Instructions

1. Start by wrapping the embroidery hoop with natural twine, ensuring it's tightly secured. You can use hot glue to keep the twine in place at the ends. 2. Cut several lengths of yarn or thread in varying colors and lengths. These will create the 3D effect. 3. Attach the yarn to the hoop by tying them securely. Space them out evenly around the hoop for a balanced look. 4. Use the wire to create a small circular frame that sits inside the hoop. Wrap it with more yarn to match the outer hoop. 5. Create a web pattern with the yarn by weaving it between the inner wire and securing it with knots. This adds depth and dimension to the dreamcatcher. 6. Once the web is complete, decorate with beads by threading them onto the yarn before tying knots. 7. Attach feathers to the bottom of the dreamcatcher using a combination of twine and glue for added flair. 8. Finally, embellish your dreamcatcher with any additional decorative elements like fabric flowers or crystals, securing them with hot glue.
