There are plenty of beautiful dream catchers on the market today all ready for you to buy.
Why not I ask make your own, its not as difficult as you would imagine and making your own has that personal touch that a shop brought one hasn’t.
Crafted with your own hands, made from the materials you select and then hung in your bedroom or out on your porch after all they make beautiful hanging decorations, as well as a good way to catch your dreams so keep yourself and your children occupied in the making of one its good fun. I remember making my first with bits of vine, ribbons and peacock feathers given to me by a local park keeper I can not remember what happened to that?
It is believed that the dream catcher was first originally made by the Cherokee tribes of America, or the Ojibway traditions while others believe the making of them goes back further in time, 
there are lots of legends and myths surrounding the origin of the dream catcher. It is said that the healing powers of a dream catcher is magnified ten times when it is given as a gift to another person by adding certain items of their choice to it in the making. Many believe as do I that a dream catcher hung over the bed allows only the good dreams to get through, also to protect sleeping children from nightmares, but its all a matter of what you believe in as we are all different. My personal dream catcher was made of willow still don’t know where it got to? you can find brilliant ready made dream catchers at any powwow or Indian event. Also check out the book shops selling dream catcher books or online stores.
Deciding to make your own dream catcher contemplate on just how big you wish your dream catcher to be, the size and shape then check out your local arts and craft store for these materials:
Firstly 1 thin, round, basket-weaving reed.
2. string, ribbon or twine colour to suit your taste.
3. beads, feathers, Yarn colour to suit.
4. a pair of Scissors or cutter.
When you have all the materials you require follow the steps below:
Step 1: Take a length of reed or willow roughly equivalent to approximately 28 inches, form into a circle and secure by overlapping and bending the two loose ends around the edge of the circle. Practice makes perfect the first time I attempted this the end shot out. The circle width should be 5 to 5 1/2 inches. To strengthen the circle and prevent it from coming undone, you may tightly wrap the entire circle with a length of ribbon or yarn of the color you desire.
Step 2: To begin making the dream catcher “web,” tie one end of the twine or string to the circle you have formed in step one. Tie 9 “hitch knots” around the ring, spacing them approximately 2 inches apart. Keep the string taught when going from one knot to the next try not to distort the shape of the circle.
Step 3: To begin the next row of the web, begin tying hitch knots in the middle of the string already attached. Continue tying hitches in the same way until the opening in the centre is the right shape for you . To end the web, tie a double knot in the twine and cut off any excess.
Step 4: The fun part is to decorate the dream catcher: You will need about 2 feet of string for attaching beads or feathers if you prefer. Cut string into 4 equal pieces and thread the beads or tie the feathers to the ends. Tie these decorate strings to the bottom, sides, and centre of the dream catcher. Remember to attach a hanging loop to the top and there you have it your very own dream catcher, but please remember the hardest part is in the beginning making the initial start. This is just one of many ways to make a dream catcher I urge you to look around the market out there for the best ideas to suit you…..
Merry Part.
