Mythical Unicorn Dream Catcher

Sweet dreams await! A cute addition to your child’s bedroom decor. 

Materials

  • Cardboard
  • Black permanent marker
  • Foam (white)
  • Glitter paper (gold)
  • Felt (light pink)
  • Yarn (cream, light purple, dark purple, and light pink)
  • Hot glue gun
  • Scissors
  • Ruler
  • Bowl (approximately 4.5" and 4” in diameter or use a bigger bowl if you want a larger sized dream catcher)
     

Instructions

  1. Trace the larger bowl using a black permanent marker on a piece of cardboard. Then trace the smaller bowl inside the larger bowl and cut out the inner circle. Repeat this step again so you have two cutouts of the hoop.
  2. Glue the hoops together so it forms one thick hoop.
  3. Glue a piece of light purple yarn onto the hoop, then wrap the yarn until it fully covers the cardboard hoop.
  4. With your first yarn color, cut out eight (8) 18-inch pieces. Then repeat this step with the three other colors.
  5. Now start tying the pieces on the lower part of the hoop. Choose a color to start with, then tie a knot around the hoop with your single yarn string so it dangles evenly. Then repeat this process with the remaining yarn colors.
  6. To begin the web on the inside of the inner circle, cut 12-inch pieces of yarn colors of your choice. Then glue each 12-inch piece of yarn across the hoop in various directions. You can use as many pieces as you like until you get the desired look you want.
  7. Draw a triangle shape on the glitter paper and cut it out to create the unicorn horn.
  8. Draw two ear shapes on your foam board and cut them out.  
  9. Take your light pink felt and draw two slightly smaller ear shapes than your white foam ears. These will be your inner ears.
  10. Glue the pink felt inner ears to each of the white ear shapes. Then, glue the whole ears to the dream catcher so that the pieces are surrounding the horn.
  11. To form the hanging loop, cut a 4-inch piece of dark purple string and create a loop by gluing the ends of the string together behind the backside of the unicorn catcher.
