Ever wished you could catch a dream? Or maybe even step into one? Dreamcatchers have been around for centuries, filtering out nightmares and letting the good ones flow through. But in Glow in the Dark, Ruby’s dreamcatcher is more than that—it’s her portal to adventure!
Now, it’s your turn to create your own dreamcatcher—one that’s totally you! Whether you want to keep nightmares away or make something magical for your room, this DIY craft is a fun way to mix creativity with a little bit of legend.

What You’ll Need:
• A hoop (wooden, metal, or even a sturdy bracelet)
• Yarn or string (any color that makes your dreams glow!)
• Feathers, beads, shells, or anything special to you
• A little patience and a whole lot of imagination
Step 1: Create the Web
Take your string and tie a knot on the hoop. Now start weaving! Loop the string around, crisscrossing it like a spiderweb. There’s no wrong way—just make sure you leave a hole in the middle for dreams to pass through.
Step 2: Decorate!
This is where the magic happens! Add beads, feathers, or tiny trinkets that represent your dreams. In our Heritage Day contest, artists used baobab wood, seashells, and woven grasses to connect their cultures. What will you use?
Step 3: Hang It Up
Find the perfect spot—above your bed, near a window, or even on your door to catch all the best dreams before they fade away.
Make It Your Own!
Dreamcatchers come from Native American culture, but they can be decorated with anything meaningful to you. Use materials from your state, town, or family traditions. It’s like making a dream-map of your world!
Now go—catch those dreams!
