This beginner-friendly project is quick, easy, and can be crocheted in just 30 minutes (or less).

It's a very versatile pattern that features a puff stitch flower in the center and allows you to play with different yarn color combinations and bead combinations.  It’s such a trendy and fun project that you can use as a stash buster as well, since it uses up very little yarn to make.  I loved crocheting it with different colors and fibers!

Fast and addictive to make, you’ll love the finished product equally as this mini décor is oh-so-cute!

Chic accessories and items like these sell well at craft fairs and make excellent gifts, or as a treat for yourself.  It’s a must-have Spring and Summer accessory to add a fashionable bohemian (boho), gypsy, hippie, free spirit, vintage, or festival touch.

Tassel Instructions

You're going to love making tassels with my Quick & Easy (no-hassle) Tassel Tutorial!  It has step-by-step written instructions with photos to guide you along the process.  Once you have finished the tassel, sew it to the bottom of the dreamcatcher, fasten off, and weave in the ends.

Here's a sample visual from my Mint Spirit Earrings pattern, which quickly illustrates how it's done! 

To match my dreamcatcher, make three tassels and sew them to the bottom of the dreamcatcher.
