BUST Magazine's Annual Craftacular Is Happening This Weekend for All Your Silkscreened, Découpaged and Knitted Holiday Needs

BUST Magazine's annual Craftacular is happening this weekend, an event that corrals over 200 DIY vendors peddling their handmade jewelry, art, houseware, clothing, food, toys, etc. into a warehouse in Soho. It's Etsy, but in 3-D. The shindig has expanded into two days this year (Saturday, 11am-8pm; Sunday, 11am-7pm) and includes how-to classes on projects featured in the BUST DIY Guide to Life for those inept with crafts but whose hearts are in the right place.

Fair warning, last year I went to buy something for my sister; ended up with a wallet silkscreened with a picture of a rabbit, a charm bracelet, and two découpaged light switch plates for myself. I don't even know how it happened. There was so much to look at, and so many things had pictures of birds on them, and there was a DJ playing a bunch of Grizzly Bear songs, and I just sorta got caught up in the moment — the point being if you have a habit of buying stuff for yourself while Christmas shopping for others, this is a double-edged sword, but, ugh, so worth it. Admission is $3 and the first 300 shoppers each day get a free goodie bag. Check here for more info.
