Where the dreamcatcher comes from
A dreamcatcher is originally an object from the culture of indigenous peoples in North America. According to tradition, the web in the ring keeps bad dreams away, while good dreams slide down along the pendants. Later, the dreamcatcher also became a well-known motif in hippie and boho styles, as a wall hanging and as jewelry. Because of this, everyone immediately recognizes it as part of an Indian look.
How do you wear the dreamcatcher during a Carnival parade?
During a Carnival parade, it is best to wear the dreamcatcher on top of your costume, so that the ring remains visible above a tunic, poncho, or fringe vest. Adjust the cord so that the pendant hangs in the middle of your chest and does not disappear behind a belt or cape. A headband and face paint in earth tones match the brown and black of the necklace. If you are going to the pub after the parade, the pendant also looks good on its own on a plain dark shirt.
Choose the Mai dreamcatcher and your Indian costume for Carnival will immediately have a recognizable centerpiece.
