FEATURED STORE: HANDMADE DREAMCATCHERS!



Dreamcatchers are undeniably pretty. But did you know what dreamcatchers are all about? In Native American culture, this beautiful handmade beauty is a sacred amulet. It is decorated with sacred items such as feathers and beads. It is believed that dreamcathers will “banish” bad dreams and “replace” it the sweetest dreams. Mothers also hang dreamcatchers over their baby’s cot or bed to ward off evil spirits. 


Dreamcatchers were designed carefully and everything about it carries a meaning, from the hoops to each bead. Because it is not originally from Malaysia, it’s very difficult to find some really good designs. But dreamcatchers are getting more and more popular amongst youngsters especially through the influence of social media websites such as Tumblr and We Heart It, where many beautiful and inspiring pictures are posted and shared. Thanks to its unique design, indie lovers and everyone who loves mythical crafts would love this very much.


Another interesting  fact about dreamcatchers is that gamers would also fall for it especially war- genre games player, ie. the recent popular game Assassin’s Creed, as dreamcatchers assimilate part of the warrior’s costume design. Dreamcatchers also come in different forms, such as décor hanger, bracelet, necklace, and even earrings.
