Paper plate dream catcher

Today I will show you how to make a paper plate dream catcher – such a fun and easy craft for all ages. 


Dream catchers are super popular in the crafting community and you can create all sorts of versions of them –  Their whimsical look and sweet name make them popular decorations for homes and bedrooms.

This paper plate version has been simplified to make. They will love hanging them on their bedroom wall to catch the bad dreams in the paper web and and filter through the good ones. Snipping out the shapes and gluing them on is great fine motor practice too, they really are very easy to make.

How to make a paper plate dream catcher

You will need

  • Paper plates
  • Acrylic or poster paint
  • Yarn
  • Glue stick
  • Optional plastic gem stickers to decorate
  • Scissors
  • Paintbrush
  • Hole punch

 PROCEDURE

Fold your paper plate in half and cut the inner circle out to make your paper plate dream catcher frame.

Lay it over a sheet of newspaper or non stick paper and paint it to decorate.


Glue the strips into place by placing glue all around the inner ring and laying the strips over it. You can create a pattern with them if they like but I’ve glued them on in a hap-hazard sort of way with no pattern.


Punch four holes across the bottom of the paper plate, trying to keep them evenly spaced.

Tie yarn tails and any beads, feathers or anything you want to hang on yarns, onto the end.

Simple and easy!

Material required Craft sticks Duct Tape  Thread and decorative material Selection of pens. I used Sharpies, Gel Pens  and Neons pens We all decorated some craft sticks with our pens.  I love how individual they all turned out and that we all had a hand in doing them.  We went for a crazy rainbow of colours, but you could tone it down with a select palate.
