10. ORIGIN OF THE DREAM CATCHER
• The origin of dream catchers
traces back to Indigenous
cultures of North America,
primarily the Ojibwe
(Chippewa) tribe. The Ojibwe
people originally crafted dream
catchers as a protective charm
for infants and children.

11. • The traditional belief is that dream
catchers hung above the bed would
catch bad dreams in their intricate web-
like structure, while allowing good
dreams to pass through and gently slide
down the feathers to the sleeper below.
This practice was later adopted by other
Native American tribes and has become
more widely known and utilized in
various forms of spiritual practice and
artistry around the world.

24. STEPS FOR MAKING DREAM CATCHER
PREPARE THE HOOP
• If using a traditional wooden hoop or metal, bend it into a circular shape if
necessary.
• Wrap the hoop with suede lace, yarn, or twine, covering it completely.

25. CREATE THE WEB
• Tie one end of your webbing
material to the hoop, leaving
a tail.
• Stretch the webbing material
across the hoop to the
opposite side and loop it
around the hoop, leaving a
small loop.

26. Continue this process, spacing the loops
evenly around the hoop, until you reach
the center. As you go, gently push the
woven portion towards the center of the
hoop to create the classic web pattern.
Once you reach the center you can place
the beads by inserting to the thread or
yarn.
Or you can tie off the webbing material
and trim any excess, tie off the webbing
material and trim any excess.
