There are many options, from which you can make a dream catcher, in this case we will need such materials:

• a wooden hoop or a metal ring;
• leather laces;
• thick threads;
• beads;
• feathers;
• glue, scissors;
• pair of clothespins.

Performance:

1. First, take our ring and begin to tightly wrap it with a leather cord. After every 1-2 centimeters we grab a string with glue, and that it does not dissolve, use clothespins. Fully wrap the ring, fix the ends of the lace with glue. Allow this substrate to dry thoroughly.
2. When our ring is ready, we begin to weave the webs. For this we use our tight thread. We tie the first knot, retreat from it 2.5 cm and make a loop.
3. We tie a second knot, between the first and second knot we hook a regular clip - we need it later, for now let it just hang out.
4. Repeat the knots until the following happens:
5. We proceed to the second row of weave spiders. Just continue to tie the knots, as before, but now not on the ring, but on the first row of spiders - where our clip is hanging. We outweigh the clip to a new row, just made and continue to knit the knots.
6. Similarly do the third row.
7. Repeating all these steps sequentially, you should get this picture:
8. From the leather cord, with which we braided the ring, we make three tails, fixing them on the ring. For each tail we put on 2 beads.
9. Glue the glue around the middle of the lace, attach the feathers to this drop and fasten them with a bead. The consumption of glue is at your discretion, the main thing is that everything should go well.

2. Next to the lace knot we attach a thread, from this place weave the web. The plait is similar to the previously described version of the catcher. In the course you can weave in colored or wooden beads, large beads.
3. When our cobweb is ready, we make three tails. To what we left at the very beginning, we add two more. We tie them on the tips as in the photo below. We decorate the tails with beads and feathers.
4. Do not forget to make a loop to hang the catcher. For him, cut a piece of lace, thread it through the hoop from above, tie the ends, turn so that the knot is on the bottom. Fold the loop in half and make the knot close to the hoop. On this folded in half loop, put on the bead and make another nodule.
