Dream Catcher Wreath

Hello everyone!!!
Long time no post:) Hello autumn and here I am with another wreath tutorial. There are 4 things you need to have a good autumn: fluffy blanket, hot cup of tea, a cat and a Dream Catcher Wreath:)) This time I was inspired by Native American decor theme, it's wildness and divine beauty leaves you speechless. As a predominant part of Native American Decor, Dream Catchers are widely used in all other cultures. Originally it represents a small hoop containing a horsehair mesh decorated with feathers and beads, believed by American Indians to give its owner good dreams. So this time I decided to make not just a Dream Catcher, but a Wreath as well with autumn inspiration.
So here you go, my Dream Catcher Autumn Wreath tutorial for you down below.

All you need is: Styrofoam round shape, yarn (3 colors), decorative feathers, dried decorative wheat, felt maple leaves, cedar roses and of course hot glue gun and scissors.

P.S. Dream your dreams with your eyes closed...but live your dreams with your eyes open...





Start with your skeleton, choose the shape you prefer the most, I always prefer a round one


Wrap around your Styrofoam shape with yarn and then start with weaving the net in the middle of your Dream Catcher



When finished with the hoop, start creating your tassels, mine are simply knotted with casuarina cones (Casuarina explanation)




Take some decorative feathers of the color you like to decorate the endings of your tassels




Stick your tassels to the hoop




 Add some felt leaves, decorative wheat and cedar roses to give it an autumn finish






And here you go, your autumn themed Dream Catcher is ready to decorate your doors or walls





I really hope you enjoyed my tutorial! Wishing you Sweet Dreams!
