Halloween dream catcher

Dream catchers are such a fun way to decorate! And while these beautiful decorations are perfect for any season, putting a fun holiday spin on the classic design is a great way to add a cute seasonal decoration to your home. This spider dream catcher is such a great Halloween decoration!

On top of being a simple Halloween craft, this fun handmade dream catcher is also cheap! With the exception of the embroidery hoop, all the supplies used in this craft were purchased at the Dollar Tree store! I’ll get into more details below but basically what you need to make this spider dream catcher is an embroidery hoop, paint, spider web, tulle, ribbon, Halloween flowers, spiders, and hot glue gun.

I used a plain wooden embroidery hoop for this craft, so the first step to making my spider dream catcher was to paint the embroidery hoop black. After the paint has dried completely, open the embroidery hoop and spread the faux spider web across the bottom hoop. Just stretch the spider web out and wrap it around the hoop until you’re happy with the placement of the web. Then, secure the web in place by putting the embroidery hoop back together and tightening the spring.

After you have your spider web set, add decorations to the bottom of the spider web dream catcher using tulle and ribbon. First, cut the black tulle, spiderweb tulle, and ribbon into long strands. Then, cut each piece of tulle in half lengthwise to make the strips thinner.
Fold each piece of ribbon or tulle in half to create a loop on the top.

Place the loop inside the embroidery hoop and pull the ends over the bottom of the embroidery hoop and through the loop to secure the ribbon in place. Continue adding ribbon and tulle to the bottom of the hoop until the desired fullness is reached.

Add a little bit of glamour to your dream catcher (and cover up your ribbon loops) by adding some Halloween flowers to the top of the ribbons. Remove the stems from the Halloween flowers using sharp scissors and attach the flowers to the top of the ribbon with a hot glue gun.

A spider dream catcher wouldn’t be complete without spiders, right? Attach a few glitter spiders and black spiders to the dream catcher by adding glue to the back of the spiders and placing them along the edge of the embroidery hoop, on top of the flowers, and in the center of the spider web.

Finish by attaching a ribbon loop to the top of the embroidery hoop to hang the spider web dream catcher. Then, find a spooky location to hang your dream catcher and enjoy the fruits of your labor all Halloween!

Sounds easy, right? Then what are you waiting for, go ahead and make your own dream catcher! Below are the detailed supplies and the simplified step by step!
