Making a Dream Catcher

I’ve been seeing a lot of dream catchers around and I have been having the urge of getting one for my room and by kiddo’s rooms. However, they can be a little price and I decided to try my hand at making one! I got very lucky one day going to see my friend at her house and I saw that they were having garage sale and decided to pop in and the loveliest lady had the cutest crochet dollies for a $1 each. I just needed to have them and I knew exactly I was going to use them for, after a quick wash I got to work.

I first purchased a 10 inch embroidery hoop, found at any craft store and wrapped around white muslin strips. I did this with both parts of the hoop.

I then centered the doily on the embroidery hoop as best I could and closed the hoop. The fit was very tight due to the muslin being wrapped around the hoop so it will take some gentle push to get in to close.

After that I place strands of lace at the bottom of the hoop. I have to say that the most expensive part of this hoop was buying the lace, hehe.  However, I do think that the lace helps make the piece.

Now I have my every own dream catcher! I still think its missing something and I might add some piece of jewelry to see if that helps but for now I have one of kind dream catcher.
