Customer Service Policy.
Sell Your Handmade Goods For Free.
We hope to share as many crafting ideas as possible with you and hope you too will share with us. We also intend to host a crafting forum as well as be a place where you can sell your handmade products. We are happy to list handmade items made by our customers using our products in our shop FOC! All we ask is that you tell your friends about us and advertise, while we advertise you in return. E Mail us your item and a price and we will do the rest, when your item is sold we will make a pay pal transfer for the full amount!
Commission Work.
We are happy to consider commission work on any scale from individual, one of a kind pieces of jewellery to 50 identical pairs of earings or wine glass charms. Eg, 200 wine glass charms with the initials of the bride and groom (25 custom made charms cost £10.00). We also offer a huge range in handmade cards and invitations, again from 1 to 1,000, though you would have to give us plenty of notice for 1,000.
