The holiday season is upon us all, and for better or worse, there is no way to put it off any longer. You know what we’re talking about: the inevitable, sometimes tedious and tense, stress that is gift shopping. And following that comes the art of wrapping, which in recent years seems to have become an prestigious competition in its very own creative league.
But don’t worry, this holiday season, your BFFs’, older cousins’, and maybe even your cool and somewhat out-there aunt’s gifts will have a chance to be wrapped up in in a brand new twist on gift-wrapping. Like, how does dildo-decorated wrapping paper sound to you? To us, it sounds kind of awesome, possibly redefining the meaning of NSFW, or should we say, “NSFC” (Not Safe For Christmas)? At the BUST Craftacular this upcoming weekend (December 9-10), our friends at Brooklyn-based printing company the Shoestring Press, with the help of a pretty rad silkscreen press, are ready to help meet all of your wrapping needs and teach you how to make your very own silkscreen printed wrapping paper, including the dildo print. Or alternatively, a more PG-rated version, if that feels safer for your holiday celebrations.
The Shoestring Press will also help you print your own tote bags, including prints of some of our coolest, badass ladies at the moment, such as Maxine Waters and Ruth Bader Ginsburg — also a perfect gift to give your very own powerful and precious lady friends and family this year!
