Gather your supplies to get started on making your dreamcatcher.

Measure and cut your colored cotton cords into strings of 60 inches. You will need 8 of each color.

Tape your hoop in place to ensure that it doesn’t dislodge when you’re working. You will start working on the top left side of your hoop.

Starting with the cappuccino cord, fold it in half and place it under the hoop to form a loop. Bring the loop over the hoop. Then, pull both the loose ends through the loop, tugging firmly to create a knot.

Grab the left end of the string and pull it over then under the hoop to form a loop to the left side of the previous knot. Pull the end through the loop and firmly make another knot. Repeat this with the right end of the string, too. This will be your first set of knots.

Repeat this process with the other strings and switch colors when required. You should have the following pattern in place when you’re done: 2x cappuccino cords, 4x cream cords, 2x cappuccino cords.

Ensure that all the ends are under the hoop, with the hoop sitting over them.

Once you’ve worked the top left part of the hoop, proceed to the top right part. Repeat all the above steps on this end as well. Only, this time, make sure the ends are over the hoop so you can move them aside to start working on the next set of knots.

You’ll be knotting the top right strings in the bottom left and the top left knots in the bottom right.

Grab one individual string and pull it over the hoop and through the loop. Do this once more with the same string and you’ll have your first knot. Repeat this with all the other strings on the bottom left end.

Then, work on knotting the strings from the top left to the bottom right.

You should have the following pattern in place when you’re done with both sides: 4 cappuccino cords, 8 cream cords, 8 cappuccino cords, 8 cream cords, and 4 cappuccino cords.

At this juncture, string some beads through some jute twine and hang them down to jazz up your dream catcher. Also, loop some twine at the top to hang your dream catcher.

Additionally, you can comb the ends of the cords if you want a smooth finish or leave them be.

Finally, trim the ends so that they taper down naturally from the sides to the middle.
