This lovely dream catcher is made from an embroidery hoop, vintage sheets, a doily and lots of pretty lace. It’s a gorgeous project that’s super easy to make!
If you follow me on Instagram, you may have seen the teaser photo that I posted for this project last week. No one knew exactly what I was making, but since it involved strips of vintage sheets and lots of cream lace, everyone was excited to see what it was!
The only other supplies that I needed for this project were a colorful doily (if you can’t find a pretty doily in your favorite color, 100% cotton doilies are easy to dye!), an embroidery hoop, and a few dabs of hot glue. I used only the inside ring of the embroidery hoop, and I used the hot glue to wrap the hoop with strips of vintage sheets.
I used more strips of vintage sheet fabric to tie the doily to the hoop. I wish that my hoop had been just a big larger (or that the doily was a little smaller) to give my hoop a more traditional “dream catcher-ish” look with more open space around the perimeter…but I also wanted to use supplies that I already had on-hand. I still think it’s really pretty though!
I recently bought a bunch of cream colored lace from my friend Michele at The Scrap Shoppe, and it was perfect for this project!
I tied strips of the lace on to the bottom portion of the hoop, and then trimmed the ends so that they were different varied lengths.
I added a few of the remaining vintage sheet strips in with the lace as well, just to give it a bit more color.
I really love the way it turned out! It looks right at home in my master bedroom next to my vintage sheet headboard and my vintage sheet #5!
I’ve already had requests to make a couple more dream catchers for birthday gifts, so I won’t be the only one catching vintage sheet dreams this summer!
