Free Tarot Card Bag Patterns: Crochet/Knit/Sew

Tarot cards are a staple for any witch interested in fortune-telling. In addition, there are so many different styles and designs nowadays which also can make them decorative pieces. I like to use tarot to decorate my altar during the Sabbats. For example, during Beltaine (my favourite celebration) I have the The Emperor and Empress on either side of my altar. The main candle in the middle with tealights either side and an assortment of pink quartz and flowers that are currently in bloom.

Anyway, once you have finished reading the cards or using them for other magic, it’s nice to have a nice safe place to store them. And there’s nothing better than a tarot bag, handmade by you! Here I will show you a selection of sewing, crochet and knitting projects to try. Happy crafting! Use the buttons above to jump straight to your preferred craft.
