Liz makes a dreamcatcher

I've seen plenty of dreamcatcher tutorials on the internet. One of my favorites is this one. I decided to try and replicate it with things I already had in the house.

For my version, you'll need:
-a macrame hoop
-yarn
-a crochet hook
-scissors
-craft feathers


I bought the macrame hoop a few months back at a craft store for $1.50, and the doily around the same time for a dollar or less. The craft feathers were originally on some hideous earrings.

Wrap some yarn or single crochet around the whole hoop. I chose to crochet, only because it doesn't get tangled nearly as easily.

 When finished, tie the start with the end in a double knot. Grab your doily. Make sure it's able to stretch a bit.

Place the doily in the center of the hoop and tie four corners, using double knots. Then stretch the rest of the doily, tying double knots as you go. The reason for doing this is creating even tension throughout.

Cut off your ties and tie some longer yarn around the bottom of the hoop.

Add a string to the top so it's able to hang. At this point, if you have craft feathers, tie them on as well.

Now it's ready to hang!

Now you have yourself a pretty simple dreamcatcher. I loved creating this, because there's no way I could really mess it up. You can add all sorts of things and be creative. Have fun and sweet dreams!

Love, Liz
