Dreamcatchers have come a long way—from hanging them over a baby’s cradle for protection against nightmares, to being used for weddings, art installations, and now a popular home decor item. This handcrafted object, is essentially a hoop with a woven web of sinew strands with feathers, beads, and crystals attached.

Another one is the golden leaf dreamcatcher, crafted from wooden wrath and macrame cords. It’s vibrant, shimmery and oh-so-festive!
