Craft: Dream Catcher

0

YOU’LL NEED:

  • PAPER PLATE
  • YARN
  • BEADS
  • FEATHERS
  • HOLE PUNCH
  • STICKY TAPE
  • SCISSORS

WHAT TO DO:

[dropcap]1[/dropcap] Cut the inside part of your paper plate out so that you’re left with a ring.

[dropcap]2[/dropcap] Use the punch to put holes in the ring – spaced apart. (Note: we didn’t measure perfectly and think it looks great!)

[dropcap]3[/dropcap] Cut a measure of yarn and start from underneath the ring taping the end of the yarn down.

[dropcap]4a[/dropcap] Weave the yarn back and forth being careful not to go over the outside of the ring, but keeping the weaves to the inside.

[dropcap]4b[/dropcap] Add a bead very now and then. (Pull yarn tight – but not too tight or the edged of the ring will curl.) When finished weaving, sticky tape end down underneath.

[dropcap]5[/dropcap] If you choose, wrap yarn, (not to tightly), around entire outside of ring affixing ends with sticky tape. Alternatively, use textas or stickers to decorate the ring.

[dropcap]6[/dropcap] Cut 3 lengths of yarn, make a double knot at the end, and add beads, sequins, feathers or shapes.

[dropcap]7[/dropcap] Sticky tape the three ends to the back of the ring. (Just push the yarn to the side and tape underneath if you’ve wrapped the entire ring.)

[dropcap]8[/dropcap] To hang – add another shorter length of yarn to the top of the dream catcher.
