Many dream catchers are embellished with a feather, but N had her heart set on a pom-pom. Fair enough…it’s her dream catcher after all.įor a good tutorial on how and where to make these knots, read these instructions.
I imagined more of a natural color scheme, but my daughter wanted to use red wire and red yarn. Secure thread with a big knot to the top of the twig and then start wrapping it. Our branch was a little bit short, so we ended up making more of a raindrop shape. Twist branch into circular shape and secure it together. (scramble, scramble…now how exactly does one make one of these?) When I asked her if she knew what dream catchers are for, she replied, “If you have bad dreams you have to spit them out of your mouth and into the dream catcher.” Well, not exactly, but gosh I’m going to miss these early years! If you want to know the real story behind dream catchers, read this. The great part about this dream catcher moment is that her actual question was, “Can we MAKE a dream catcher?” Um, yes we can. She also wanted a lofted bunk bed, but this isn’t a home decor blog, thank goodness!
“If you have bad dreams you have to spit them out of your mouth and into the dream catcher.”Īfter a recent visit with some friends in their new house, my daughter could not stop talking about a dream catcher that they had.
