Mounting Hide onto a Frame/how to get it to shrink correctly

Submitted by Sherry on 06/08/2003. ( delta78063@yahoo.com ) 69.19.16.1

I want to stretch a piece of hide suspended in a permanent frame tied with leather rawhide (example: stretching a piece of hide inside of a dream catcher), what is the process? Can I just wet the leather and stretch it inside the frame and will it tighten up as it dries or will it shrink too much? Any help is appreciated.
