Big and small dream catchers
This is my very first dreamcatcher that I made, is about 5 inches in diameter.
My mother-n-law bought an dreamcatcher that had a wounded Indian in the center and mentioned that she would like to have one made with the Crimson tide mascot. So this is what I came up with from gestimation work. I gave it to her as a X-mas gift. It is about 20 inches in diameter, I think. These are actually quite easy to make.

Step 1This is what you will need.
-
Step 2First use a small dab of gel glue or hot glue to hold yarn/string to hoop while wrapping.
-
Step 3Then just continue to wrap around hoop tightly.
-
Step 4Cut and glue end of yarn/string to hoop at starting point.
-
Step 5Where the starting and ending point of the wrapping, use embroidery thread, I use DMC floss of contrasting color. Tie in double knot and cut off excess.
-
Step 6Depending the size of your hoop, you will have to gestimate how much floss you will need to do the weaving. Go from outside and behind loop with threaded floss and through hoop as shown.
-
Step 7Do this all the way around the hoop until you get back to starting point, making sure that the weaving is evenly spaced.
-
Step 8At starting point,thread through behind the first loop. and continue the previous step again all the way aroun
-
Step 9Continue step 8,again all the way around with the wrap directly in the center of the loop that you are weaving, and pull tightly. Use thumb and index finger to hold in place while weaving the next loop.
-
Step 10Go as far to the middle as you like with the weaving. At last loop that you weave, thread through the loop that you just weaved and pull tight to form a knot, then cut. Sorry guys, I tied the knot before I took a pic of it. Will try posting it later, of course I will have to make another dream catcher. Tiny knots are not so easy to get out.
-
Step 11Again depending on the size of your hoop, you can add as many strings, and as long as you want them for hanging your feathers. I only used 3 because this is a small hoop, BTW was only 50 cents at Hobby Lobby. Wrap around the inside weaving, tie in double knot and cut off excess.
-
Step 12I like to make sure that they are basicly all the same length.
-
Step 13Use floss (I used ribbon of contrasting color which you can too is you choose) to glue or tie to top of hoop.
-
Step 14Thread on beads add a dab of hot glue to end of string.
-
Step 15Quickly add 2 feathers to glue and slide beads down over feathers and glue. Be careful, remember the glue is hot or use the gel glue, which I have never tried for this step. Which is worse, burned fingers or ones that are glued together?

P.S. Burned fingers are worse. They hurt. Glued-together fingers are just entertaining.
