For such arts and crafts for 5 year olds, you will need cardboard, scissors, glue, felt, yarn, and glitter paper. If you would prefer to make a fall-inspired dreamcatcher for your easy fall crafts for kids, you will first need to gather some of the required materials. You will need some feathers, leaves, yarn or thread, embroidery hoops or rings, and other materials you want to add to your dreamcatcher. You can either use an embroidery ring or weave a wreath from a tree branch to make it more natural. Next, you will need to weave the string around this embroidery ring or wreath. Tie a knot on the ring and tie more knots a couple of inches away. You need to make about six to eight knots on the ring, depending on the radius of your ring. Continue the pattern and tie the long piece of string to the center of the knots you made earlier. Once you have finished weaving, you can add the leaves and feathers to your ring using strings at varying heights to make it look beautiful. That's it! Your dreamcatcher is ready! As we have said before making dream catchers are crafts for older kids that they particularly enjoy. Try it and let us know!
