welcoming good vibes

i'm obsessed with dreamcatchers.

i love how they look,

and i adore what they represent.

a dreamcatcher filters out the negative,

and attracts the positive.

and lets be honest,

who doesn't want to their home to be filled with good vibes?

so i decided to make my very own dreamcatcher...

with a new modern twist.

i call it a dreamcatcher mobile.

and i love it.

mine hangs in my living room,
but i can only imagine how adorable it would be hanging over a crib!

here's what you'll need:

 1. feathers.

i stuck with neutral tones for my dream catcher,

but feel free to go bright!

2. string.

i wanted fun, playful textures with a bit of traditional material so i used

a wool yarn, a feathery yarn, and white leather string.

3. embroidery hoops.

only use the inside hoop!

[not pictured- hot glue gun + hot glue]

now for the fun part...

making your dreamcatcher!

1. cut your string.

i cut my string about 2 feet long originally,

but ended up cutting them different lengths to give dimension.

 

2. glue and wrap.

add hot glue to the hoop,

and wrap the string around it.

[alternate the string so the hoop isn't covered in one type of string.]

3. hang string.

glue your cut pieces of string to the hoop,

alternating between which string you use.

[cut the hanging string different lengths.]

4. add feathers.

add hot glue to the end of your feather,

and wrap the string around it.

5. hang your dreamcatcher.

i used the same leather string and attached it at 3 points on the hoop with hot glue.

connecting them with a knot,

then braiding them together.

 and that's it!

super simple,

quick,

and easy!

 

say hello to the good vibes!

k byeee!
