I got the idea because my friend's bday is comin nd she likes bears. Happy b-day martha. I was also to lazy to go to Miachel's craft store so i used what ever i had in my house. You don't necessarily have to use a bear, you can use any shape, like a heart, star, etc.

Instructions

    fix the paperclip into the shape of a bear. use one of them as the top of teh head,the ears, and the bottom for the face. use the plyers if needed...

  2. Small 1326687909903

    Glue the begining of your first choice of yarn, to the top of the head, and do it again in 1 cm of the string to make a hole for the string of the necklace to go in...

  3. Small 1326688865143

    use the gluegun to connect both sides of the paperclips together forming the entire face...

  4. Small 1326690092724

    use the same color of string all around the paperclip to outline the bear. sorry about the corner. i got a bit messy with the glue gun...

  5. Small 1326690230129

    use your second color of yarn to make the inside of the dream catcher.i used the same color cuz i cudnt find another color. tie a knot on one corner of the ear and then go under to the other corner...

  6. Small 1326690241898

    then go from under to over as shown...

  7. Small 1326690324246

    then go upward...

  8. Small 1326690352576

    then you go inside the hole and come back out through the inside of the bear...

  9. Small 1326690566498

    then you go around the next part of the bearand do a over and under loop of the paperclip nd take it out from the inside of the hole...

  10. Small 1326690790535

    do the same steps all the way around till u get bak to where u started. finish it up with a over-under loop...

  11. Small 1326691077059

    now u go to the middle of the first loop around the ear.and do a loop like the first 1 but this time its a under-over loop ...

  12. Small 1326691173723

  13. Small 1326691543709

    sorry bout the blurry pic but after ur done do it again but this time make it over-under.continue this pattern 2 more times.(rmember, after u do a row you go over-under then under-over or visa-versa)...

  14. Small 1326695785958

    Sorry bout the color change but i found the wite color after. XD! make sure to try to keep it tight and pull on it to keep it in shape. tie a knot to one of the strings...

  19. Small 1326696279456

  20. Small 1326697225345

    next tie it to the dream catcher. you can put as many feathers as you want. i also put an extra bead in the middle feather to give it more detail...

  21. Small 1326697316601

    now measure the length that you want the necklace to be. you can use any other string for this part. fold it in half and insert the side with the loop throught the loop you made in step 2...
