How to make a dream catcher.

As requested, I'm gonna post about how I made my dream catcher. I'll try to be as specific as possible but if there are any loopholes, you can ask me in my Formspring HOWEVER I can't give you a 100% assurance that I'll know how to answer them.
You can start of with a theme of your choice and work from there. For example, I wanted my dream catcher to be bohemian-ish whereas Beckie wanted hers to be colourful :)

Materials -
1. A metal/ wooden ring of whichever diameter you prefer.
2. Approximately two yats of string to glue around your ring (STRING ONE)
3. Feathers.
4. String to attach your feathers to your ring (STRING TWO)
5. Beads. A few small ones and one bigger one.
6. A lot of nylon string to create the pattern in your ring (STRING THREE)

Procedures -
1. Glue STRING ONE around your metal/ wooden with hot glue. Try not to overlap it so as to make it more even. Prettier!!
2. Weave out the pattern of your choice with STRING THREE.

You can visit this website to see how!! It looks complicated but in fact it's really repetitive and easy!
3. On the last round, attach your large bead to STRING THREE before weaving. The bead signifies the spider that's on the web :)
4. Squeeze two/ three small beads into your STRING TWO and attach your feathers at the end.
5. Tie a strand of STRING THREE to the top of the ring as your "handle".

You can backtrack to http://sellmeyourheart.blogspot.com/2011/06/dream-catcher.html to see how I did it!
Okay I hope this helps hahaha sweet dreams!!
