DIY DreamcatchersMy six-year-old son started complaining that he had bad dreams, and he asked for a dreamcatcher. Well, I've never made dream catchers, but I immediately saw the opportunity to make one of our own.

There are so many ways a dreamcatcher can be made! I wanted a very colorful one so I came up with this design, perfect for a girl! But you can always change the colors and ornaments for your boy.

Supplies:
1 metal ring (5" diameter)
3 rolls of different-colored twine
Colorful feathers
Pre-cut foam shapes in the same colors as the twine

Driftwood furniture and decor is really popular, and I thought some of you who don't live close to the ocean might be interested in seeing some cool crafts that can be made with the stuff!

If you don't have an ocean trip planned any time soon, Google "driftwood for crafts" for purchase options. Then click through the slideshow to see DIY driftwood projects that you can make!
