I’ve seen so many of these amazing dream catchers and wanted to try to make some for myself on a budget. I found a vintage table cloth, all of the embroidery hoops, and all of the trim for the bottom half of the dream catchers at a thrift store. I’m using some affiliate links to show you where you can find some of these supplies like these embroidery hoops and this Fabri Tac glue that I love, for a budget friendly price. The supplies can be found at a craft store as well and there are so many different things that can be used for the centers and hangings that it makes it fun to go on the hunt for fun items to use. I’ve seen many made with doilys but when I found this lace table cloth for $2, I knew it would cover all of the hoops for such a great deal! Start off by taking the hoop apart.
Then placed the lace over the plain hoop without the tightener.
Next place the hoop with the tightener on top and pinch the hoops together. Pull the lace through the back after pinching together until taught and then tighten the screw at the top of the hoop to hold tight. The excess fabric can then be cut from the back side.
I glued pieces of trim fabric on mine (just on the back bottom lip of the loop) but you can use many different items such as strings of leather, strings with feathers, beads, etc… I used “Fabri-tac” glue, which I love since it holds so tight. I found it at Walmart but have also seen it at various fabric stores. The bottom strung fabric could also be tied on if thin enough. These are so simple to make and my daughter enjoyed helping too.
I hope this helps you with a fun, affordable project. I sure love how they add so much texture to my space! Happy crafting!

Love those and I think I will stole your idea and make one for myself. maybe my daughter will love one too, she’s not too keen on lace, but she loves dream catchers. So maybe… who knows… Thanks for sharing. XOXO
Awesome! Enjoy! ?
Hi Natalie I have the 2016 cottage white magazine and I love your home …! and I esp love the side spindle dining room chairs are they old and if you don’t mind where did you find them ? I have a large dining room table similar to yours and I was thinking of painting the bottom white as well……thank you so much ~ Lorraine
Thank you so much, Lorraine! I found the black chairs at a garage sale but they are “hooker furniture” if that helps. ❤️️
Hi Lorraine! I thought I responded to this but am not seeing my response, so if this is the second time you’ve heard this just ignore me ? I found the chairs at a garage sale but they are “hooked furniture” if that helps. Can’t wait to see yours painted! ❤️
Oh thanks for the info I love those chairs ! will scout around and see if I can find a few .
hugs Lorraine
