The Making of The Crafty Bee

Hello, I'm Becky

Welcome to The Crafty Bee — a small, independent gift studio in Manchester where every item is handmade and personalised just for you.

I started The Crafty Bee whilst juggling life as a part-time teacher and mum to young children. It all began when I used my Cricut machine to make items for my own wedding — and I completely fell in love with designing and crafting gifts and home decor. What started as a passion project soon grew into something I couldn't stop!

Every order is personalised by hand in my studio, with care and attention to the details that make your gift truly special.

Personalised Orders

Every item is made to order just for you. Most orders dispatch within 3–5 working days (a little longer during busy periods like Christmas). Every piece is quality-checked before it's sent.

If you have any questions, I'd love to hear from you — I personally read every message. 🐝
