This pretty bead and feather home decor kit from Kraftika (formerly Czech Beads Exclusive) caught my eye because of its novel use of laser cut wood and acrylic components. While the creators called it a dreamcatcher, it is not one. A true Native American dreamcatcher is made out of very specific materials and its proper use is culturally determined.
Having said that, this kit has some inspired elements of the traditional dreamcatcher in that it has a decorated disc and some stylized feathers.
I particularly liked how the two wood pieces sandwich the plastic piece. The holes of the plastic disc and the feathers allow for easy beading.
