How to do it
Video guide Get step-by-step instructions on how to make a dreamcatcher with crystals in it.
1 Cut 1 x 4 m and 1 x 1.5 m of cord.
2 Divide the ring into eight equal sections by marking the ring with a pencil.
3 Tie the 1.5 m cord to the ring with a lark’s head knot at one of the points on the ring.
4 Make a half hitch knot around the ring at all eight points marked on the ring.
5 Tie a knot at the last mark.
6 Now use a half hitch knot to wrap around the middle of the cord between the last round you have wrapped, starting at cord no. 2.
7 Thread glass beads onto the cord using a beading needle after the second round of half hitch knots.
8 Distribute the beads randomly in the third round of half hitch knots in the middle of the cord from the last round.
9 Make five rounds in the ring to create a web. Thread a rose quartz onto the cord in the middle using a beading needle.
10 Pull the cord over to the opposite side and place the rose quartz crystal in the middle of the dreamcatcher. Secure the crystal with a square knot.
11 Cut off the end.
12 Measure 4 m to the edge all around. Double the cord and make a lark’s head knot to start along the edge of the ring.
13 Make a half hitch knot around the metal ring with the doubled cord. Wrap 11 times between each of the 8 points that form the web in the middle.
14 Fill the entire ring with half hitch knots.
15 Finish the cord with a double knot around the hanging cord.
16 Sew together the ends using the beading needle.
17 Cut off the ends.
18 Cut 2 x 60 cm and 2 x 30 cm of string for the crystal pendant.
19 Double the 4 x 60 cm cord and make a lark's head knot around the ring at the bottom.
20 Use 1 x 30 cm cord to gather the cords under the ring.
21 Make a macramé gathering knot.
22 Divide the cord into 4 sections, each with 2 cords. Hold one tightly and make a double half hitch knot around with the other – 1.5 cm below the double half hitch knot.
23 Now tie three double half hitch knots staggered 1.15 cm down. Use two cords, one from each knot in the previous row, to create a diamond pattern.
24 Place the rose quartz crystal in the middle of the three knots before making the fourth double half hitch knot.
25 Make another row of four double half hitch knots around the crystal. Tie a total of four rows with four double half hitch knots tightly around the crystal.
26 Gather the cords under the crystal with a 30 cm cord.
27 Tie a macramé gathering knot with the 30 cm cord.
28 Cut the ends evenly so that the tassel is around 11 cm long.
