How to make a DIY Dream Catcher?

Start off by cutting the wire using your wire cutters to cut a piece of wire about 12 inches long. Shape your wire into a round circle. If you’re having trouble shaping it into a perfect circle, you can find a round object such as a small pot or vase. Then with your pliers, bend back the ends of the wire to form a latch. Cut a piece of ribbon approximately 2 yards long. Tie it to your round wire frame with a secure knot. Wrap the ribbon around the wire frame until you have gone all the way around. Tie off your ribbon with a loop on the end. This will serve as a hanger for your dream catcher. Measure and cut a piece of string that is about 3 yards in length. Tie the end securely to your circular wire frame. Working clockwise, stretch the string to a spot a few inches down the wire frame and loop it around the frame. Stretch the string a few inches to the right and loop it around the frame again. Continue making loops that are evenly spaced apart until you reach the beginning. The thread between the looped peaks should be slightly loose. It will be pulled tight as you continue weaving. Once you have gone all the way around the wire frame, take the end of the string and weave it under the loop created between the first and second looped peaks. Make a “hitch” by using the thread to make a loop over the loose string. After making the first hitch, make another hitch at the thread between the second and third knots. Continue weaving the thread in this manner until you have made a hitch at the thread between every knot. As a special touch, you can add beads between the hitches. Now to add some decorative elements. Take a few feathers and tie them together with a piece of string.
