12/11/25 - Emo Nutcrackers

Create your nutcracker with the emotional baggage of your teen years.

Join us for a delightfully moody, creativity-fueled holiday workshop where nostalgia meets craft. In this hands-on session, you’ll transform a classic wooden nutcracker into a fully customized, angst-ridden masterpiece—complete with paint, embellishments, and all the expressive flair your teen self would be proud of. Whether you’re embracing the emo aesthetic or simply looking for a unique, joyfully offbeat way to celebrate the season, this workshop invites you to explore your inner artist while having fun, laughing, and making something truly personal.

No experience needed—just bring your imagination, your holiday spirit (dark or otherwise), and maybe we will rock out to the playlist that got you through high school.

📍 Boneyard Boutique, 817 Main St., Boonton, NJ 07005
