Dream catchers are a beautiful and meaningful addition to any living space. If you're looking for a DIY project, why not try making your own dream catcher from scratch? Here's a step-by-step guide on how to make a dream catcher:
Materials Needed:
- A hoop (traditional dream catchers use a willow hoop, but you can use any type of hoop)
- String, twine, or yarn
- Feathers
- Beads
- Scissors
Instructions:
-
Wrap the hoop: Begin by wrapping the string, twine, or yarn around the hoop. Make sure to wrap tightly and evenly, covering the entire hoop.
-
Create the web: Tie a knot at the top of the hoop and begin weaving the string in and out of the hoop, creating a web. Make sure to leave a hole in the center of the web.
-
Add the feathers: Tie the feathers onto the bottom of the dream catcher using the same string, twine, or yarn that you used to create the web. You can use as many feathers as you like, depending on the size of your dream catcher.
-
Add the beads: Thread the beads onto the string and tie them onto the web at various intervals.
-
Finish the dream catcher: Once you've added all of the feathers and beads, tie a loop of string onto the top of the dream catcher so that you can hang it.
And there you have it - your very own DIY dream catcher!
