How To Make Omamori-shaped Lucky Charms DIY

I teach you how to DIY omamori lucky amulets, which are tokens usually purchased at Shinto Shrines or Buddhist Temples. They're made with brocade usually, and I'll be making them with fabric. You can put rice inside, ofuda, which are paper talismans, or other sorts of lucky items that might bring you luck. Don't open them if you receive one from someone else, as the charm will no longer work!
I listed glue as a material, as some omamori feature ofuda glued to the outside. I didn't do that this time, as I prefer to place them inside.
Different omamori have different meanings, so imbue each one you make with a different intention, be it luck while driving or studying.
This DIY project is great to do in an hour, and is perfect if you're bored.

Thank you for this tutorial, I wanted to make my own charm, but only had seen written tutorials(which only help so much) but then I found yours! I will be using this soon, so thank you very much! And your knot demonstration works really well.

[@peachizashi]

Thank you!! The way I go about making them is super unofficial, so please feel free to change accordingly :))

[@totoro3624]

where can I find inside charma for protection from evil and can I just print them out? (I want it to actually work)

[@peachizashi]

I have added a .jpg file on my ko-fi, you can check it out here! ko-fi.com/milkytart

[@chipsfreak12]

I think I have an alternative for the stuffing - I took a cotton pad and splitted it in two (like you do with chocolate filled biscuits to eat the inside first) then I took the most fluffy parts and stuffed the omamori. Works fine, I would say.

[@peachizashi]

Oh nice! I like that idea!

[@LalaiSison]

Did u do anything on the omamori after you made it? I mean like a prayer or bless it or something?

[@peachizashi]

I didn't actually--

[@hichrishere7589]

HAHA NOW I CAN MAKE ONE FOR MONIKA >:D

[@akaweeb5835]

OMG so I'm not the only one who is here bcs of Monika? ")))

[@peachizashi]

omg i literally had to look this up and now I'm scared lmfao

[@throw_out_ur_milk_hun724]

Do you know were i can print or buy a specific charm for school or exams? Thanks! Plus your knot demonstration is very clear and helpful.

[@peachizashi]

Sorry for the late response, do you mean specific paper charms? I think maybe searching for the specific one you want might come up as like love, peace, school, etc but I'm not sure if you mean the inside charm or a completed charm?

[@engyoko6021]

Hi where can we get the ofuda like yours in your video?

[@peachizashi]

Hello! I have added a jpg file on my ko-fi, check it out here! ko-fi.com/milkytart

[@peachizashi]

If you're looking for printable image of ofuda (the talismans) you can find it on my ko-fi page here: ko-fi.com/milkytart Thanks and I appreciate your interest in making omamori with me!

[@vilostrike2187]

This is awesome, the instructions are so clear, how I have never seen this, I do not know. Thank you for making this tutorial. 😁

[@peachizashi]

Of course!!

[@Scout1543]

I'd make one for my camera and put Henri Cartier-Bresson's name in it hahaha

[@peachizashi]

I love street photography... I will probably upload a lookbook of all my photos when I get my film developed!

[@Scout1543]

@@peachizashi Subscribing to see your photo's. I'd love to see your work

[@peachizashi]

@@Scout1543 Thank you so much!! I'm planning to have at least one roll of film developed this month so I'm excited to share it!

[@gabbergalhits1662]

OMG THANK YOU. I have watched so many videos and always screw up the knot. This is the first time I have been able to do it!!!!

[@peachizashi]

Yay!!! Thanks for watching!! Sorry for late reply!

[@asteria5634]

If you made your own omamori where can I dispose it? I search it on Google and it expires within ang year and need to dispose where you bought it

[@peachizashi]

Margaret Not sure- I like to keep mine even if they “expire” I think they look great as bookmarks or as decoration!

[@2d-kun615]

Is there any specific size for the fabric?

[@peachizashi]

Sorry for late response, it depends on how big you want your charm! Print size of the pattern also matters.

[@HyeJin13]

And where does this brimg luck ? the insidd ofuda is just one on this website ?

[@peachizashi]

Honestly I don't know enough about this to give a concrete answer because I think there's a lot of cultural context and nuance for these kinds of amulets. in general it does bring luck though!

[@raniammalkanagasabapathy2514]

What can I use instead of nylon thread??

[@peachizashi]

You can use any sort of silk cording, anything that's semi sturdy and at least 1mm thick!

[@fatimah2092]

thank you so much and your cat is so adorable!

[@peachizashi]

Thank you- it's my roomie's cat, or ex roomie haha

[@tuputoamo814]

What does the paper inside say?

[@peachizashi]

tbh it has been so long since I printed these that I don't even remember lmfafooo sorry!! you can look up ofuda and it might show tho on google

[@vaguedecay]

At what time would the ofuda go inside? Is it possible to write the ofuda directly onto the cardboard, or must they be two separate entities? Also, is cotton as stuffing required or could one stuff it with, say, fabric scraps? Great tutorial, by the way.

[@peachizashi]

You can use fabric scraps, anything that's small enough to not be lumpy. And the ofuda goes inside when you're stuffing the stuffing/fabric scrap. You can write the ofuda on the cardboard if you want but I prefer like little paper strips because they're cuter haha

[@lunatalia9109]

Is it okay if the Ofuda isn't blessed by a priest/shrine maiden?

[@peachizashi]

I honestly don't even know-- i just kind of made it as a craft!

[@miylescheesman8883]

What do the little paper ofuda parts say/mean??

[@peachizashi]

I actually don't remember!! So sorry! I think if you google ofuda there might be some descriptions online!

[@MoonSpaceTarot]

Where do I get more ofudas? 🥺

[@peachizashi]

Little One You can look on my kofi page!

[@sarah_9761]

I'm so thankful for this diy. Thank u so much 😊

[@peachizashi]

you're welcome!!

[@minyoonji1512]

Can I know what type of thread you used for the knot?

[@ВиолеттаСветлых]

Try searching for 'nylon cord', quite similar

[@peachizashi]

Yep! It's nylon cording, I think this was leftover really cheap off the shelf at michaels!

[@Mhieu5]

Thank you for tutorial

[@peachizashi]

of course!! Sorry for late reply!
