A Psychic Dream Catcher: 7-Steps To Make One

By Tana Hoy

The dream catcher is a very popular psychic craft. Since way back, people have used psychic dream catchers to invite pleasant dreams, and for "catching" and trapping bad dreams. But that's not the only use of these psychic dream catchers; these psychic tools are also used to entangle evil spirits in its web, and protect people during the vulnerable sleeping hours.

The 7 Steps to Create a Psychic Dream Catcher

These days, dream catchers are a very common psychic accessory and they're widely available in store. So let's say you want a more personalized dream catcher, let me show you how to create your very own psychic dream catcher in 7 very easy steps.

These are what you need for this psychic project:

- 1 piece 5" metal ring - 4 yards of suede lacing (1/8 inch diameter, this is a leather-like type of string) - 3 yards imitation sinew (you can easily get this at a Native American, New Age or Spiritual store) - 1 small conch (these come in different designs, feel free to choose which one you like to use) - 1 set of 12 crow beads (this set must be of the same color, we'll call this "color 1" set) - 1 set of 6 crow beads (choose another color for this set, we'll refer to this as "color 2" set) - 12 Feathers (feel free to use any variety you would like) - A pair of scissors - Glue - Clothes peg (to hold everything together while you make your psychic dream catcher)

Procedure:

1. Cut 2/12 yards of suede lacing and glue one end on the metal ring; use the clothes peg to hold it in place. Then, continue wrapping the lacing around the ring until the metal ring is completely covered. Don't forget to glue the ends as well, and make sure the glue is all dried up before you remove the clothes peg.

2. Now begin with the web for your ring. Start with tying one end of the imitation sinew to the ring. Have 9 half hitch knots all through the ring (about 1 1/2 inches away from each other). Remember to keep the sinew tight between the knots.

3. There after, begin with the next inner row of your web by tying hitches in the middle of the thread that you have already weaved on row 1. Keep on tying hitches around and around to make inner layers, until you end up with a tiny hole at the middle of your web. Once you get to the center of your ring, tie your thread into a double knot and mount it with a drop of glue. Then, remove any excess piece of thread from your web.

4. You have now your wrapped and webbed ring. Next, you must make that loop that you will use to hang your psychic dream catcher. For the loop, have a 12 inch piece of suede lacing and tie the two ends together in a secured knot. On the top of your ring, attach your loop by slipping one end through the ring, then around the ring, and above the knot. Pull the lacing tight to fasten it in place. Congratulations, you're now halfway done with your psychic dream catcher!

5. Let's add the hanging sections of your psychic dream catcher. You need 3 pieces of suede lacing that are each 8 inches long. On both sides of your ring, tiea piece of suede lacing about one third of the way up each side of the ring using a double knot. Next, string 3 crow beads onto each piece of lacing and have a knot secure the ends (alternately have a "color 1", followed by a "color 2", then another "color 1" bead).

6. So next, use the third piece of 8 inch suede lacing to attach the small conch to the middle of the ring (the conch will be tied to the ring using the suede lacing, with both ends of the lacing dangling down). Slip on 3 crow beads on each end of the lacing (same alternate pattern as the previous hanging sections of your psychic dream catcher).

7. Finally, the last step of your psychic project -- push 2 feathers each into the beads of the adjacent sides your psychic dream catcher (glue them if you have to) -- and the 8 other feathers must be placed on both sides of your conch (4 on each).

Congratulations on your very own psychic dream catcher! You may now trap bad dreams and enjoy every moment of dreamland.
