If only we could capture the free spirit that comes so naturally to kids. The chance to create without mistakes and to experience joy-through-doing. Big Dreamers, all of them, and we want to nurture them to keep dreaming. Well here’s a way to help kids (and former kids!) capture those dreams with this fun DIY dreamcatcher craft. The best part is that it requires no glue … perfect as a party craft activity for all ages.

Attach doily to hoop using floss and needle. “Sew” through doily point then wrap floss around hoop. Repeat and tie into square knot to secure. Trim ends. (TIP: Doily will stretch to fit loop. To ensure it stretches evenly, attach two points at a time starting at 12 o’clock, then moving to 6 o’clock, 3 o’clock and 9 o’clock respectively. Once those are secured, attach remaining points.)
Cut ribbon at different lengths and tie to hoop leaving spaces between the ribbons. (TIP: Knot ribbon from backside so “tails” are slightly hidden.)
Cut lace at different lengths and tie to hoop in-between ribbons.
Cut hemp at different lengths cording and tie to hoop between lace and ribbons.
String bead onto hemp cord and push towards hoop. Tie feather on, leaving long tail. Slip bead over feather covering knot. Clip feather flush with bead and knot to secure. Repeat with remaining beads and feathers.
Trim ribbon ends and hang using a length of hemp cord. Hang at your bedside or anywhere you think could use a little extra protection! Check out our Cozy Boho Birthday Party where this craft is on the party planning list of activities- bonus since it doubles as a take home favor.
