Can I just say that tassel-making is ridiculously fun and I want to make all the tassels? We added feathers and other decorative pieces. I made tassels while my daughter supervised. We wove the web using a different yarn than the one wrapping our embroidery hoop. Of course, depending on your child’s age and fine motor skills, they may be able to do all that on their own! I hot-glued the end of each piece when she was done, then tied on the next piece and repeated. We worked with medium-long pieces of yard that I tied on and my daughter wrapped.

We decided to wrap the embroidery hoop in yarn instead. Hot glue was our friend.įor whatever reason, washi tape is impossible to get where I live (seriously, it’s weird), and we did this project on a whim, so I didn’t have time order any. I’m not sure if I let my daughter to a lot more than the original author did, or what, but, yeah. The tutorial is pretty clear, but I found that we needed to use the hot glue gun a lot. We followed this tutorial from Project Nursery While we did have pretty much all of the supplies we needed at home, my daughter picked out some extra yarn that would better match the décor in her room-and had glitter that would be extra-sticky to catch the bad dreams. We headed out to the store and got an embroidery hoop (we only used the inside hoop, so we didn’t have the metal closure sticking out on the dream catcher), and feathers. I reminded her about what we had learned about dreamcatchers and asked if she wanted to make one and see if it helped. I remembered that I had come across a dreamcatcher craft project for making these and now seemed like a perfect time to break it out.

During the presentation, the presenter shared a few examples of a dreamcatcher, and talked about how dreamcatchers were made and used. Then I had a brilliant idea (if I do say so myself)! A few months back, my family attended a presentation given by a member of our local Native American tribe, the Ojibwe. We were pretty good on the obvious solution night lights, and they didn’t seem to be helping, so what to do? She picked the light out because it’s adorable, but it’s actually a camp lantern it can actually get pretty bright if it’s turned up all the way. (The Octo changes color, and she couldn’t decide which she like better, so she kept them both.) She likes to read in bed, so she has a little light. She’s always slept with a Twilight Turtle, and after we got an Octo for travel, she added that, too. My daughter was suddenly afraid of the dark, and having bad dreams and difficulty sleeping, and my husband and I were at a loss. The Twighlight Turtle is very popular with children
