Crafts
Need something to do? Well pop on over to the craft room! We have zine making, kandi making, happy mail, and balloon animal making! Check the event page for a schedule of events and an updated list of things to do!
What are Zines?
Zine are mini magazines (hintz the name "zines") They're often just little books made by hand and hold photos, art, or poetry! You can check out Orlando Zine Meetup to see some examples of easy to make zines! At gob, They'll have some simple books folded and can teach you to fold your own! Doodle, write, and share! Each is one of a kind (unless you make copies at home) and are great memory makers and art pieces to trade at Gob or keep forever!
What's Kandi?
You might know it as pony beads, friendship bracelets, or PLUR, but this concert & rave trend has always been one thing- super fun! Grab some string and use some beads to make bracelets with your friends, a necklace that says "little treat guy" or theme the colors to your favorite character! Advanced artists make cuffs, with rows of beads woven together! At Gob, we provide you the basics and let you make whatever you want to keep as a memory or trade with other Gobs! PLUR means "peace, love, unity, respect" and is used to trade kandi between folks!
What's happy mail?
This video by Magpie Oddities puts it well! It's just little mail that should make someone happy when opening it! And thanks to Goblin Market's very own mailgob, STAMP, we're able to collect your happy mail this market and deliver it to future Gobs at future markets! Send a postcard, fold a letter, write a cute note, draw a funny photo, include mini prints or stickers, tie it together with string, go happy to your hearts content! Then give it to Stamp! He'll be back next time with a boat load of letters that you can come and pick from as a nice memory of your time with Gob! Then, send out a new one! It's always fun to get mail!
