Crafts by Funky Cat Design - jewellery, needle-felted gifts

Welcome to Funky Cat Design, where individuality, new and reclaimed materials come together in handcrafted jewellery and gifts.
I am super chuffed and grateful to see you here. I hope you will enjoy visiting my online shop as well: https://folksy.com/shops/funkycatdesign.

I make all the items listed in the shop myself, with the occasional help from my “pawsome” family member (hence the business name).

Family cat helping with crafts

I have been making things for family and friends, and selling occasionally on request, ever since I can remember.

Now, after working for 30 years in the corporate world, I have decided to listen to my heart (and my wonderful support circle) and start my own craft business.

I design and make jewellery and small gifts using new and reclaimed materials (like old jeans/denim, or yarn from charity shops).
Every piece is lovingly made by hand and produced in small batches, embracing artisan techniques like crocheting, needle felting, sewing, decoupage, appliqué and more.

For jewellery, I often hand-dye and varnish the wooden beads myself using non-toxic and natural dyes and varnish, Renaissance wax polish or beeswax.
