we made our first dreamcatcher

 While sat in the sunshine this afternoon we decided to make a dreamcatcher. Here is what we did.....

"we need to find something round" I said. N came back with a fishing net minus the net. I had been keeping the hoop on a stick for making a sweep net to catch insects, but it seemed excellent for a dreamcatcher and I was impressed that N had not only remembered we had kept it but also knew where to find it!! After asking for Hubby's strength to prise the hoop from the stick we were away.

N sorted out some beads that she liked and some lace to cover up the rusty end of the hoop.

 and this is what we made. I love how it looks in the tree but with the UK weather its not practical for a tree decoration and anyhow it was made for N's room which is where it is now. Notice Pepper cannot resist getting in on any photo....

This evening N and I searched for dreamcatcher tutorials online, to see if it did actually turn out anything like it should and we found this .

Whilst we love what we made we thought those looked lovely too and will be attempting these soon.
