DIY: Moustache Mania

It only takes one word: Moustache. Bigger than zombies, cupcakes, fixies and Justin Bieber combined, the Moustache is so hip it never stops happening. The master of facial hair fads gets all the ladies, not to mention gets plastered across tshirts, coffee mugs, cupcakes, cards, light switch covers, bandages, pint

Indie Mart & Alamo Square Flea Market Join Forces This Saturday

How many times have we told you to get your ass down to Indie Mart? Like a million times. If you haven’t made it out to one yet, then you still don’t know what kind of unique or inexpensive finds you’re missing out on. It’s like a farmer’s market, except

If Etsy Were a Real Place: Renegade Craft Fair this weekend at Fort Mason

Since it’s 2010 and you seem like a reasonable person who likes to buy nicely made, unique things for a low price, you probably already know what Etsy is and have probably also spent far too much time at work looking for the cleverest Mother’s Day gift ever. Well, if

DIY: Damn Easy Decorating.

Just because you’re a proud broke-ass, doesn’t mean you have to live like a dirtbag – it’s super easy to decorate using cheap, simple materials. Plus, it’s seriously time to get rid of those posters. You can do better. Point in case: pinhole artwork. Check it: Pretty, right? Lovely –
