1. The “Boho-Chic” Lace Doily Dream Catcher

If you aren’t a master of intricate weaving, this is the perfect “cheat” that actually looks more expensive than the traditional method.

  • How to create it: Stretch a vintage lace doily across a wooden embroidery hoop. Use a needle and thread to secure the edges of the lace to the hoop.

  • Pro Tip: Mix different shades of cream, off-white, and beige for a sophisticated, tonal look.
