The dream catcher originally comes from Indians. It was a sacred object for them and was given to their grandchildren as a gift by their grandparents to protect them from evil forces. The Indians believed strongly in dreams and kept a dream catcher hanging next to the sleeping place. The Aztecs called the dream catcher “that which calms me.” Children like stories, dreams and crafts. The two share a nice leisure activity – making dream catchers.
It was a personal item for the Indians, so it's always nice when everyone has their own dream catcher just for themselves. You can easily make one yourself and hang it on or above the bed. In principle, anything that is hollow in the middle could be suitable for the frame. If you want a round shape, it's best to use a wooden embroidery frame. When the two rings are inserted into each other, the cord for the net is fixed and fastened so that no additional tying is necessary. For a natural look, you can use real branches that are easy to bend. Tip: choose which onessustainable materials such as willow.
The network can be created in several ways. First, get a tear-resistant cord or sturdier yarn. Traditionally it is crocheted, but you could do it differently and tie the string chaotically from side to side. Wrap this around the frame once before tying it around the opposite edge.
ForCrafts with slightly older childrenThe net could also be crocheted, but this requires more time and patience. Divide the frame at visually equal distances - seven distances are recommended for rings measuring 25 cm. Run the cord along the frame, tie a knot after a few centimeters, then pass the cord through the resulting loop from behind. The next row is not knotted on the ring itself, but in the middle of the loop of the last row. Check out the pictures and the instructions. There you will find different ideas that have different levels of difficulty.
