

Yes I agree a really great way!! Especially if holding larger crystals. These cardboard ones are good for me as I really don't trust myself with a drill 😂🙈🍂🍁🎃

[@fernandezvanessa95]

Your voice is very soothing and I love the choice of music you picked !!! 🖤

[@jsjnet]

I love watching you Alwyn! You truly do make my day. I make myself a yummy tea and sit and watch and feel the inspiration and energy you give. You are truly helping me on my pagan path. Much love and light to you beautiful soul 💚🦉🐞🦋🌱🌷🍁🌿

[@victoriahades8310]

I want to get a shelf shaped like a coffin but I'll have drawers and stuff like that for to be my witchy space cuz I'm worth the the darker side of practice

[@AlwynOak]

I don't think it would be difficult to change the shape just need nice thick card for it to hold its place 😊 ✨🌳

[@arthurzackaryabrin]

I love the idea of the bureau altar!!! I'm trying to get my hand on a bureau myself and now I know what to do with it!!

[@darknessthehedgehog3]

Simply beautiful

[@jaynewilson6392]

Wonderful ideas Alwyn. I actually just purchased a bureau very like yours to be my altar. It's wood, so I don't have to paint it like you did. But you have certainly given me idea to decorate inside and around it.

[@cerachaos]

I love that shelf for an alter space, I'm going to manifest finding one of those
