Calling All Crafty Bastards: Arts and Crafts Fair

Crafty Bastards My Paper Crane
SATURDAY: This year's Crafty Bastards Arts & Crafts Fair presented by the Washington City Paper promises to be an impressive celebration of handmade crafts, with food, entertainment and prizes thrown into the mix.

All vendors are handpicked by a jury to keep mass-produced or imported goods far away from items like plush cupcakes, wooly baby slippers and books made out of LEGO pieces. Many vendors will be selling environmentally responsible crafts such as necklaces made out of old zippers and fawn rings made out of recycled metals.

More than 300 vendors didn't make the cut for a booth, which should make gawking at the ones that did quite an outing. All you have to do is try to stop yourself from spending too much money.

» Marie Reed Recreation Center, 2200 Champlain St. NW; Sat., Oct. 3, 10 a.m.-5 p.m., free; 202-332-2100. (Woodley Park)
