Dream Catcher DIY

I've been wanting to make a dream catcher for months now, and that is a long time for me to have a DIY idea and not execute it. I think it was the center that made me nervous, so when I came across this easy picture tutorial I ran upstairs and found whatever supplies I had laying around and whipped this bad boy up.

Here's what you'll need:
Embroidery Hoop
Ribbon
Twine or String
Feathers
Hot Glue Gun
Misc items to hang from hoop
Wrap that hoop with ribbon!! I opened up mine a little to slide in the end of the ribbon and closed it tight around it and just kept looping until I made it all the way around. I used a little hot glue to finish it off on the back.
If you tie a feather to a piece of twine it just hangs sideways. Annoying. So I basically had to rig it up. First, you'll want to tie the end of your twine to your feather. Next, you'll need to take a smaller piece of twine and tie the end of your feather to your original piece of twine to straighten it up. For the last step I simply turned the knot to face forward to that the twice fell behind the feather when hanging. If you have beads you can simply slide them on the twine and down the top of the feather to line it up..probably easier, but I didnt have any.
BAM! You're done...and now you'll have no more bad dreams :)

Today is the last day of 2010...I feel like maybe I didnt accomplish as much as I had hoped. But thats okay, I get to start a new year tomorrow!
Sweet!
I love starting a new calender. It's always been a dream of mine to design my own. I guess that's a little odd. The things that I want to accomplish come in strange form sometimes...and I think thats okay :)
I would imagine if I did make my own calenders that this time of year would be very busy for me. So if you're looking for a new calender for the 'new year' aaaaand you're wanting to support your local artist (yesss!!) let me help you find a few!
