Chase away bad dreams with this adorable and easy dreamcatcher craft for kids.
Make a hoop using 16-gauge craft wire or you can simply use a store-bought hoop for
the dreamcatcher.
Select a skein of yarn and tie a knot around the hoop without cutting the yarn from the skein.
Randomly wrap the yarn inside the hoop. Each time the yarn reaches the hoop band wrap it
around the hoop band once or twice on that spot to make sure that it stays still. Once you are satisfied with the random yarn pattern bring it to the band again and tie 2 tight knots. Cut off the extra yarn.
Grab a different colored yarn and similarly wrap it randomly inside the hoop.
Use 1 or 2 more different colored yarns for random wrapping.
Once the yarn wrapping is complete, grab some colorful pompoms and add
them around the hoop. Use the hot glue gun to attach the pompoms around the
dreamcatcher hoop.
Keep an even distance between the pompoms when gluing them around the hoop.
Determine a length for the yarn hanging on the dreamcatcher and cut a yarn strand of
double the required length. Fold it into half and attach it with the hoop by a loop knot.
Grab different colored yarn strands and attach them to the hoop.
Done attaching yarn? Use scissors to trim the bottom ends of the yarn.
You keep them straight or cut them into a triangular shape.
Now get the colored craft feathers and attach them on the open bottom
ends of the yarn hanging. You can select a few strands for adding the feathers
or you can add feathers to all of them however you want. Want to add more decorative items? Get creative!
