Making a dream catcher yourself
Dream catchers are fun decorations that are supposed to hang in your bedroom. But they look so nice, of course they can also hang somewhere else on the wall or in front of the window. Dreamcatchers have been hung above the cots for years.
Originally it comes from the Indians, but it has been a popular thing with us for a number of years. The Indians believed that a dreamcatcher above your bed would stop the bad dreams. They get caught in the web, and then they slip off in the morning and they dry in the morning sun! The good dreams can just go through it. Therefore, always keep a hole in the middle. You never know, who knows!
It's nice to know that the colors in a dream catcher mean something. Red and golden yellow represent the elementFire.

I think pastel is the elementSweet represent! :)
