Dream Catcher

Instructions

• 

  Step 1

  Take your branch and bend it into a circle. Then tie the ends together with string.

• 

  Step 2

  OPTIONAL: Use varnish on the string to assure a strong hold. (I like to use clear nail polish instead).

• 

  Step 3

  Attach new string, and begin looping it completely around the branch. Please note: traditionally, sinew is used instead of string.

• 

  Step 4

  Pass the string through the first row of loops as shown. Continue this pattern until you are near the center.

• 

  Step 5

  As you close in on the center, add beads to your dream catcher.

• 

  Step 6

  Double knot the string when you have about a 2 inch diameter of empty space in the center.

• 

  Step 7

  Tie string to the bottom-center of the dream catcher, and string beads and/or feathers onto it.

• 

  Step 8

  Finally, attach a loop of string to the top of the dream catcher, and it's ready for hanging!
