Welcome to Craftishly, a small family-run business based in Bedfordshire, built on creativity, enthusiasm, and a collection of craft supplies that may have grown slightly out of control.
Craftishly was founded by Jo and Tom in 2022 after years of crafting, attending local craft fairs, and running workshops. What began as a shared passion quickly became a business dedicated to helping others discover just how enjoyable crafting can be.
The name Craftishly came about because we simply couldn't settle on one particular craft. Jo enjoys everything from sewing and bookbinding to papercrafts and cartonnage, so "craft-ish" seemed to fit perfectly. Add a little extra flair and Craftishly was born.
Today, we offer a carefully chosen range of crafting supplies, fabrics, adhesives, papercrafts, and our own handmade kits. We're especially proud of our growing collection of Cartonnage Kits and Sock Friends, designed to help crafters create something they're truly proud of.
Craftishly is very much a passion project for us. Alongside running the business, we both have full-time jobs, which means many evenings and weekends are spent designing new kits, packing orders, attending events, and occasionally wondering whether buying "just one more craft supply" was really necessary.
Unlike some larger retailers, we only stock products we genuinely enjoy using ourselves. If it's on our shelves, there's a good chance it's already been tested, used, and approved somewhere amongst the creative chaos of our workshop.
As a business run by just the two of us, customer service is incredibly important to us. Whether you're completely new to crafting or have been creating for years, we're always happy to help. No question is too small, and no crafting challenge is too unusual.
You'll often find us at craft shows, workshops, and community events, sharing ideas, demonstrating products, and searching for the pair of scissors that was definitely on the table five minutes ago.
Thank you for supporting our small business. Every order, recommendation, and kind word helps us continue doing something we genuinely love.
"May your glue stay where it's supposed to, and your craft stash always have room for one more!"
Jo & Tom
