Instructions in 17 steps A few accessories such as a metal ring, satin ribbons, beads and naturally a few feathers are ideal for making your very own dreamcatcher. And this is how it works:

Step 1

Wrap 3 cm of the double-sided adhesive tape around the ring.

Step 2

Place 1.20 m satin ribbon at an angle and wrap completely the ring around.

Step 3

Knot the 1.60 m threading silk on the ring.

Step 4

The knot shows inwards so secure it with some glue for jewellery.

Step 5

Thread the needle for threading beads, then thread successively the beads on.

Step 6

At a distance of 5cm, place the threading yarn around the ring and then rethread through the last bead, so that you get your first bead arc.

Step 7

Thread the next 6 arcs

Step 8

Thread the end of the last arc through the first bead of the first arc.

Step 9

Now thread back the pearlescent shimmered bead Rocaille through the first arc up to the middle.

Step 10

Continue by threading the next arcs through these 3 beads until the circuit is closed. Now knot the threading yarn.

Step 11

Thread zig-zag until a desirable pattern is reached, then sew up the threading yarn through the bead arc.

Step 12

Sew up the starting thread as well.

Step 13

Thread the yarns of the two deco-feathers into the needle for threading beads.

Step 14

Thread the beads, now thread on the silver-lined 10 Rocailles, place it around the ring and then thread it back through the previously strung beads.

Step 15

Thread again the yarns on the reverse side of the feathers by going through the lowest bead until there is a small loop, put some glue for jewellery on it and pull it through.
