Instructions
Step 1
Of course, nowadays, a dreamcatcher can be bought at any shop selling souvenirs, but it does not necessarily have to fulfill its purpose - to catch bad dreams. If you want to get a working dreamcatcher, you need to make one yourself. First, tune in to the desired mood. Realize what exactly you are doing, imagine how a web of thread holds back bad dreams, how bright and pleasant dreams pass through the hole. Now that you have reached the desired mood, you can proceed directly to making the catcher.
Step 2
Take a willow rod and bend it into a circle. If you want to make a decorative dreamcatcher, you can use a wire circle and even a hoop as a base, but the North American Indians wove a dreamcatcher on a willow circle.
Step 3
Start wrapping the thread around the circle. It is better to take threads from natural yarn, and they should be thick enough, but you can choose the color at your discretion. It should be braided clockwise and until the entire willow twig is covered with threads and is firmly held.
Step 4
Now start weaving the web. To do this, take a thinner thread than the one you used to wind the base of the circle. It can be iris, or floss. Weave the spider web round by round, attaching the thread to the base at regular intervals. You can attach the thread to the previous circle of the web using a knot or loop. It is advisable to pull the thread tightly so that your web does not sag. If you wish, you can weave beads into the dream catcher.
Step 5
After you have braided the required number of circles of the web, secure the thread with a knot. Now attach a loop to the dreamcatcher for hanging it and attach the feathers to the ring. Typically, eagle feathers are used in a dream catcher for men, and owl feathers are used in a dream catcher for women. Listen to your intuition - it will tell you which bird's feathers are best for you.
Step 6
Hang a dream catcher at the head of your bed. Now you are reliably protected from bad dreams.
