White and Cream Dreamcatcher.

I managed to find enough leftover materials from last week's white dreamcatcher to make another one, which is now up for sale in my Folksy shop! And at the bargain price of only £5! After all, I'm not doing this for profit, it's just something fun I enjoy and occasionally my sister joins in, which is always nice. So the price is just to cover materials.

Anyway, this one has slightly less hanging off it than the other one did, but you can see it all better. And the sequins didn't want to cooperate so they might be re-done before anyone buys it.


UPDATE
Also now for sale is this Love Letter Embroidery Hoop, perfect as a wall hanging!

Some Crafty Bits from this Weekend.

After seeing this dreamcatcher photo on weheartit I really wanted to make my own version. My sister's made a few which are for sale in our Folksy shop, Wishcatcher Crafts but this was a special one I made just for me :)

I basically just used an old bangle, wrapped fabric round it and hung all sorts of fabrics and materials, as well as a few charms, from the bottom. I also followed this tutorial to do the stringy bit in the middle of the hoop. Very pleased with how it turned out! I might try and see if I can develop a simpler one to sell in the shop - this one has too many different bits hanging off it, which is fine if I already have all the stuff but I don't so it would wind up being really expensive to buy all the materials.

I also made these paper hearts out of sheets from an old book (I found this idea on a blog but I can't seem to find it again, I'll link to it if I do)

They're very simple to make, just strips of paper at different lengths and held together with split pins. A cute little extra in the corner of my room :)
