As you were talking about the hoops made of willow, I had to smile. When I was little, my granny used to threaten to go "get a hickory", which meant get a switch. And believe you, me, you do not want granny to get that hickory. They stung your legs. She never overdid it but she kept us in line. I miss my granny. She was a tiny woman with hair down to her ankles. She lived in the mountains. Thank you for your hard work making this video.
Finally a tutorial on making a traditional dream catcher not using anything but natural items. Hoping to find a willow here in Florida, it is so humid even I can find it, drying it might be a problem but want to try this version. Your easy to understand, calm and keep the work in from of the camera...thank you....:)
Thank you for posting this video! I was at a craft class today and we made a dream catcher using a sewing hoop, doily, and ribbons, so I was curious how to make real ones! You explained the process so good; easy and simple to understand! This video was great!
(I know this is an older video but...) FYI, there's only supposed to be _one_ bead in the "webbing" of the dreamcatcher. This is known as the spider bead, since the dreamcatcher itself is supposed to represent a spider's web. It's not only the web, but the spider that catches the bad-dreams / nightmares. Multiple beads just turns it from "traditional" to "decorative". (To most of you, I'm sure it doesn't matter one way or the other, but I figured I'd chime in. I'm NA and have had a dreamcatcher over my bed since my earliest memories. Every time I move, the first thing I do in a new home is make sure I have one above my bed. I could count on one hand the number of _true_ nightmares (not including just plain creepy or weird dreams) I've had in my 30-odd years of life, so I'm definitely a believer in them.
It depends on which tale and which tribe you are going by. This is a traditional dreamcatcher, where the many beads work together to rid the bad dreams.
I can't say that I'm fluent in every tribe's traditions, so I'm sure that in that vague sense, you're right. It's probably traditional....somewhere.
Also, can't remember if you brought this up in the video or not, but the hole in the center isn't so that good dreams can "pass through" like most people think...rather, they "drip down" the trailing decorations (often tipped with feathers) to land on the sleeper's head. Again though, I've heard both versions, so I'm sure that for some tribes either version is correct.
Actually, the traditional dreamcatchers have 4 beads: red, black, yellow and white. Representative of the four types of people sharing the ring of life..
Yes it may be traditional but I like to put 2 or 3 on mine you can use as many as You like for your personal ones.
I loved this video
You are great thank you!!!
Wanted to learn how to make a dream catcher from natural things.great ideas! Thank you!

Thank you Desert Cloud, for a very comprehensive tutorial on Dream Catchers.
than you for sharing how to make dreamcatchers
Wow, I"m late to the party! Just realized you put this up in 2016! I really enjoy all of your vids! you do a wonderful job of explaining everything! Thank you for taking the time to teach so many different cool projects! I'm subbed and binge watching! :-)
Very nice instructions on making the web and the hoop. Great job!
Appreciate this video. Most have no talking and go so fast. Also love the traditional way you created. Blessings!
Thank you these instructions are great. Granddaughter has had her share of bad dreams and I thought to help her make one of these . Power of the mind it could really be a good thing for her.
Will be using palm leafs they dry really strong people have made baskets out of palms. So I'm using what I have. 😉That is what it is all about. Bloom where you are planted. Cheers
Your teaching approach is wonderful and easy to understand. Thanks for starting me on my creative dream catcher journey.
❤️
Thank you 😊
This is my 2nd time watching this . Im going to try it tomorrow thank you. I also am a big fan of using what i have to make things work.
I improvise too. One time my husband and 2 kids were driving from Spokane Washington to Sunnyside Washington. In a 79 Jeep wagoner. It was loaded to the hilt as we were moving back to Sunnyside. We blew a tire..ugh. went to change the tire and there wasn't a bar for the jack. So we used my can opener. I still have that can opener to this day. True story. It was 1987...
Thank you for sharing! I am a high school librarian and I will be showing your video to students as we make our own dream catchers.
Wonderful!
Thanks so much I just finished mine it turned out amazing for my first!!! It’s going to Australia to a mate there :) ❤
Wonderful!
I really enjoyed your ‘natural’ way of making a Dream Catcher! It’s more what I prefer over the frilly ones made by other persons. For years I have found feathers intriguing...have a collection from various birds, all a gift of molting season from birds I guess. Sure wish there was willows where we are so I could try my hand at making my own Dream Catcher. In my family genealogy there’s 2 Indian blood lines that I’m proud to say I am part of....thanks for your terrific video!
Thanks :)
thank you a very good instruction video and a very clear speaking voice I usually have trouble with American accents great and Hi from Australia
Thaaaank youuuu so much for this video! I love it😍 Hi from Slovenia🙋🏼♀️🦋🌳
Hello 😊
Thankyou, it's been so long since I made 1 I forgot Lol, now IL make 2 for my daughtersYou do wonderful work and easy to follow.
❤
Well done! I have a channel as well and know how challenging it can be to do a tutorial. you're very easy to listen to and very knowledgeable. I'm going to attempt to make one for my mom for Christmas. can you use the oven on a very low setting for the drying process? I'm in Tx but it's still chilly in Nov.
Thank you
You the bomb I'm still watching I love your expertise however I'm waiting for the other beat the one that says if your not native what to do.. I'll watch and wait...still I love your video thank you for your expertise real candid straight up video
You don't have to be native to make a dreamcatcher. Glad you enjoyed the video.
P.S. to my comment below for those who have trouble working with sinew, like me, I have been using DNC embroidery thread. I know sinew is traditional and just wish it didn't cause so much trouble in terms of the stickiness and splitting...as the finished look is wonderful. But despite almost a year at it, looked for a close to natural replacement. If I could show you my photo of how it looks done on a feather, it might be a help to someone else too.
I want to start an etsy, well done, I make pipes out of sumac, been lazy for a while though, never really sold them, gave them as gifts, thats a lie, i sold one
Looks great video can you put it up really like it good and simple keep doing them and grateful people with disabilities and cannot see properly thank you
this is definately the traditional way! awesome & beautiful!! i love dreamcatchers and enjoy making thm!!! u do an amazing job!
Thank you!
give credit where credit is due :)
Can you use a rose vine instead of a willow switch?
Great video btw!!
As long as it will harden in shape, I don't see why not. Thanks for watching!
This is one of the best tutorials I have seen.
Hi, (Vivian from New Jersey). I bought a huge one from Marshalls for $30. I will have fun making my own from your tutorial. Great video.
Where do you get the Willow branches they don't have my here am from South Dakota I make all kinds of dream catcher I love here in casa grande
I took them from a willow tree in my yard.
I live in Arizona also. Where did you get the Willow branch?
From the tree in my front yard.
Cool. Where’d you learn how to do this?
I figured it out and I have a lot of Navajo friends.
This video was one of many I could have clicked on.. I do NOT believe in coincidence.. very cool🤙 you do a great job explaining and sharing your ideas, thank YOU 🙏
I am having a really hard time finding the metal cones to clamp on the feathers. any suggestions? I have gone to hobby lobby, Walmart, michaels and Joanns :(
Check out Etsy, Ebay, or Amazon.
Go to Crazy Crows Trading Post online, they have those and all craft needs, very good prices and shipping...
Do craft stores sell these branches??? Where would I purchase them if I don't have trees?
Don't know. You have to look around.
What kind of string did u use?
Sinew.
can i use wicker instead of sinew??
Only one way to find out... try it!
Am full blood Lakota Sioux
Ooh, I would love to see some of the things you make.
I am on Facebook I usually have my jewelry and dreamcatcher s on there just go to summer rain American horse
Lol i was expecting some dude from the REZ what tribe are you ???
LOL. I am not Native American.
Most dreamcatchers on here are now so intricate, they are like works of art. Beautiful, but have lost the essence of what they should be. (Many close up the centres too!) Yours is the first video I found that makes them more natural and traditional. Though I have to use man made materials for some of mine, I try not to make them too elaborate or fussy.
Wonderful video, thank you.
Wow, thank you!
I’m a RUclipsr also @frontagegamingXD97 but wow. I got to say your confidence and your smile just lights up the room! I hope you know this is the BEST dreamcatcher video, I don’t care it isn’t 4 k it’s the best. You go through every detail throughly, and I also like the comment about the one bead. This video is 10/10 better than Mr beast. Thanks so much I’ve watched every video!!!!!!!!!!
That's awesome, thank you!
@@DesertCloudSoapworks i hope you make more video's!
