Use the hole puncher to punch 6 holes evenly around the plate. Make sure to punch the holes from the inside of the plate for a better angle.

Weave the Yarn

Cut 5-6 feet of yarn and weave the yarn through the holes however you think your dream catcher should look. Make sure not to pull the strings too tight because the plate will bend.

Adding Beads (Optional)

Add a few beads to the yarn as you are weaving them through the holes. As you complete this step push the beads through the holes as you go. The beads can sometimes be difficult to weave through the holes so we made this step optional.

Tie a Knot

Tie knots on each end of the strings when you are finished to ensure that it stays in place.
