Dream On Mandala, with strips of yarn attached
|
I've got to say~designing mandalas is so much fun, and they look so pretty! I wasn't really sure what I wanted to do with this one, until my oldest daughter asked if I could make her a dreamcatcher....That was my "A-HA!" moment!
So, I added a few lengths of yarn to each side, and a couple to the bottom, and voila! Instant dreamcatcher! Follow me for the free pattern for this dreamy mandala~ |
