Dream Catcher Necklace DIY

Here is simple DIY on how to make a dream catcher necklace. ENJOY!
Supplies: Fabric, necklace chain, leather cord, metal hoop, and dental floss.
First, take your leather and begin wrapping it around the metal hoop. I added a little bit of hot glue at the starting point to make it secure. Continue wrapping the leather until it is all the way around the hoop and secure the other end with a small dot of glue as well.
Then, you'll take the floss and begin wrapping it around, fitting it between the leather strips. Continue until you have the pattern you desire.
 Next, you'll take fabric and cut small strips to tie onto the end of your dream catcher. This part really defines what style your dream catcher is. I chose a dull, striped fabric. You could use a pretty lace or floral print to make it more girly. Lastly, you'll hook a simple chain through the top of your dream catcher. I used a chain I already had from a necklace I never wear anymore.
And there you have it!  A similar version with smaller hoops would be so cute as earrings. Happy crafting! 
Sincerely, 
Kinsey

  2. Thanks for stopping by the blog!

    This necklace is brilliant. We have a million little bits of leather around that house that would be perfect for this.

  6. Thank you, everyone! So sweet. :)

    Kadenceswan@gmail.com, You could definitely try it. The only problem you might run into would be the floss not being able to fit in between the fabric as easily as it does the leather. Wouldn't hurt to try though!!
