Dreamcatcher

I have always wanted to make/have a dream catcher, but I never had anything to use as the base because I didn’t want to use a twig. So, I have come up with this! All the supplies you need to make this awesome dream catcher are:

• hot glue gun and 2-3 glue sticks, a twig, a metal hoop, or a preserved twig(PICK ONE)
• scissors
• feathers
• string
• paint
• hot glue gun
• beads
• wax paper or magazine



First,(If using hot glue for "twig" part do following, otherwise skip this step) get the magazine and have your glue gun heated, get something that is the size of a circle or free hand draw a circle and trace line with glue. Make the width about half an inch or so. Let the glue dry and peel off, if you used a magazine its ok if it doesn't come off, just peel off as best as can, that will become the back. Then paint it brown, or of you want to make it a little funky paint it a different color like yellow, purple, pink, blue, etc.

If using a twig, read this step, if not skip it. Bend the twig to make a circle and use a this wire at ends to secure it. (wrap around both ends trying to connect otherwise just glue it)

If you have a metal hoop, just paint it brown or a different color to make a sorta funky dream catcher.

Next, you might want to pick a front and back, you don't have to though. Get any colored string, twine, or yarn and knot at one end leaving a "tail" to tie the dream catcher onto. Make a pattern with string, make one up or look one up(sorry I don't have a pattern)While you do the pattern add beads and/or make knots.

Then, get your feathers and you add another string on one side at the bottom, add a bead or two then tie or glue on a feather. Go to the middle and if you want just do one bead or vice-versa. Lastly, do the other side. Also, if you don't cut the string at the feather and let it keep going a little, add one or two beads. Use feathers you found or bought, or craft feathers(which are bought).

Finally tie your finished dream catcher somewhere near your bed! Sweet dreams!
