Macrame Dreamcatcher
The dream catcher was made using a 10 inch metal ring, 1mm natural hemp cord and crystal beads. The ring was covered approximately two thirds of the way round with the hemp. Just two macrame knots – square and spiral knots – are used, so even a beginner could attempt such a design. All cords were attached to a small central plastic ring and the design worked outwards from that. The streamers are long lengths of twine, white ribbons and broad lace, and strips of white floaty voile cut from a window curtain found in a thrift store. The crystal beads really catch the sunlight and sparkle on sunny days.
