Dream Catchers

I've always thought dream catchers were beautiful but I never thought of trying to make one my self, I always just oogled at ones I saw at festivals and markets. Then one day my brother learned how to make them. After months of bugging him, he finally taught me how to make them. I'll be honest and let you know that patience is definitely needed to make these. But once you get the hang of it they get easier to make and you can explore with different styles, sizes and patterns. Dream catchers are great gift ideas (I personally think so :) ) and they look awesome.

Dreamcatchers are said to keep all bad dreams in its web through the night, vanishing when the sun comes up and letting good dream pass through, down the feather and to the sleeper. 

Here are some pictures of ones personally made by my brother.
