How to Make a Super Cute Wall Hanging/Dream Catcher!
I was so excited to hear that my cousin Megan is having a baby girl and even more excited when she asked me if I would make her a wall hanging for her baby room!
She sent me a photo of her baby decor and my goal was to match her art work for the room. I mean can we JUST talk about how cute these baby animal photos are?!
In celebration of this momentous occasion, I decided to give make her a super cute crochet wall hanging/dream catcher. It was so cute that I’ve included a step by step tutorial so you can make one for yourself!
