For my project I chose to make a dream catcher made out of yarn and wood. I chose this because I've always been intrigued by weaving and this was my chance to learn how. First I cut a circle into a square piece of wood using a jigsaw. Next I drilled 16 holes around the circle for the string to go through. Thirdly I painted the wood light purple in one corner, dark purple in the other, and then blended them together in the middle. Then I weaved the small green string through the holes that are a base for the actual yarn. I began weaving with all different colors until I got to the outer edge of the circle. Lastly I tied the tails on the backside and cut them. What I found successful about my piece is the faded purple wood. If I did it again I would drill an odd number of holes because it makes the weaving process easier.
