Making the Tassels

1. Cut 12-inch lengths of yarn in each color (cream, teal, mustard, and coral).
2. Group 5 strands of yarn together, fold them in half, and attach them to the bottom edge of the dreamcatcher using a lark's head knot. To create a lark's head knot, place the folded end behind the crochet piece, pull the loose ends through the loop, and tighten.
3. Repeat this process for each color and continue until you achieve your desired fullness of tassels.

Assembly

1. Take your wooden hoop and place it around the outer edge of the crochet piece.
2. Using a whip stitch, secure the crochet piece to the wooden hoop. Make sure to space your stitches evenly for a neat finish.
3. Finally, ensure that the tassels are evenly spaced along the bottom edge of the dreamcatcher for a balanced look.
