Welcome to Crafty Gifts by Karen Co!

Hi, I’m Karen and I’m from the midlands.

My little business began in 2024 with an advert, one of those random adverts you get on social media and normally scroll past. I saw the creation of a beautiful resin dish and just had to try it for myself.

Why did I give it a go? 4 years earlier I had been ill…very ill. I was diagnosed with multiple blood clots in my lungs and overlapping autoimmune conditions.

After a long recovery and a new normal, I wanted to try something creative and fun and see just what I could create.

I had always struggled with self confidence when I was younger, and now in my 40’s I had realised that life is too short not to do the things you enjoy. So here I am with purple hair and what has become an entire spare room/office/workbench of glitter, resin, mica, beads, and everything in between.

I now create all sorts from homeware such as trays, vases and tealight holders, to jewellery, keyrings and phone charms.

I can also create personalised items in your chosen colours or include specific items - please send me an email with any questions.
