A ribbon dream catcher


My nana has one of the most amazing craft supply stashes. And every now and again she has a clean out, and I become the lucky recipient of some lovely bits and bobs. 

From one of these clean outs, I ended up with bags of ribbon.... and it has been sitting around calling out to be made into something *grin*


So when the kiddos and I went to our craft shop the other day, we picked up some lovely wooden rings and twine. Then using some wonderful pinspiration {ok, that is a totally made up word but I'm going with it} I started to craft some ribbon dream catchers!


For the web effect in the middle, I followed this great tutorial from The Serendipity, just adding some pretty clear beads as I went... to catch the sunlight and add a touch of whimsy.


Then came the ribbon ~  in beautiful blues, reds, white and cream, together with vintage floral. Strand upon strand, aiming for a full and pretty look...


And before I knew it, we were ready to catch Little Miss Q's dreams... pretty huh *grin*

Happy crafting,
Kelly

  2. It's so very pretty! My daughter has a dream catcher we made many years ago, and my son keeps asking for one. Now I'm inspired to make him one!

  3. This is very pretty. I have never seen a dream catcher with ribbons. It turned out lovely. Every time you look at it, you will think of your nana.
