Complete with spider gem. Extra strength for deep sleepers like me.

The fishes and the beads are made of clay.

For my sister. A very traditional form. The charms represent tragedies in her past and the hope that she may not be haunted in her dreams.

The bead in the webbing represents the spider waiting to devour what is trapped.

By far the hardest part was making a round hoop out of sticks - now I understand why the commercial ones are made on metal and plastic rings!

Dreamcatcher made with black licorice wheels and candy.
And since it's entirely made of candy (that kind of candy), once it's played its part and captured your worst nightmares, you can get rid of them the best possible way: by eating them...

I made it for my 7 year old daughter based on her favorite natural things, monarch butterflies and pansies. She likes it a lot, so I call it a success! :)

Made of paper (and thread).

Aircraft cable, brass wire and copper wire from a motor winding.

I used these instructions as a general guide: http://www.nativetech.org/dreamcat/dreminst.html

Modern dreamcatcher designs are quite different from the original design, and use modern materials, so I thought -- why not take that a step further? Traditionally, dreamcatchers for adults also reflected the interests and personality of the recipient. This is a gift for a friend who has to consume ginger ale (or tea or something) every day to counteract the effects of nausea-inducing medication. (Fortunately she likes ginger!)

The only materials used were two aluminum ginger ale cans, a loop of plastic from a two-liter bottle, and the labe;s from two two-liter bottles. No glue even! :D
