Manufacturing rules
Making a horseshoe amulet with your own hands is a completely feasible desire. There are many master classes on how to make it. The most interesting of them are presented below. Handicraft masters willingly share ideas for crafts designed to attract success and good luck. The materials used are very different: from simple cardboard to salt dough, wood and newspaper tubes.
How to make a talisman for yourself
It is believed that you cannot make an effective amulet for yourself. Only a close person, a devoted friend, who has invested his energy of love and a charge of positivity into a craft, will make a strong talisman for you, guided by the desire to bring happiness.
When creating a talisman, craftsmen follow simple rules:
- the material is chosen that is suitable for the character of the person for whom the gift is intended;
- the craft is created with mental wishes for goodness and peace for the home;
- the closer the person is to you, the more powerful the impact of the lucky symbol will be;
- only a good mood and sincere faith are the real guarantees that the souvenir will work;
- you can’t beg for it—it’s important to receive it from the heart, and not because of a momentary whim or caprice.
A self-made craft is placed in one’s home when one wishes good things to members of the household—children, parents, brothers or sisters.
Complementation with other symbols
Decorating a craft with various details not only makes it decorative, but also adds meaning. Flowers, fruits and seeds represent feelings or character traits, so they are used to create souvenirs filled with hidden wishes.
Meaning of plant symbols:
- corn - fertility, fertility, many children;
- laurel leaves - glory, success;
- apples - love, joy;
- bread - peace and prosperity;
- nuts - intelligence, intelligence;
- red pepper - hot love;
- beans - prosperity;
- garlic, onion - protection, health;
- fir cones - hard work;
- sunflowers - calm, warmth;
- berries - good harvest;
- poppy heads - fulfillment of desires;
- clover leaf - good luck.
By decorating with coins, the craft is charged with wealth. The image of a broom will also bring prosperity; such a talisman will also save you from quarrels and scandals. Small bast shoes are a symbol of coziness and comfort in the home.
What materials can be used
The character of the person for whom the amulet is made and its purpose in everyday life determines the choice of materials. Cardboard is suitable for refrigerator magnets, topiaries, and it is better to make pendants from heavy and dense raw materials.
More significant crafts are made from salt dough and wood - men and young men enjoy them. Decorative pendants are made from newspaper tubes; their wicker surface will fit perfectly into the interior of the kitchen. A souvenir made of paper, dough, wood, jute twine will bring the natural positive energy of plants into the house.

Then use glue to add the remaining parts.
We form a brownie.
And all parts of the body.
You can still place symbols in your hands.
Cut a small piece from an old hat or fur coat for a beard.
All that remains is to paint and dry our souvenir, and everything is ready.
How to position a horseshoe
How the amulet will work depends on how it is placed. The debate on this issue continues endlessly. This nuance can be explained by the fact that the beliefs of different peoples are different.
In Europe, it is customary to hang a horseshoe outside the house with the legs down. Europeans believe that this way luck will fall on the head of the person entering.
In the United Kingdom and the East, the ends point upward, believing that in this way happiness will accumulate. Place the amulet inside the home.
Speaking of Mexico, there are no strict directional guidelines in this state. But among Mexicans it is unacceptable to take a talisman in your hands.
In our country, depending on the purpose of the talisman, both placement options are used.
The horseshoe is hung with the ends down outside the apartment or private house, strictly above the door. It protects the home from the evil eye, evil and witchcraft. Located in an unusual place, the amulet draws attention to itself, causing envious people to be surprised, thereby preventing harm to the home. In addition, people who believe in mysticism claim that this way the horns will prick the evil eye and the evil person will not be able to even look at the house.
If they want the house to be a full cup, then the amulet is nailed inside the house above the door with the horns facing up. Any inclination is not permissible - because this is how happiness will spill out. A horseshoe placed in this way is a guarantor of the accumulation and preservation of good luck, love and happiness. She will not let the positive out of the home. The location above the fireplace or sleeping place is also appropriate. The owner must nail the horseshoe personally, using only one nail. Moreover, it should neither warp nor fall. There is an opinion that if the head of a family can reliably install a talisman, then he is a good business executive.
The above rules also apply to talismans made by yourself.
