Dream Catcher

In Native American culture, a dream catcher is a handmade object based on a willow hoop, on which a loose net or web is woven. The dream catcher is then decorated with personal and sacred items such as feathers and beads.
To me a dream catcher is something pretty to hang on my wall.
So I made one myself.

It was really simple and a great gift idea. Each one is unique and nearly anything can be added to it i.e photos, ribbons, buttons.
I started off using and empty sellotape role and wrapping pretty wool around it.

 

The bigger the circle the better as it will spread the feathers out. I made some sort of  a net in the centre of both circles and attached feathers as so. I connected both using plaited wool.

Hang it over your bed or somewhere in your room to get rid of bad dreams!

I really love dream catchers and all things crafty. If you've made anything like this comment or add a link if you have a picture of it.

As you can see I have a wool collection because of the many times I've tried knitting. I've never been very succesful at it but this year I might give it another shot... maybe.

Happy Tuesday!
