We had a craft teacher came to our apartment to teacher us how to make a dream catcher the other day. My neighbors and I were warmed up since we saw the notice a week ago.
I have seen dream catchers before. Was wondered how did people make it? Today, I am going to make one!
On the table in our community room, the teacher displayed some colorful beads, strains, ribbons, dry grass and some big rings. She passed a big ring to each one of us and showed us how to rolled some dry grass around the ring until the dry grass covered the whole ring.
My Oh My! No wonder the teacher said, “to roll the grass around the ring could be the hardest part of the dream catcher!” With my only one hand to pull the grass around the ring is already not an easy task. Even I used pins to fasten the ring on the cork board. But the grass rolled on the ring would not stay in their place! It kept on getting loose! I have to tighten the grass every now and then.
If I have another hand to hold on the grass that had rolled on the ring……………..
While my neighbors all started to weave the net, I was still struggling with the grass!
Finally! The ring was finished! You have never seen such an ugly dream catcher ring! The ends of the grass stuck out everywhere from the ring! I cut off those grass end but the ring was not smooth at all! It was just as ugly as it could be!
I saw some of my neighbors with their dream catcher in their hand. With a big smiling on their faces. Walked out of the room proudly.
The room temperature rose up on me, I took off my jacket!
I will finish it! I won’t give up! No matter what!
“Never give up! Never Surrender!”—Who said that?
The clock on the wall said 3:30! I was fighting with this dream catcher for an hour and a half now! I was the only one and the teacher in the community room!
Who cares! My dream was done!!!!
Even it doesn’t look very nice, I love it! My very own Dream Catcher!
I think it is beautiful!
