Halloween Dream Catcher

I am obsessed with dream catchers! I have about seven hanging over my bed and I even have a tattoo of a dream catcher. So I thought it would be a great idea to make my own dream catcher with a Halloween theme. It was my first time making one and it was even easier than I thought!This craft was also an inexpensive one, only costing about $10 to make and I got all of my materials at Hobby Lobby. Hope you enjoy making one as much as I did!

Final Product:

Materials:
- metal ring- any size you choose
- Suede lace- I used black
- Feathers
- Foam spiders
- Decorative letters
- Hemp
-Super glue

also an extra set of hands wouldn't hurt

Steps:

Step1: Start with the metal ring and the suede lace and begin to wrap the lace around the metal rings as tightly as possible.

(This was the most difficult part of the project. I had to recruit my boyfriend to help me with this step. He held the beginning of the suede lace to the metal ring as I wrapped it, which made it so much easier to wrap)

Step 2: Once you have wrapped the suede completely around the metal ring, tie the two ends of the suede together.

Step 3: Use hemp to make the inside web of your dream catcher. Measure out about 5 to 5 1/2 feet of the hemp and make a knot on the suede ring. Make another knot about an inch and 1/2 to the right of the first knot. Continue to make more knots (about seven or eight) until you reach your first knot.

Step 4: Continue to make knots on the loops of thread from the first round of webbing until you have a small hole left in the middle. Tie off the hemp and cut off any excess.

Step 5: Cut two pieces of suede at identical lengths (about 1 1/2 feet) and one piece that is about three or four inches shorter. Fold the pieces in half. Loop the pieces of suede at the bottom of the ring (the shortest piece in the middle).

Step 6: Glue a feather to every other strand of suede hanging from the dream catcher and glue decorative letters to the rest (mine spelled out EEK)

Step 7: Glue the foam spiders randomly on the dream catcher(both the ring and strands).

Step 8: Tie a small piece of hemp to the top of the dream catcher, making a small loop so it can be hung on the wall for Halloween!
