DIY Dream Catcher :'>

    



      Here i'am again with my another DIY segment , i'm really hesitant to post this DIY cause i think it's pretty simple to do!and i think you people will get bored so and Oh!  I'm planning to passed this Project for our school's " TRASH INTO TREASURE" the concept was to make something out of an recycle materials something you don't need and make it into something chic, trendy, and pretty of course, i like it because it gives me a boost to be creative and Take note it will really look good if you put it in your room as a Decor! OH lalala >3

So Here's what you need! XD!
What you'll need to get started: 
  • a few pliable twigs/vines to form the dreamcatcher itself
  • 4-6 feet of thin strong string- I used embroidery floss
  • a bead (for the "spider" in the dreamcatcher) 
  • a page of cardstock or poster board for the "feathers"
  • paint, or colorful decorating medium of choice!
  • scissors
  • craft glue
STEPS :3
1. Cut 8 ft. of the suede lacing. Glue one end of the lacing to the ring. Wrap the suede lacing around the ring until you reach the starting point again. Be careful not to twist the lacing. Glue the end of the lacing to the ring. Hold it in place with a clothespin until the glue dries (Figure 1).
2. To make the web, tie one end of the imitation sinew to the ring (Figure 2). Make nine half hitch knots around the ring spacing them about 1-1/2" apart (Figure 3). Make the last hitch a little closer to the first knot as this prevents a large gap from forming. Keep the thread pulled snug between the knots.
3. Begin the next row of the web in the middle of the thread that you have already woven on row 1. (Figure 4). Continue weaving in the same way until you have a small hole left in the center. Tie a double knot in the cord, add a tiny drop of glue to the knot and cut off remaining thread when dry. (Figures 5 & 6).



4. To make the loop to hang your Dream Catcher, use a 12" piece of suede lacing. Fold it in half and tie a knot in the open end. At the top of the ring, attach the lacing by slipping the loop end through the ring and then around the ring and over the knot. Pull the lacing tight to secure it in place.
5. To make the hanging sections, cut three 8" pieces of suede Tie two 8" pieces of suede lacing about one third of the way up each side of the ring using a double knot. Slip 3 colored pony beads onto each piece of lacing and secure with a knot.
6. Using the last 8" piece of lacing to attach small concho to top middle of the ring. Slip three pony beads onto each piece of lacing.
7. Finally, push two feathers up inside the beads on each piece of lacing except the one hanging from the concho. Glue the feathers if they are loose. The last 4 feathers are attached 2 each side of the concho.

To make larger sizes: 12 inch rings needs approx. 7 yds of 1/8 suede lacing to bind it 9 inch ring - 6 yds 6 inch ring - 4 yds Remember that you will need extra suede for the laces and hanger. )
Here's how mine looks :3 pretty awesome for a beginner isn't it? 
With a Vintage effect :3 

     THIS IS JUST ONE WAY TO MAKE DREAMCATCHERS. I MAKE MANY DIFFERENT STYLES, AND NO TWO EVER LOOK EXACTLY THE SAME. BE CREATIVE, AND SEE HOW MANY DIFFERENT ONES YOU CAN MAKE :3
