Elder Futhark Runes



I've been waiting all summer for the chestnuts to appear and now I'm really excited to finally have my own chestnut rune set.

If you wish to read more about runes, you can do so in my older post Elder Futhark Staves.

Items needed:



  • 24 small chestnuts



  • Pyrography tool kit


  • How to make it:

    1. Collect 24 chestnuts and let them dry.
