Dream catchers were made by Native Americans to catch bad
dreams.
Supplies:
Embroidery Hoop, any size, mine is 6”
Fabric torn into 1” strips
2 Pieces of felt 2” x 5”
6 strand embroidery floss
Assorted beads and buttons
Glue or needle and thread
Instructions
1. Start at wrapping the hoop with the strips of fabric.
When one ends, overlap it with the next strip and keep wrapping. When you get
back to where you started, wrap the fabric several times. Glue or stitch the
end in place.
2. Take the embroidery floss and tie in a knot around the
hoop. Stretch the floss across to the
other side of the hoop and wrap the floss a few times to secure. Continue
stretching and wrapping the floss around the hoop. Stop every now and then to
string on a bead or a button.
3. Cut out two feather shapes approximately 3" tall. Cut slits up each side to create fringe.
4. Take approximately a yard of floss, Tie it around the
hoop at the bottom of the catcher leaving equal amounts of floss on each side
of the hoop.
5. String a couple beads onto each of the ends of
floss. Trim the floss to where you would
like it to end and tie a feather to each of the ends.

I don't see the feather pattern mentioned in the instructions. Can you tell me where to look for it? Thanks! This looks cute and I think I'll make it with my granddaughter.
