Building a papercraft brand, with workshops.

Aim

Start my craft business, and papercrafting workshops, as I know first hand how much crafting helps our mental health.

I got into papercrafting after having my daughter 18 years ago. I used it as a mindful hobby to help with the severe post natal depression. It was a godsend. I was then fortunate enough to turn my hobby into some work about 7 years ago when I was accepted onto some design teams for some papercrafting companies. Then I was offered my dream job as a craft demonstrator on the craft shopping channels. This is where I discovered my love of teaching and sharing my crafty knowledge with others. 

I was sadly made redundant 2 years ago and crafting again became so very important for my mental health. My husband and I then started a small business online selling craft papers we designed ourselves but it came to a point where we didnt have the funds to carry on, so closed our doors. This year we decided to have a small online shop selling those designs as digital downloads instead.

Its slow going but my vision is to expand our shop. I want to add physical paper pads and stamps that we are designing. I also want to add craft kits and I have an idea for diamond art kits, stencils and on and on. I have so many ideas to expand the craft items we will offer. 

Then I also want to add online tutorials and in person workshops. I want to be able to teach and help others with crafting, the way it has helped me. This is something that is so important to me and I want to spread the joy and mindfullness to others.
