DIY Miniature Dreamcatcher
I’ve just finished building a 1:12 scale dollhouse and have just been making a few little accessories to finish it off. I’ve made a few real size dream catchers before so I decided to try and make a miniature one.
I started by gathering some materials I had around the house and in my craft supplies. I found a key ring that was the perfect size to use as the hoop.
I grabbed some yarn and tied a small loop and knot onto the ring. I then wrapped the yarn around the entire ring.
Once I reached the end I tied a little knot at the top and then cut the excess yarn.
Next I used some sewing thread and tied a knot at the top again.
I then looped the thread along 5 points of the ring (6 including the starting point).
Once I reached the end I used the excess thread from the start and end to tie a knot in the middle of the two points.
I then continued on using the long piece and looping it over the thread in the middle of each point.
I made sure to keep pulling it tight after each loop so it started forming the “web”. When I got to the end I just repeated the steps, tieing a knot inbetween the inner points and then looping the next lot.
I did this until I reached the middle and then I just tied a knot & cut the excess.
Lastly I tied some novelty yarn from my craft supplies around the bottom of the ring and then added some little beads for some extra detail.
I put some glue underneath the beads to keep them in place.
Im pretty happy with how it turned out. It finished of the room in the dollhouse perfectly.
