Materials

Requirements

  • 2 peices reflective material Red and Round (eyes)
  • 1 base clothing to carry the medallion sliver chain is a classic

Creative Alternatives

  • 2 Reflective buttons
  • 2 Bicycle/automotive reflectors red, circular
  • 2 Safety supports black
  • 1 black pipecleaners antennae!

Instructions

  • First step is to collect your ingredients the classics like these pendants and necklaces can be found at your local crafts store. Silver Chain like this one is a classic, But I've found it can be uncomfortable.
  • red and round eye components are critical! to allow the mothmagic to work it needs to already look like mothman's eyes!
  • My initial test used these beautiful Rubies, but to poor effect. The construction adhesive on the back limited their effectiveness.
  • The initial enchantment didn't work so well. Even gemstones weren't bright enough for the mothman's spell to work.
    Initial test medallion
  • Gemini had a lot of trouble until I found these at the dollar store. These are the most reflective things I could find (that still look like mothman's compound eyes).

  • With a little work from my trusty sewing kit I was able to attach these to a much more comfortable base.
  • Gemini will wear these young sporty vests which were a perfect fit for the mothman medallions.

  • With a little bit of hard work from the sewing kit, the final product is ready for enchantment!
  • With your medallions enchanted you are ready to hit the road! Day or night walk or bike the moth man protects you. Gemini has been saying people are steering very clear of her now that she wears her medallions proudly.

Notes

The key to this potential witchcraft is that we don't need an exact medallion to receive the Mothman's enchantment, we can DIY our own!
Wear this on long rides in the night and you will be protected from vehicles and collisions! Who cares if the Man takes away your drivers' license! You can't be stopped with the supernatural protection of the Mothman!
