How To Make a Modern Dream Catcher

DIY MODERN DREAM CATCHER

• 12-inch macramé ring
• White yarn
• Wooden beads
• Toothpick

1. Start with your first piece of yarn by tying and knotting it on the top of your ring.  TIP: Use tape to hold top in place and use long pieces of yarn (2-3 feet) so that you can trim as needed. 2. Tightly tie and knot the other end of the yarn to the bottom of your ring. If you’re having trouble making it tight, tie it a little higher than where you want to place it and slide the yarn down once knotted. 3. Repeat step 2 as many times as you wish to create your own pattern. 4. Once you’re done tying all your yarn, trim the ends near the top knots. 5. Hang your ring on a wall, eye the yarn lengths and carefully trim them to hang equally on each side. 6. Attach your beads. TIP: If your yarn isn’t going through your bead holes easily, use a toothpick to push it through. Gently tie each bead on before knotting, then step back and eye how they're handing. Adjust as necessary. 7. To finish, tie a small loop of yarn to the top of the hoop for hanging.
