Handmade Felt Hair Accessories and Hair by PunkyPunkinCreations

Note from shop owner Update as of June 2017: Punky Punkin Creations remains closed for the time being since the new addition to our family in late Summer '16. As of now I have no immediate plans to reopen. We are currently settling in to a new home and I have taken on many projects including some renovations, tons of painting and decorating. In the meantime, I am also enjoying spending as much time as possible with the little ones during the summer break from school. Our new home has a wonderful space that will accommodate my studio and a playroom to be together, so my hope will be to reopen when we are settled in and I have a designated area for the kids to play and craft along with me. For every one that has continued to follow my shop, I wish you all the best and thank you for your interest and support. Please click on the button to be notified when I reopen. Best, Mandy

Handcrafted Accessories with Personality

I am the wife of a Law Enforcement Officer and work-at-home mom of two girls (one grown and a preschooler) and a baby boy due Summer 2016. My business started with the youngest who was born with a headful of beautiful, curly strawberry-blonde hair. At six months old, her hair was approaching her shoulders and I discovered a love for making hair accessories for her to keep her bangs away from her face. My girls are the inspiration for the business and its name. My older daughter grew up with the nickname "Punky" and the littlest is the "Punkin".

I am inspired by things around me: animals, nature, and I am a bit of a foodie; growing up I really wanted to become a pastry chef. I love simplicity, but I like things with character and personality. I love things that are vintage, especially farmhouse style (old quilts, sewing tools, baking and kitchen tools). I believe they tell a story.

I must have gotten that from my grandma. She taught me to love tea, especially when it is poured from a beautiful pot into a matching teacup. Her home was full of simple, farmhouse antiques and has a collection of teapots and teacups that inspired me to begin my own collection that I hope to pass along to my girls. My grandma taught me to sew on an old, heavy Singer sewing machine from the 50s.

I come from a long line of crafty, talented ladies. My mom inspired me to work with my hands, and that just because we're "girls" there's nothing wrong with a little dirt. My family owned a commercial construction business and growing up that is where I spent my summers; on a job site, getting dirty. It made me more curious of how things work. I can install light fixtures and lay new flooring; I've never been afraid of a little demo and remodeling. When I was little I mostly would break things so I could put them back together, which got me in some trouble from time to time.

These days, I use that curiosity to learn how to create things. I am not one for following patterns or instructions because I really enjoy the process of "figuring it out". I am blessed to pass along that curiosity and passion for creativity to my kids. My oldest is an incredibly talented artist, and the little one loves to make clothes for her dolls.

All of the felt embroidered items you will find in my shop are created by me, and I am currently teaching myself to work with new materials such as vinyl for clothing and custom housewares. I am proud to be a crafter, and I hope you enjoy my shop as much as I enjoy creating the items in it!
