Hi, I’m Ellie—the creator behind HandmadeByEllie! I live in a small, cozy town in Overijssel, Netherlands, where I pour my heart into creating thoughtful and unique handmade items. As a proud small business owner, dog and hamster mama, and aunt to two cute boys and two lovely girls, I balance my creative work with the joys of family life, supported by my amazing husband.

In my workshop, I personally design and sublimate every piece, from mugs and travel tumblers to ornaments and curated gift sets. Inspired by my love for floral and botanical designs, minimalist and aesthetic, I believe that the best gifts don’t need to be super expensive —they just need a thoughtful, personal touch.

When I’m not crafting, I enjoy decorating my home office with aesthetic pieces, playing cozy games (animal crossing, coral island, pokémon, palworld & more), watching animé (currently into Isekais & romcom) or a good series (modern family, friends), listening to good music (lo-fi, pop, rnb, kpop, j-pop & hiphop) and spending time with my small family.

Thank you for supporting my small business—your support means the world to me, and I’m so excited to share my passion with you!
