Instructions in 5 steps Use the three metal decorative rings to create your dreamcatcher as a necklace pendant adorned with cords, beads and feathers. And this is how it works:

Step 1

To start, take 1 cm of cord, hold it onto the ring and then wrap the rest of the cord around it.

Step 2

Once the cord has been wrapped completely around the whole ring, take the end of the cord, thread it into a tapestry needle and make the first loop. Make 3 more loops with a distance of 0.5 cm (small ring) (1.3 cm large ring). The 4rd loop should be located opposite the first.

Step 3

Now, apply 2 loops at the same position as the loops on the opposite side. In a final step, make a loop on the left, next to the first. Start the 2nd row in the middle. For this, please look at the illustration.

Step 4

Working consecutively, now complete all the loops. (In the large ring, make a 3rd row).

Step 5

Now thread on a little metal bead (large bead in the large ring) and sew on 2 to 3 times, as illustrated. When done, apply a little bit of jewellery glue to the cord, just before the bead, pull it through, and then cut off the cord. Do the same with the remaining small rings, and with the large ring, pay attention regarding the larger distances and having the 3rd row in the middle. Using an overhand knot, now tie 3 × 30 cm cord to the right, left and centre of the large ring, with the centre being at the bottom of the ring. The thread ends should all have the same length, approx. 13 cm. On the left, in each case, thread a small and large metal bead onto both threads, on one thread, thread on a completed ring and a small metal bead. Connect both threads with an overhand knot, apply a little bit of jewellery glue to the knots and then cut off the rest. Slide the knots into the large metal bead. Complete the right and the centre in the same way. In closing, with the help of a pair of flat-nosed pliers, use a ringlet to connect the cut feathers to the 3 small rings. Hook in the two metal feathers and the anchor chain to the large ring.
