Custom orders

If you can describe it, I can probably make it.

Shirts, tumblers, glassware, signs, favours, woodburning, embroidery, stickers, candles with your names on them. A lot of it doesn’t have a category.

People often decide something isn’t possible before they ask. Ask anyway — worst case I say no, and fairly often I’ll suggest something that works better than what you had in mind.

Some of what I’ve made

A real list, not a menu.

  • A toy box, woodburned with a kid’s name and about twenty storybook animals
  • Wedding favour candles, each with a scent named after the person it was for
  • A whole Shrek-themed bachelorette: shirts, a sash, green gummy ogres in the drinks
  • Tumblers, one per person, each with a nickname nobody outside the group would get
  • A seating chart made out of cut paper leaves
  • Candles poured into cut wine and beer bottles
  • An ice cream cone that turned out to be a candle
  • Tote bags that say “Til Death Do Us Party”
  • Stickers of somebody’s dog
  • A t-shirt about one specific Dunkin’

How it goes

Four steps.

  1. Tell me what it’s for, when you need it, and the rough idea
  2. I come back with yes, no, or a suggestion
  3. You get a price and a date
  4. I make it, and you either pick it up or I drop it off
The actual method, written down once so I stop forgetting it.

What are you after?

A rough description is plenty. If you’ve got a photo or a Pinterest board or a note on your phone that just says “like this but green”, send that.
