Take it and start wrapping it around the hoop very tightly so that it holds well afterwards. To hold it, glue the ends with glue or simply tie a knot.

Now comes the most clever part – the canvas. This can be woven in different ways. Some paintings are much more complicated than others. To make a dream catcher, choose a burlap or other weave to weave the hoop. To do this, knot one end of the string to the hoop and start working it from left to right, as in a clockwise direction. Make an octagon or hexagon while passing the rope around the ring. The goal is to form angles. Then, bring the other end of string around the last knot and start again with an octagon or hexagon. Continue this way until you reach the center of the hoop. At the end, tie well by forming a knot or using glue again.
