Kristi was working on a K while I worked on my dream catcher. And we were eating strawberries with sour cream and brown sugar. Be jealous.
I painted the tips of my feathers gold.
This little dog is so curious and has to check everything out.
Before our craft night I had soaked a bunch of branches in water to bend them into the half moon shape. I took them out of the water, dried them off...and broke just about all of them. I was able to bend one branch without breaking it, so I put some string to hold it in the half moon shape. Then I put the jute on for the dream catcher part. I took off the string that was bending it in the half moon shape, thinking the dream catcher section would keep it in shape. I was wrong. The stick went back unfolded back into its normal straight line shape. I didn't take a photo because I was pouting but it looked ridiculous.
This was also in the middle of my whole mirror fiasco (read about it here). I really felt like Pinterest had failed me. You just can't trust people who make money off their blogs. They tell you how easy it is but it's a lie. Just buy it online while you're hanging out with your sister eating strawberries. And then leave positive feedback for the seller because there's a little bit of anguish in certain projects.
Kristi made a very nice K but she was still pondering some finishing touches. So a couple weeks later she came back over. I used my Dremel to shorten some screws for her so she could add her arrow and knob pulls (to hang necklaces) and it was done.
I would have been thinking jealous, negative thoughts about her perfect project except....she brought me a stick with a natural curve she had turned into a dream catcher. What a thoughtful sister!! I added the yarn at the bottom with the feathers. Then she helped me drill a hole at the top so we could nail it to the wall and it was done.
I'm kind of in love with how these photos line up to make one long photo because that was not intentional. Must be the universe's way of apologizing.
