A warm hello and welcome to my blog!
I’m so glad you landed on my site and I hope you find something here to inspire you on your crafting journey.
Here is what Craft with Mei is about:
Growing Creativity at Every Age
Craft with Mei exists to inspire families, educators, and makers to keep creativity alive from toddlerhood to adulthood.
Here you’ll find real life craft ideas that are joyful, achievable, and full of heart. Whether you’re introducing your little one to their first glue stick or rediscovering your own creative spark, these projects are here for you.
Everyday Creativity
Creativity is something we use every single day, often without realising it. It helps us solve problems, to think differently and makes life a little brighter.
From personalising a handmade gift to decorating your home, creative thinking builds confidence, helps us relax and is just pure fun.
Crafting with your children is more than making something pretty too; it’s about learning, skill building, laughing and seeing the world through fresh eyes.
My Crafting Philosophy
Crafting equals happiness! It’s play for the mind and calm for the soul. It’s joy from the simplest act of making.
And… there’s a certain magic in creating something with your own hands.
Through these tutorials, I hope to lift your spirits and bring you joy one handmade piece at a time.
Tried, Tested & Loved Projects
Before posting each project, I spend time experimenting with techniques, adjusting materials and simplifying steps until the process is complete. Every tutorial on Craft with Mei has been fully tested and refined, saving you guesswork and time so you can jump straight into it.
Features
Tutorials from Craft with Mei have been featured in Families Magazine, Education Corner, and Eat Sleep Doodle. I’m so happy these projects are reaching new audiences and sprinkling a little creativity in the world.
Behind the Blog
This is me, Mei, displaying my final year Fashion & Textiles portfolio.
I live in the rural village of Kingsclere, England with my partner, our two young boys (my best craft testers lucky them!) and our very fluffy tabby cat.
Creativity has always been at the centre of my life since early childhood. My earliest memories was that I always enjoyed making things and drawing.
I studied Fashion and Textiles (BA Hons) at university, where I learned sewing, pattern cutting and design. Later, I trained in silversmithing and now run a small Etsy shop, Tales of Silver, alongside creating tutorials for this blog.
Outside of the studio, I love sharing creativity with my community, organising craft activities for children and families at local events.
All in all, I just love making things and sharing creative ideas with others.
Here are some of my favourite pieces of craft art:
