Craft Boner

Have you ever spent 20 minutes in the grocery store trying to figure out which card to get someone for their birthday or Mother’s Day or graduation or some event before realizing that there wasn’t a card that really, truly said what you were thinking? 

So did the artist, Kiwi, Schloffel, way back in 2012. She is the brains and the brawn behind Craft Boner. When faced with this dilemma back in 2012 she got frustrated and made her own card to send to her best friend for her birthday because she really just needed to tell her that she was a badass bitch and she couldn’t find any other card that would do the trick. 

Since then the brand has evolved a lot and now there’s an absolute ton of new fun products but the bottom line is the same: She wants to make you laugh. Not in the ha-ha-I’m-being-polite kind of way but actual big belly laughs that make your eyes water and give you an annoying stomach cramp because you just can’t stop. 

Kiwi started a blog that she wanted to be like the ‘80s hair band of craft sites. She vaguely remembers browsing a thrift store and exclaiming “I have a total boner for that floral armchair!” and my friend Austin shouted, “Craft Boner! That’s it!”, and the name of the blog was born. Blogging wasn’t really her thing, and it evolved into an Etsy shop and then into what it is now - a brand of hand-lettered curse words and designs aimed at making you chuckle.
