Learn how to make a dream catcher out of paper Gather the supplies and print out the PDF templates. Cut out a square piece of colourful craft paper. Fold the paper in half. Then cut the paper using the template; this is to help you make a colored feather. Now make thin diagonal cut on the feather. Start cutting from the opened end but do not cut all the way to the closed end of the fold. You can see what I mean if you look at the image below. Make similar thin diagonal cuts all the way to the end of the feather. Open the fold and it will look like this:- Similarly, make a few more feathers in different colors. The colors you choose are up to individual choice. Take white cardstock paper. Cut out the bases for the dream catcher from the cardstock paper. Cut out colourful paper strips. Start gluing the colourful paper strips across the base. Finish gluing all the paper strips in whichever pattern you choose. Take the beads and thread. Insert colourful beads through the thread, tie a knot at the end so the beads stay in place.. Glue the paper feather at the end of the beaded thread. Similarly, glue rest of the feathers to the beaded threads. Now glue the threads on the base. Take the second base and glue it over the first base so it looks neat. Cut out the flowers from the templates and glue them on the base to decorate it.How to Make a Dream Catcher Out of Paper
