A dream catcher is one of the many very popular psychic crafts nowadays. For over hundreds of years, our ancestors have used psychic dream catchers to "catch" and trap bad dreams and foster good ones in its place. The use of psychic dream catchers doesn't stop there; these psychic tools are also used catch evil spirits and keep you protected during the vulnerable hours while you sleep.
How to Create Your Own Psychic Dream Catcher in 7 Steps
Today, you'd see dream catchers as a widely available psychic accessory. But let's say you would want to have a much more personalized dream catcher; let me show you how easy it is to create your very ownpsychic dream catcher in just 7 steps.
For this psychic project, you will need the following:
1 piece 5" metal ring 4 yards of suede lacing (1/8 inch diameter, this is a leather-like type of string) 3 yards imitation sinew (you can easily get this at a Native American, New Age or Spiritual store) 1 small conch (these come in different designs, feel free to choose which one you like to use) 1 set of 12 crow beads (this set must be of the same color, we'll call this "color 1" set) 1 set of 6 crow beads (choose another color for this set, we'll refer to this as "color 2" set) 12 Feathers (feel free to use any variety you would like) A pair of scissors Glue Clothes peg (to hold everything together while you make your psychic dream catcher) Procedure:
1. Cut 2/12 yards of suede lacing and glue one end on the metal ring; use the clothes peg to hold it in place. Then, continue wrapping the lacing around the ring until the metal ring is completely covered. Don't forget to glue the ends as well, and make sure the glue is all dried up before you remove the clothes peg.
2. Next, start to make the web for your ring. Do this by tying one end of the imitation sinew to the ring. Make 9 half hitch knots throughout the ring (about 1 1/2 inches apart from each other). Remember to keep the thread snug between the knots.
3. After that, start with the next inner row of your web by tying hitches in the middle of the thread that you have already weaved on row 1. Continue tying hitches around and around to make inner layers, until you end up with a tiny hole at the center of your web. When you reach the center of your ring, tie your thread into a double knot and secure it with a drop of glue. Then, cut any excess piece of thread from your web.
4. Now that you have a wrapped and webbed ring, you will now make that loop to hang your psychic dream catcher. For this, cut a 12 inch piece of suede lacing and tie the two ends together in a secured knot. Then, on top your ring, attach the lacing by slipping the loop end through the ring, and then around the ring, and over the knot. Pull your lacing tight to fasten it in place. You are now half-way in completing your psychic dream catcher!
5. You will now add the hanging sections of your psychic dream catcher. Have 3 pieces of suede lacing that are each 8 inches long. On both sides of your ring, tie 2 piece of suede lacing about one third of the way up each side of the ring using a double knot. Next, string 3 crow beads onto each piece of lacing and have this secured with a knot (alternately have a "color 1", followed by a "color 2", then another "color 1" bead).
6. So next, use the third piece of 8 inch suede lacing to attach the small conch to the middle of the ring (the conch will be tied to the ring using the suede lacing, with both ends of the lacing dangling down). Slip on 3 crow beads on each end of the lacing (same alternate pattern as the previous hanging sections of your psychic dream catcher).
7. Now for the final step of your psychic craft -- push 2 feathers each into the beads of the adjacent sides your psychic dream catcher (glue them if you need to), and the 8 remaining feathers must be placed on both sides of your conch (4 on each). There you have it! Your very own psychic dream catcher in just 7 easy steps! Now you are ready to catch bad dreams and enjoy your slumber.
