DIY DREAM CATCHER

Send

The Native American talisman - a dream catcher - is designed to protect the sleeping person from unfriendly spirits. Terrible bad dreams cannot get through the web and get entangled in it, and good and bright dreams slip through the center of the catcher. The best place for the catcher is the place above the head. Such an amulet can be made by yourself. The main rule is to invest positive thoughts in your work.
We will need:
- the basis for the center of the catcher - according to the “recipe” of the Indians - a ring of willow branches, but you can also use the ring without a hoop for embroidery or any other plastic or metal ring;
- the basics for small rings;
- threads - mouline thread, woolen or cotton;
- scissors;
- needle - you can use a blunt needle for embroidery;
- feathers - decorative feathers are sold in sewing and needlework stores; pigeon feathers can also be used;
- beads and pendants for decoration.
Stages of Robots:
1. Prepare the rings for the dream catcher. First you need to choose how many small rings will be, what color of thread you need, as well as how they will be attached to the central ring of the catcher.

2. Take the center ring and braid it with threads, leaving a piece of thread to make a hook for fastening.

The threads should fit snugly together. Braid the ring clockwise. Fasten the ends of the threads.

Be sure to think about the good, invest only positive thoughts in your amulet.
3. Tie a new thread near the knot. After a couple of centimeters, wrap the thread around the hoop and slip it into the loop that has formed. Gently tighten. Similarly, weave the entire first row around the perimeter of the circle.

The second row, start the half-knot no longer on the hoop, but on the thread of the first row.

Continue until you fill the entire circle with a spider web. Weave a beautiful bead into the center and fasten the threads.

4. Using the same principle, prepare small rings. They can be the same or different size. The main thing is that they harmoniously look with the main hoop of the catcher.

5. You can also attach small pendants to the rings. Fasten the rings together. Some rings can be firmly attached to each other, while others can hang freely on a thread of the corresponding color.

6. Floss feathers and leave part of the thread in order to tie the feather to the catcher.

7. Check if the rings are firmly attached to each other, whether the pendants, feathers and beads are fixed. Feathers and pendants can be hooked at different levels so that the catcher looks beautiful in the wind.

The ancient Indians took seriously not only the materials of which the catcher was made, but also the colors that were used in the work. You can choose your favorite colors or use the data of color therapy.
Dreamcatcher is a great addition to your interior or an original gift to a loved one.
