Once you are back to the beginning, we are going to start using the small crochet hook. Use the hook to pull the cotton through each of the wraps around. Now you’re back at the start, we are going to pull the cotton through each of these stitches. This will start to form your symmetrical woven catcher. Repeat this and continue pulling the yarn through each stitch. Be sure to pull the cotton tight and you will start to see the catcher being formed. Keep doing this until you get to the centre. Pull tight, and tie it off. I used a small amount of craft glue to stick down the very end to keep it neat. You’ve done the hard part! Now for the fun bit. Decide the length you wish to make your dreamcatcher tail (the bottom bit). Double it, cut and tie it to your hoop. I try to make the tail longer in the middle and shorter to the ends, because I think it looks nice, but you can do whatever you like. Go crazy. Get creative. I love sewing buttons, fake flowers and beads on to my dream catchers, to make them that bit more special. But this is totally optional! If you have any questions or comments, get in touch below.
Wrap your string around the bottom of the horseshoe once or twice to give yourself extra loops for weaving. Once you've gone all the way around the horseshoe, you need to loop over the top string and begin looping through each middle of the previous loops you made. Continue looping - slowly weaving the circle smaller and smaller. As the circle gets smaller, pull and tighten the string to keep your web tidy. Decide how small or large you want the center hole. Need Thread & Wire, Pick one or two beads and string onto your line. Continue to loop through the middle of each loop. When you have the desired amount of beads, tie it off. To tie it off, end on a loop and knot where the circle looks somewhat uniform. Pull the string tight and tie a knot. A double knot works best. Trim the remaining string and your web is complete.
This is my favorite part. First you bead and then you feather. Choose how many strings you want to dangle from your dream catcher and tie them off to the loops on the backside of your dream catcher. I like to keep mine pretty simple and just tied four. I tied them all different lengths. Need some feathers and beads for your project, Beading is easy when you have super thin string. But if your sting is a little thicker like mine, its easier to bead them onto thin wire first and pull your string through the end and slide your beads onto your string. Be as creative as you like with your beads. Do patterns or go random. Tie knots in your string to keep your beads at different lengths. Adding feathers is the easiest step. Grab a feather and slide the end piece into a bead and push down over a knot to secure. Add as many feathers as you want. The more beads you add the more feathers you can add. Tie a small piece of string to each side of your horseshoe top to make a hanger. BE CREATIVE. THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS.
We'll start with the simple one. Take your plastic lids, punch a little hole to get you started with the scissors and then cut out the inside. Our lids were about 5 inches in diameter. You don't want to go with a really large lid as it won't be stable when you cut out the middle. I took a toilet paper roll and squished it. You can use a piece of cardboard. Start your wool by laying it lengthwise on the cardboard and then wind around it width wise. Start winding the ring with wool or yarn. When you come around catch the loose end. When you get to the end tie off the yarn with a knot and clip the end. Now you are going to make the web. Cut a length of string. For the simple star pattern you only need to cut a string about 24 inches. Place a bead in your Dreamcatcher to be the spider or the spirit bead. Tie off the string when you have finished the design. If you want you can make a double star at this point.
