I made one! All I need now is feathers and it's complete! Thanks a ton, I'm trying to quit drinking and these crafts are really helping to keep me distracted.

[@malletgrl911]

Much more detailed and helpful than the other videos I've watched, thanks!

[@bradyweaver150]

I have been wanting a dreamcatcher for so long! I tried this and I made a really pretty one in an hour

[@dipdyednonsense4426]

Hey, this one of the most useful videos on KZbin! I tried TONS of other video's, but yours really did help! Thank you so much. :)

[@tillthecowscomehome2237]

lovely!!! i had an idea too about the beads - if the ones in craft shops are a bit too pricey for your budget, charity shops sell bracelets and necklaces for £1,00, that can be chopped up or unraveled for this lovely crafty idea;also, if you havn,t got string for the frame, you could use left over wool pieces,thick wool would be quick too. i like the way you show the steps slowly, too.really helpful. thanks for this, and hope to see many more crafty ideas from you soon!!

[@RachelWard1992]

Wow thats great! Im glad your finding another hobby to keep you occupied. Stay strong x

[@eduardodeoliveira2144]

Nice video. What a pretty teacher! Congratulations for your good job. Thanks a lot...

[@stevie35]

I love this video. my friends are asking me where i bought mine and its fun to say i made it. :)

[@RachelWard1992]

thanks, I'm glad you found it helpful, I bought the rings from a local arts and crafts store, you can get them from hobbycraft, or even hardware stores.

[@TopGearLovin]

You've done a great job! I love the colors you used and the beads and stuff were adorable! I want to make one for my friends birthday and if its anything like yours ill be over the moon! Thanks loads for the tutorial! xx

[@AaronMcBarron]

Thanks, verry helpful. And the camera wavering was like a free acid trip in the beginning!!! LOL

[@haleyanddiana]

No need to be rude, she was just being nice and taking time out of her day for others.

[@Goldphool]

Great video! To make it easier use a yarn or upholstery needle. Put the needle near the middle of the working yarn or string to make pulling your string through only half as long. Also if you use a button when you make your knot at the end it can be knotted more timeswithout it showing. :)

[@RayNDLE]

The Best DreamCatcher tutorial! Congrats!

[@RachelWard1992]

Thank you, im glad you enjoyed it and good luck with your own dreamcatcher :)

[@laurieannwilks343]

Great job showing how to do the webbing part of the dream catcher. Thank you!!!

[@battellAX]

Grand job there, thanks, now for my attempt!

[@RachelWard1992]

good luck ! i hope it turns out great :)

[@arsheka123]

Great.video this helped me a lot and yay I just made my first dreamcatcher.

[@RachelWard1992]

I think leather would actually look amazing !

[@RachelWard1992]

I would suggest starting of with string the same way you would as with the feathers, but instead of tying a feather to the end you can attach a chime :)

[@laurettechampagne514]

nice! you do a different way than i learned, but i like it! I will definitely try out the string approach and colored threading-cool idea!! I have used suede lace & actual sinew for the web, but i love to see different style's that people use and different materials used. so cool! thanks for sharing this.

[@lppurplegirl11]

Thank you so much! I just finished making one and it looks great!

[@jaellemellora]

Thanks for share! It looks a little dificult, but you explain it very well!

[@tnjsanchis]

Omg!! I jus finished mine. Its really nice. Thanks for the tutorial

[@emily22294]

Incredibly Helpful!!!

[@beck.o]

Rachel Ward why did it look like the background of a room was a screen

[@equalsmacsquared]

I was thinking the same thing the entire video! At first I thought it was some problem with the camera lens or something.

[@AllieCat1994]

I thought I was high....

[@tabikat989]

She used the KZbin editor to "stabilize" her video. The KZbin stabilizer always does the exact opposite...it makes videos look wobbly.

[@maggiethorenson]

Good job girl ! Thanks !!

[@pinkpoo007]

Thank you for sharing. I'm going to give it a go

[@joantan9096]

really helpful.. nice tutorial in making dream catcher.. :) thank you..

[@alicejones4214]

thank you so much for help. mine turned out just as i imagined :)

[@RachelWard1992]

thats awesome :) im glad i could help !

[@stormybaretta3122]

Great job thank you.Very easy step by step instructions.There beautiful :D Im going to use your tech. But in a very larger catcher as an accent peace above my bed.

[@Delenter]

This helped me a lot. Thank you!

[@RachelWard1992]

wow, thats such a good idea, i will have to give that a go :)

[@kinqwee4920]

What happened to the background?? Kind of warping or moving like crazy.. Makes me dizzy

[@giahannguyen6626]

I thought I was hallucinating at first.

[@MeganxStarburst]

not to freak you out or anything but... YOUR WALL IS MOVING.

[@spi8asxxx]

Nice one beautiful!

[@ronfishtube]

Thank you, excellent explanations

[@ohmylourdes1]

This is awesome!

[@RachelWard1992]

Thanks for the comment, and practice makes perfect :) im sure it looked great anyway :)

[@RachelWard1992]

Hahaha nope, it was a youtube editing error, I uploaded a new version of this without the shaky camera action, hopefully that will be more easy to follow :)

[@RachelWard1992]

brilliant idea, thanks :)

[@RachelWard1992]

Aww thank you so much and im glad i could help you out :)

[@RachelWard1992]

Thank you I'm glad you found it useful :)

[@RachelWard1992]

yeah of course you can use a wooden ring, and the rope around the ring is just so the 'web' section of the dreamcatcher doesnt slip and slide, but you dont have to use it. :)

[@RachelWard1992]

you welcome, I'm glad I could help out :)

[@sequoyahjya1234]

I use a small branch that i bend into a circle.more natural that way.feathers i find from birds that have died or moulted..

[@gracielagonzalez6321]

great video!!!!

[@oliviafrancis8399]

try wrapping with hay. i got mine from a craft store. it usually comes in a bag, to make bigger ones try tieing two together.

[@ladybugalyvia]

Great i want one!

[@evaryth]

I wonder how you would incorporate chimes into this so you can have chimes hanging from the bottom? The same way as you did the feathers?

[@RachelWard1992]

you can get the feathers from any craft shops near your area :)

[@atanta169]

Thank you so so much!! Very helpful!! =)

[@minimalisticmusic87]

The wall behind you is so wierd I swear. but i kind of funny :D The Dreamcatcher is good I like it and I will follow your example. Thanks luv. :)

[@boobearesra]

I like it !!!!

[@pichetkasemporn673]

Thank you, I'll make it tomorrow .:)

[@jakewebster1072]

great video! i had a quick question though. in your honest opinion do you think that instead of the white string on the side would it look okay with leather string?

[@TheOnlyPlip]

I have a question. Pls answer! Do you have to cover the outside with string?

[@iwusqa098]

thanks this is amazing i m defo gonna try this ! :)

[@moniklds]

Beautiful, well explained and simple.. but JUST ONE QUESTION... The thread you used is the "embroirdery thread" you showed at the beginning?? I ask because it looks much thicker! Thank you :)

[@annac42]

To stop the wall moving effect, go on to video editing and uncheck auto-stabilise or anything to do with stabilising as this is what youtube does sometimes when you check that. x

[@petrietri]

I was like, "I don't remember taking mushrooms"

[@alyssalambert4908]

can you make the ring any colour or does the yarn on the ring have to be white?

[@MsDarkradar]

thankyou for the advice!

[@RachelWard1992]

Haha iknow my camera desided to do it own thing haha, thank you so much for our comment, next time i make one i will deffinatly use leather :-)

[@eleanorkelly5971]

I really like it :) thanks :D

[@Strages_Powers]

Thank You great Vid

[@elmo1luvva]

do u HAVE to wrap around edge with string

[@Lilithemeo]

thank you so much! I can do it now but I don't know where to buy the feathers :(

[@dukessw7319]

Where did u buy the hoop and the 2 tone embroidery string from?

[@RachelWard1992]

you dont have to use feathers, you can use whatever bits and pieces you have around your house :)

[@teehee98nixie]

Thank you so much for doing this xD

[@RachelWard1992]

Thank You so much :)

[@RachelWard1992]

you can make it any colour you like :)

[@amyrawwrr1]

Gonna try this, Thank youu :D

[@seanwiese2128]

Yes I am thank you for asking:)

[@BeautyCutie1995]

Going onto loop 3, not sure how to transition from round 2 to 3 :$

[@jfryihfetih68953]

Where did you get the hoops from?

[@DraculasBabysNibbles]

This is trippy

[@jesusisking4745]

GIRL, I LOVE your accent.

[@millyphelps6448]

how long did it actually take you to make ?

[@Nenedaabratzz]

Does it really work

[@ishanachen3525]

Wow saint Patricks day just passed lol

[@screamingjunglefowl]

Thanks for your video! I can do it sooomuch better now~ But whr do you buy the ring? i only found one :O

[@nao7523]

Can we use a wire as outside ring? And what did you use for both inside and outside string? Was it sinew or wool thread?

[@lastdollarfilms]

If the wire is strong enough to hold the shape it should work but wire is generally easy to bend so I would not try it

[@nao7523]

I found a nice ring, so I won't do with wire. But anyway thank you for answering me. I like your dream catcher so much.

[@amandagioia1]

My parents were married in Germany n I have German Polish and Hungarian in me.

[@GrayShark09]

The youtube image stabilyser was used to eliminate the shaky motion, the site effect is this effect :P

[@sharontheana2840]

I was just going to write the same! :-D

[@Thiawesomegirl]

who is recording the background is moving

[@RachelWard1992]

thank you :)

[@RachelWard1992]

Thanks :)

[@haleyanddiana]

your really pretty

[@yejuneng]

You are awesome at making this.Did you learn it online？

[@spi8asxxx]

I can't believe I watch this video over and over just to look at you!!! Marry me PLEASE!!! p.s. I like this video more than th non wobbly one.

[@dariansawesome101]

Did you work at Camp Hoover? As Penny?

[@tknthezu53]

tks for uploading.......^^

[@jdc1078]

Ok, what's with the funhouse effect? By the way, as a native american, i would like to say good job on the tutorial. For those who would like a more authentic look, never use any metal, and try for leather wrapping and sinew string. Good job.

[@crazychickos]

your accent is so cuute!

[@thedirectionerkrystal195]

There is a belief that it will filter the bad dreams away @PinkRose Rosales

[@PinkRoseRosales]

what dose a dream catcher do for you ?

[@Buzzbee223tv]

It's called thread and you can use this type for crocheting
