Meet the creator behind handmade presents by Michelle

Hello everyone and welcome to handmade presents by Michelle, I’m Michelle and it’s very nice to meet you.

So little about the creator, about me…

I’m 38 years old woman and mum of boys both are teenagers I’m engaged to be married, am from south wales United Kingdom.

So a little bout how it all started 

My crafting started as a hobby, as a way of dealing with my own mental health and anxiety, am not afraid to say i hit rock bottom, but it’s how you climb back to the top that matters.

As I said it started as a hobby, making cards but I wasn’t very creative at that point It was just something to keep my half a brain cell busy , not over thinking about things out of my control… so I moved on to using vinyl as I had a circuit cutting machine bought for me by my fiancé, I watched many crafting videos on youtube to learn about new crafts I can make… I would go to local craft fairs to see if they were good enough to make any money, I was shocked items were selling things that I made were good enough for someone to buy, that was it  I know a way forward…

As I said I watched so many YouTube tutorials and videos and I wanted to learn over ways of crafting, this is where I found the love for sublimation gifts they came out so bright and beautiful that I fell in love with my creations. So it’s now where I am… making beautiful gifts for everyone to see.

I still have anxiety and depression and have fibromyalgia but I’m still here learning creating and sharing my creations.
