  Step 1

  Collect all of your materials. I got all of mine from my backyard and around my house.

• 

  Step 2

  Take the grapevine and cut all of the leafs and stems off.

• 

  Step 3

  Take the grapevine and bend it into a circle, any size. Twist the remaining vine around itself.

• 

  Step 4

  Continue adding more and more vine to the circle.

• 

  Step 5

  It should look like this when you are done and should hold quite well.

• 

  Step 6

  Using hemp or any other kind of string(I used green hemp for this one), tie a knot. It's hard to tell how much string you are going to need so just cut a long piece, you can always add more on later.

• 

  Step 7

  From the knotted part, loop the string over the top and across.

• 

  Step 8

  Continue to make these loops about every inch or so.

• 

  Step 9

  When you have went all the way around it should look like this.

• 

  Step 10

  From here you are going to take the string and loop it through the first loop in the beginning. The knot will be the same thing as step 7.

• 

  Step 11

  Like this...

• 

  Step 12

  Continue to do the same thing.

• 

  Step 13

  It should begin to build up like this.

• 

  Step 14

  When you are done, knot the end and cut off the rest of the string.

• 

  Step 15

  Add string on the bottom to add feathers and other stuff. I also added string at the top so I could hang up my dreamcatcher.

• 

  Step 16

  Decorate the dreamcatcher anyway you want! (I used beads, feathers and swirly vines.)

• 

  Step 17

  The dreamcatcher is still fragile at this point. It will take a while to dry, but just hang it up and let it catch your bad dreams.

woah awesome, i made a dreamcatcher once when i was like 11 but i used a too small embroidery ring so it looked weird but i've never thought of using vines, that's such a good idea!! maybe if i make more they will really catch bad dreams.. i have 3 above my bed already but it doesn't seem to work ;(
