I've wanted to make a Romantic Dream Catcher ever since I saw these. When I heard there was a pool noodle party I thought hmm maybe I can use one to make a soft romantic style dream catcher.
I started with a blue pool noodle from the Dollar store, I split it down the middle and cut off about a three inch wide slice
I taped it all all around with packing tape to stabilize it. Then taped the ends together. I wrapped the tape covered pool noodle with ripped strips of muslin and then wrapped it again lightly with seam binding.
My oldest Daughter claimed this as her own as soon as I completed it. Its now hanging in her very shabby chic bedroom. She takes after her mother lol. I'm joining Debbiedoo's for the Pool Noodle Party.

I used vintage crochet lace that I purchased from the thrift store in place of the netting that's usually used in the center. I tied on ticking stripe fabric, vintage lace, twine, maribou feathers, pearls, rhinestones, crystals and a vintage look posies.
Oh wow! That is so pretty and completely original!! Thanks so much for sharing =)
