About Us
It All Started with a Spark of Creativity
Hi, I'm Nelie – the heart, hands, and slightly glitter-covered apron behind Crafting Nook.
What began as a relaxing hobby at my kitchen table slowly grew into something much bigger — a place where creativity, connection, and passion meet. Inspired by colour, nature, and the little stories behind every gift and handmade piece, I pour love and care into everything I create.
Creating Joy, One Handmade Piece at a Time
At Crafting Nook, you'll find everything from playful hair accessories and cozy apparel to charming stationery and custom-made gifts.
Every item is a small celebration of creativity — handmade with joy (and yes, sometimes a bit of trial and error!), because that's all part of the magic. If it brings a smile to your face or makes your day a little brighter, then my job is done.
What We Believe
Creativity is Connection
Handmade items carry energy, intention, and meaning. Each one tells a story, linking the maker and the receiver in a way mass-produced products simply can't.
Sustainability Matters
We care deeply about the planet. That's why we use local materials when possible and package your orders with love — and eco-consciousness.
You Deserve Unique
No factory lines here. Every piece is original, made with personality and heart. Because you deserve something as special and one-of-a-kind as you are.
Making Every Moment Special
Gifting Made Special
Whether it's a thank-you for a teacher, a birthday surprise, or a little treat for yourself — our handmade creations are made to make moments meaningful.
Custom-Made with Love
Got a unique idea? I'd love to hear it! Custom orders are one of my favourite parts of this journey — turning your ideas into something beautiful and personal.
Where We Create
Crafting Nook is nestled in the Western Cape, South Africa, surrounded by mountains, sea breezes, and endless inspiration.
My cozy studio is filled with colour, laughter, and a slightly embarrassing number of craft supplies — it's where the magic happens, one handmade piece at a time.
Let's Stay Connected
Follow along behind the scenes on social media — see what I'm working on, get sneak peeks of new items, and join a growing community of creative souls. I'd love to have you along for the journey — because the best part of this adventure is sharing it with you.
