Appearance
Externally, the amulet resembles a sieve. This is a somewhat rounded frame, on which strings of threads are stretched, which, in turn, are woven into different patterns. These patterns are not just decoration, they carry one or another semantic load!
Material used
Before you make a dream catcher, you need to stock up on the necessary material. To make the amulet, we need the following things:
- Circle of the correct form. Use some kind of bracelet, hoop and so on.
- Feathers. Of course, bird plumage is the main component of a real amulet, this is its distinctive sign. According to legend, it is on the feathers that dreams come up on threads, and then are screened out in a "sieve" created in a circle. But more on that later. The main thing is no fluff! Only feathers!
- Thread floss. We use green and pink.
- Beads. To give the amulet decor, you need to use natural material. You can take beads from wood.
- Hook. You can, of course, weave by hand, but it is better to crochet.
Instructions on how to make a dream catcher
- We need to tie our circle. To do this, you need to fold both threads (pink and green) with each other, fixing them on a circle, and tie it with connecting loops.
- When you finish braiding a circle, in no case cut the ends of the threads. They should be carefully tied in order to get a small eyelet. Our amulet will be suspended for it.
- We tie the middle of the circle. There are two options: just wrap around the center of it at random or tie it neatly and slowly. Beads (or beads) need to be dialed on threads in advance. In the future, they are gradually intertwined.
- The first row is done using air loops. To get a more even contour, we count the number of loops, and then decide which one to stab into - in the fifth, tenth and so on. Although you can not bother with this, but simply tie at random.
- Do not forget about beads (beads)!
- We knit and tighten as tight as possible. Everything, the circle is ready.
- Next, you need to attach long threads to our circle, which in the future will hang from it. Weigh them with beads and feathers.
- That's all! Ready our dream catcher! The amulet is much easier to buy ready-made, but much nicer to make it with your own hands, is it true, friends? Feel free to hang it over the bed and sleep peacefully ...
