IDLE HANDMADE
Personalized, Handmade Gifts
Always Handmade
Always One of a Kind
Idle Handmade is the professional manifestation of my personal passion: hand making gifts for my loved ones. There's no present more special than one that only exists in the physical realm because of that specific person (or persons).
From idea conception through to final product, Idle Handmade will help you to give the most meaningful, personalized gift possible. (And remove all gift giving stress in the process!)
I love making people feel special, feel loved. Idle Handmade strives to not only create a gift that sparks that emotional reaction but one that is as truly unique and as one of a kind as your loved one. The wide variety of mediums offered ensures no two gifts will ever be the same, especially when mediums are combined with one another.

DISCLAIMER
Please bear in mind that handmade art takes time, generally twice as long as you'd anticipate. Estimated lead times and costs are contingent upon the complexity of the project. Lead time can, on rare occasion, exceed four weeks. Please understand that handmade objects can only be rushed in very specific situations and depend heavily on the chosen medium.
