Pinsday: Dream Catcher

Have you seen doily dream catchers?! They are so beautiful! Here are three that I found online that I just thought were gorgeous. Pins to the sources are underneath.

I'm not really into feathers, but I am into doilys, leather ribbon (I guess is what I would call it), lace and beads! So I used the inspiration from Pinterest to create my own version. I used blue leather to wrap around a thick wire I had at home (looks a little like this stuff) and looped around again to attach the dily in the center. I made a little loop at the top so it would hang easily. I used hot glue as needed to keep things in place.

I added various ribbons, lace, black leather and rope by knotting double knots onto the bottom of the dream catcher. Except for the rope. That stuff is thick. You could a little a bit of hot glue to your knots if you're worried about them coming loose. I tried not to not put things too similar next to each other to give a fun, but organized -  'cause that's the way I like it - look.

On the leather strands, I added a few of my favorite beads (plastic, shiny hearts and wood). I think it call came together so beautifully and it will be hanging next to my side of the bed. I'm in love with all the different ribbons and lace!

Have you ever made a dream catcher?
