Heart-Shaped Dreamcatchers

As promised here is the pictorial for our heart-shaped dreamcatcher. After playing around with various starting points, I decided to knot the yarn to the center of the pipe cleaner heart.


From here start weaving around the pipe cleaner in one direction.


After you have woven around the heart, thread the yarn through the outer weaves so it appears like this:


Insert the beads as desired and weave the middle section in any criss-crossed manner ending at the middle of your heart and knot to secure.


My son had creative freedom to thread them as he pleased so each heart is unique. I managed to pick up a bag of colored feathers last week. I attached one (or two) to each of the finished dream catcher.
