Boho Dreamcatcher

Boho Dream Catcher

So for the past little while I have been obsessing over this whole boho look. I think because it is a mix of my two favorite colors..... black and ivory. 

I don't know why but those colors just attract me. 

(also please do not mind the toes in the picture..... It was too late to edit them out lol)

ps. I bet you scrolled back up to look at them.... hahahaha

Anyways.... 

I have been looking at a few online that I wanted to buy but to be honest I didn't want to spend a few hundred on them.

So I decided to try and make them myself. And might I add I now KNOW why they cost as much as they do. They are not as easy to make as one may think.

It takes some patience and some quick thinking. I actually was getting a little frustrated that I called my mom to come help me- So I can not take 100% credit on making these two. 

What you need to make these dream catchers is honestly only a few things. I purchased a

 wooden embroidery hoop from my local craft store and ivory yarn. I already had black ribbon, 

glue gun and other color ribbon from another project I did. 

I wanted a pretty pattern for the dream catcher on the right but every thing I was doing I was not liking. My mom suggested using a doily. That was probably one of the best ideas! I started first by wrapping my ivory yarn all around the hoop and adding some details by criss crossing  the yarn. I posted a picture on my Instagram Stories. We then hot glued the doily on to the hoop and was VERY careful when we cut the edges. Next we died yard from the bottom of the hoop. We also braided some pieces, added yarn and ribbon.  I had some flowers left over from the headbands I made my 

God Daughters and hot glued them on the side. 

I thought it gave them the perfect touch. Plus it makes me think of them.

The next Dream Catcher was the one that caused the most issues. And by issues I mean it tested our patience. It may look super easy but figuring out how to tie the yarn the perfect way and to get every cord even was a challenge. But we did it! After we had all the yard tied how we liked I wrapped black ribbon around the edge. 

The whole project took around 3 hours and it was fun bonding with my mom. 

I will be making more Dream Catchers in the future and I promise to take step by step pictures. 

enjoy!
