| Make a hoop. I use red willow and let it dry for at least a week so webbing doesnt loosen when hoop dries. |
| Cut leather strips approx 1cm wide and about 4 feet long. Attach to hoop as shown in diagram. |
| After wraping hoop, run end of leather strip through leather loop at top. |
| Wrap hoop with leather strip. |
| Flip hoop over and run leather strip through front loop |
| Wrap waxed nylon around your hand and make a long skinny bundle. |
| Tie end on as close to top as you can get. |
| Loop thread around hoop as shown |
| When you reach where you started..continue looping as shown |
| Keep looping for about 3-4 rows then unravel your bundle of thread and put your bead on it. |
| Pull thread tight. round hole should be in middle. Tie a small knot and sew your end around the hole. Clip end. Use remaining thread to hang your dreamcatcher. Sew thread through top leather of dreamcatcher. |
| Continue looping till you sart nearing the center ..you can stretch the web together in the middlewith your fingers to see how close you are getting...if they almost touch you are done. |
