Dream Catcher Necklace DIY

Hey everyone! For today's DIY, I got the idea to make a dream catcher necklace.  It's a great piece of jewelry to have to give any outfit a bohemian feel.


Materials:

  • One ring (key hoop or any small round ring will do.)
  • Yarn (ribbon, leather cord, twine, or whatever you have in hand.)
  • Thread/floss 
  • Necklace thread (This can be any thread that looks nice and is strong.)
  • Feathers
  • Beads
  • Crazy glue (I use this on everything!)

Step 1: Make a knot with the yarn anywhere on the ring, then wrap the yarn around the whole ring.






Step 2: Tie the thread near to where you made the knot and start to warp the thread as shown in the picture to make the web. You can also add beads to the web. To do this, add a couple of beads to the thread first and spread the beads as you wrap the thread to make your web.


Step 3: Cut off three or more pieces of thread long enough so you can add beads and feathers. Once you have your pieces of string, tie them to the dream catcher.Then add the beads to the strings. Place a feather into last bead at the end of the thread, as shown in the picture blow. Then wrap the excess thread around the feather and make a knot to secure it.

Step 4: Cut a piece of thread as long as desired (this will be used to make your necklace so be sure to leave a little extra.)

Step 5: Place the piece of thread you just cut to the middle of the dream catcher. Add a small bead to keep the thread in place then make a knot on the top of the bead. Next add a bead to the end of the thread and knot it. The bead at the end can be used to adjust the length of the necklace. 

Now your boho chic. Check out my Dream Catcher DIY.
