Making a Dream Catcher

Little Red suffers from nightmares & night terrors.

To help him cope I decided to make him a dream catcher.

I told him if he had a nightmare and woke up

he was to throw it at the dream catcher 

and it would stay there and wouldn't come back.

We decided to make them together.

First we Collect feathers.

You can buy them but we decided to collect them.

Then we bought some memory wire

Then we fed beads onto the wire

 Once the beads were all on the hoop

I used some black electrical tape

to fasten the gap & attach the white yarn

It's then time to weave the yarn

to make the design of the web.

I used the instructions on the crystal links site

Once you've finished the web

tidy up your ends and attach a number of long pieces of yarn

Wrap the yarn round each feather attaching with cellotape.

And there you have your Dream Catcher.

If you don't have any beads you can always 

use yarn wrapped around the wire instead
