This small dream catcher was made using modern materials. The web was woven onto a small metal ring, wrapped in leather and decorated with feathers, leather and glass beads. . A loop at the top allows for hanging.
The web ring measures 4 inches in diameter. The small bead in the center represents the spider who spun the web. The feather represents the breath of life. And of course, the circle represents the circle of life.

Dream catchers were traditionally hung on the cradle boards of babies or above the sleeping area of small children. They were believed to filter the dreams of those who slept beneath them. Bad dreams were caught in the spiders web and released at the break of light. Good dreams were allowed to pass through the small hole in the center thus protecting the sleeping child from nightmares.
