Dream Catcher Wall Art

Since I didn't originally plan to post this craft to the blog, I didn't take many pictures of it so, sorry! But anyways, I saw a post on Pinterest of this ADORABLE earring holder that just happened to look like a dream catcher, and I decided to make one of my own.
Items needed:
  • Cross Stitch Hoop
  • Embroidery Floss
  • Scissors
  • Spray Paint
Since I don't have pictures to show you my steps, I figured I'll just show you the ending product, and describe all the steps of how I got there(:
First, I spray painted my three hoops different colors and let them drive for a couple hours so I could tie the floss around them without ruining the paint job. Next, I looked up some different pictures of how to tie a dream catcher and tried to copy those as much as I could, and also used some of my own designs. I made sure they all looked at least a little different. At every crossing I tied two knots to make sure the string didn't ever slip, and was tight. And that's pretty much it! Very simple craft and you can add your own elements into it to make it personal.

Here's how it looks up on my wall. I've decided to leave them empty and to just be an art piece instead of serving multiple purposes.  Thanks for reading!
