DIY Owl Dream Catcher
Materials:
- Metal Hoops- 2 smaller sizes and 1–larger (size depends upon how large you want your owl and how much larger you want the eyes to be)
- Yarn (desired size and color)
- String, thread, embroidery floss or thin hemp
- Glue
- Gems (beads or gems large enough for the center of your eyes)
- Feathers (large plume feather and standard feathers in desired colors)
- Large holed beads (I used black wood beads)
Directions:
- Wrap your 3 hoops with your yarn or ribbon until they are completely covered (use glue to hold in place)
- Tie one end of your string/ embroidery floss around one of your metal hoop rings (that are covered in yarn or ribbon)
- Bring the string/ embroidery floss around through the inside of the hoop, over the top of the hoop, and back through the loop just made by the string/ embroidery floss. – see images
- Continue this motion all of the way around your hoop until you return back to the beginning.
- Continue to do the same thing again around the hoop, but instead of wrapping around the outside of the hoop, you will wrap around the middle of the loops.
- Continue to repeat this motion until you have reached the center of your dream catcher and tie off your thread. (use a dab of glue on your knot to hold in place)
- Do this with all 3 of your hoops
- Add a large bead or gem in the center of your 2 smaller hoops (you can do this before tying them off or in my case I glued them to the center attaching them to the string itself)
- Use more of your yarn or ribbon to tie your 3 hoops together (see images)
- Glue on some feathers to the top of your smaller hoops for eyebrows of your owl
- Glue a smaller feather or embellishment just below the 2 smaller hoops for a beak
- Use more of your string/ embroidery floss to tie onto the bottom halves of your smaller hoops
- Thread a large bead on each piece of string, add some glue to the base of your feather and poke into the bottom half of your bead
- Do this with your feathers until you have reached the desired amount (see images)
- Enjoy!
