Sometimes a trend comes along that’s just so, well, dreamy that it’s impossible to resist. We’ve been swooning over the gorgeous dreamcatchers we’ve been spotting in the gallery lately—so much so, in fact, that we couldn’t NOT add our own version to The Project Nursery Shop. I mean, just take a look at these beauties!

Gorgeous, right? And here’s one of the things we love the most about dreamcatchers. You might think that they’re best suited for a tribal-themed nursery, but we’re here to tell you that just isn’t so. From modern and geometric spaces, to eclectic, bohemian designs, to superhero-themed rooms and everything in between, dreamcatchers officially have a place in every nursery and in our hearts.

This is a beautiful thing to make for your child's nursery. I believe anything you make with good intentions has your own meaning-LOVE. This is a well-intended project. So many things in this world are criticized and misunderstood, but love will always be love, and more so for a child's room. I plan on making one for our son's room to gaze up at from his crib and hopefully gaze in wonder at the moving feathers and when he's old enough I'll explain to him what Native Americans used them for.

This is horrible cultural appropriation. I absolutely agree with Katie. She said it better than I ever could. You need to go back, read what she said, read what Native Americans have said about the misuse of their sacred items, then sit down and think long and hard about what you are doing. Or you can just dismiss it again so you don't have to think critically, whatever.
Non-Native American people who market their (honestly very pathetic) items as Native and Native "inspired" take away sales from actual Native Americans. In fact, it was such a problem that the United States government made it illegal to sell items marketed as "Native American" unless the person making that item is actually Native American. I have a feeling that you very carefully picked the names of the dream catchers you offered above to not violate this act. Because the Aztecs aren't recognized by the United States, you can throw "Aztec, Aztec, Aztec!!!"" around all you want. But the other one is only named "Sweet Dreamer"... I wonder why that is.
