A few weeks back I made a dream catcher. A few readers asked if I could show them how I made it, so, here is my attempt at a tutorial! First up weaving the web. 1. You'll need a hoop and some ribbon/thread/yarn on a bobbin. 2. Attach the ribbon securely to your hoop. 3. Take your ribbon over the top of the hoop... 4. and up through the loop you've just made with the ribbon... 5. so you have a cross over. 6. Continue steps 3-5 until you reach the knot. 7. Now instead of going over the hoop you will crossover the ribbon 8. and through the loop you've just made to give a crossover. Continue on in this fashion until you get to the middle. You need to leave a hole in the middle as this is where the good dreams get through! They then run down the tassels/feathers/any other hanging decoration and on to the owner. It should look something like this. You'll need to play around with your tension until you get a firm web. Now for the tassels - I like to

ReplyDeleteWhen I first saw the photo, I said "STUNNING." Then I read that Annie had the same response. I guess it's unanimous. They are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Is this in your garden and what type of flower? Love the bright yellow center and the little bit of white on the edge of the petals.
ReplyDeletePeace,

Teehee, no, a vase, there is nothing in the garden at the moment! They are some kind of chrysanthemum I think. They were stunning :) Thanks for stopping by x
