If you love the delicate, boho style of a dreamcatcher, here are 10+ dreamcatcher tutorials for you to make your own!
You know when you start seeing something trend and you’re like, “MUST MAKE IT!”? That’s how it’s been for me with dreamcatchers lately. I remember getting a traditional leather dreamcatcher when I was young, when we were touring the southwest. It hung above my bed for years. I’m not sure where that one went, but now that I’m seeing more and more gorgeous DIY dreamcatchers, making one is next on my list! I love all of the gorgeous takes that different designers have — from simple and modern, to decadently boho. Each one is unique and each one is beautiful!
I thought I’d share some of the gorgeous tutorials I’ve been perusing while brainstorming my own design. Hope you love all of these creative dreamcatchers!
Update: I finally made my own, with a gilded leaf for fall! You can see it here.

hi Cori, the dreamcatchers are a dream. I fell love with them. Hope to make one for my little grandsons room. The babies are adorable. see you.
Thank you Bharathi!
I love dreamcatchers and have a history of getting a college degree in art with a concentration in fibers, including loom weaving, batiking with organic dyes (like a gold color derived from marigolds) and other techniques that I’m still interested in. I have been working in the medical field, in different capacities, since then. (Graduated in 1978)
Anyway, this should be fun and EXCITING !
Thanks for this book!!!
