Macramé dream catcher
Instructions No. 1470Dream catchers do not look only pretty - it is said that the Indian cult objects drive away bad dreams and thus ensure a particularly good sleep.
For the green dream catcher you need one metal ring each in Ø 10 cm and in Ø 15 cm. The small ring is wrapped with white Warp yarn, the big one with green Jute yarn . Here the thread is laid to a loop and always knotted at the same place, so that a clean winding optics develops.
Now the natural coloured Warp yarn is wrapped around the small metal hoop with wide loops. As soon as a complete round has been wound, the thread is wound in the same way in the 2nd round into the loops of the first round.
For this, pull brown wooden beads onto the warp thread and position them on the thread according to your personal taste. The star-shaped winding is sewn in the middle with a final wooden bead.
With green Jute ribbon now the large and the small ring are knotted together. Make sure that the small ring is really fixed in the middle and that the green fixation bands are exactly opposite each other. These can be decorated with a Wooden ball further
Macramé-strings
Tie Macramé-strands knotted in the weaver's knot between the rings, the hanging band can also be decorated in this way
For a step by step instruction for the weaver's knot, see for example instruction 1401 Instructions for a stylish Macramé lamp.
