How Do You Make Sterling Silver Dream Catcher Earrings?
Dream catchers are a part of Native American tradition: they’re said to trap bad dreams and let good ones through. Their circular, petal-like woven structure makes a beautiful design for jewelry. You can weave your own dream catcher earrings using sterling silver wire and hoop components: using blanket stitches, you can create a silver web that can be embellished with beads and silver feather charms. Take one end of your sterling silver wire and wrap it around one of the hoop components, near the topmost link. Wrap it tightly two or three times. On your last wrap, make a loop and pull the wire through it instead of wrapping next to it. This will secure the wire. Take the end of your sterling silver wire, and imagine it’s a needle. Use it to stitch five to nine loops around the hoop component, depending on how large the hoops are that you’re using. These loops are similar to blanket stitches or half-hitch knots: you’ll loop the wire around the hoop, then bring it back through the loop y
