Goblincore is a subculture that celebrates all things goblin-like, such as mossy rocks and mushrooms, tattered clothing, and pieces of jewelry that have been scavenged or repurposed. They are usually associated with the fantasy genre, often depicted as green-skinned, vicious creatures that live in caves and forests.
If you’re looking to add some goblincore flair to your wardrobe, why not try crafting your own jewelry and accessories inspired by these mythical creatures? With a little creativity and some help from nature, you can make unique pieces that are bound to catch the eye of any goblin enthusiast.
A great place to start is with natural elements like stones, moss, and fungi. Look for pieces that have interesting textures, such as lichens or bark, and that are small enough to be used as a pendant or charm. You can also collect small bits of moss or mushrooms to add to a piece, but make sure not to take too much from the environment, as this can harm the ecosystem.
Next, you’ll need some basic jewelry-making supplies, such as wire, pliers, and jump rings. Choose wire in different gauges and colors to add variety to your creations. You can also use leather or other materials to create corded bracelets or necklaces.
To make a simple necklace, start by selecting a stone or piece of moss that you want to use as a pendant. Wrap wire around the stone a few times, leaving a long tail of wire at the top. Form a loop at the top using the tail and attach a jump ring to the loop. Thread a cord or chain through the jump ring and your necklace is ready to wear!
For a more intricate piece, try creating a wire-wrapped pendant using multiple stones or elements. You can also add beads or charms to your design for extra flair. To create a wire-wrapped pendant, start by wrapping wire around your chosen elements, creating a small loop at the top for attaching a jump ring. Continue wrapping the wire around the elements until you have a secure, decorative design. Add jump rings and a chain or cord to complete the pendant.
Another fun project is creating goblin-like earrings using wire and found objects. Collect small bits of twigs, feathers, or discarded items like bottle caps or scraps of fabric. Wrap wire around the object, securing it in place and creating a loop at the top for attaching to an earring hook. Add any additional decorations you like, such as beads or charms.
Crafting your own goblin-inspired jewelry and accessories is a great way to express your unique style and show your love for all things goblincore. By using natural elements and your imagination, you can create pieces that are truly one-of-a-kind and showcase your creativity. So go ahead and let your inner goblin shine!
