DIY a dream catcher


Hey there!

I just finished my first piece of a dream catcher.
I always want a dream catcher for a very long time ago.
I even tried to purchase a ready made dream catcher before this but they're super expensive for a dream catcher so I just forget it.

I choose to DIY my own, the only, and the specially custom-made (of course)  DREAM CATCHER! Yeay!

Below is the tutorial on how I make my own custom-made dream catcher.

Materials:

  • Hoop. I used the embroidery hoop that I got from DAISO. 15 cm in diameter
  • A Doily. You can just buy a ready made doily or knit it yourself. I knit it myself :) it was about 5 '' size.
  • Strings spool / yarn, yarn and yarn haha
  • Paper rope/ ribbons
  • Lace material, lace materials and lace materials or you can just use any fabris that you want
  • Feathers
  • Beads and small colourful bells
  • Handicraft glue or to be easier a strong glue





Instructions:
  1. Wrap around the entire hoop with a fabrics/ rope. I use  pink paper rope for mine.
  2. Finish wrapping the hoop by securing the fabrics with a glue and trim the remaining fabrics/ rope.
  3. Then, I use the doily that I knit before hand and using the yarn I weave the doily inside the hoop and add beads to it as I go on. Sorry I forgot to take picture for this. For the pattern of the doily I got it from Crafttown.com using pattern Snowflakes doily.
    This is how the snowflakes doily suppose to look like before I weave it
  4. After that, using the string spool, ribbons, lace materials, the excess paper rope that I have, I hang it down from the bottom of the dream catcher. You just fold the fabrics/ string in half and then create a simple loop and pull the fabric through. Do as many as you want and pick your combination of string, lace, ribbons that YOUR HEART DESIRE!
  5. To add on the embellishment, I take the beads and the small colourful bells and sew the thread in and secure with knots.
  6. It's time to hang the feathers. For the feathers, begin to wrap the long length of thread around the feathers and tie it securely. You can add on embellishment on the feather by adding beads etc.
DONE!

This is how my dream catcher looks like. It was super easy and took a short time to be done.


Hang it above the bed headboard!

So what do you think?
