  Step 1

  Cut a length of jewelry wire (I used 20 gauge). This will be wrapped around the loop of the dream catcher so make sure it is decently long.

• 

  Step 2

  Begin weaving the wire around the loop until you've gone all the way around. You can use your hands for this but I recommended using jewelry pliers.

• 

  Step 3

  Once you've finished going all the way around, cut off the the extra wire and pinch it with your plies so it lays flat.

• 

  Step 4

  Now attach a thinner wire by wrapping it around the top a few times. Be sure to leave a tail at the top long enough to make a loop on for later.

• 

  Step 5

  You will now be tying the wire like you do a dream catcher- looping the wire around points along the border. My points were a little less than an inch apart. Do this all the way around.

• 

  Step 6

  This is what your dream catcher should look like so far. You may have more or less knots than I do depending on the distance of your knots and the size of your hoop, but something like this.

• 

  Step 7

  Using the same looping method, you'll continue looping the wire through the spaces between the previous loops instead of the border hoop.

• 

  Step 8

  It should start looking like this. Continue this in a spiral all the way around.

• 

  Step 9

  You can occasionally thread a bead onto the wire for decoration.

• 

  Step 10

  Once your dream catcher starts to look like a net and you still have a little hole in the middle (for the good dreams to pass through, of course) it is about time to finish it off.

• 

  Step 11

  Thread on a small feather bead or pendant...

• 

  Step 12

  ...and wrap the wire around a few times in the back to knot it off. Cut off extra wire and pinch to secure.

• 

  Step 13

  Make a loop on the top of the hoop using the tail you left at the beginning. Add on a jump ring.

• 

  Step 14

  Next, grab 3 jump rings and cut 3 lengths of chain around an inch long.

• 

  Step 15

  Open a jump ring and attach it along the bottom of the dream catcher. Hook on one of the chains that you just cut and close the jump ring.

• 

  Step 16

  Repeat the process 2 more times so all three chains hang along the bottom of the dream catcher.

• 

  Step 17

  Cut some wire and make a hoop on one end to create an eye pin.

• 

  Step 18

  Thread on one of the assorted beads and then create another loop on top.

• 

  Step 19

  Attach a feather bead to the bottom loop.

• 

  Step 20

  Repeat 2 more times with assorted beads.

• 

  Step 21

  Attach the three pieces you just made to each of the dangling chains using the top loop. Now the pendant is done.

• 

  Step 22

  Cut some chain to the length you want your necklace and then thread it through the jump ring on the top of the pendant.

• 

  Step 23

  Attach a clasp to the open ends of the chain using jump rings.

• 

  Step 24

  Wear your new dream catcher with pride :)
