What Tess Makes

What Tess Makes Artisan boutique of joyful vibrant stationery, homewares and bespoke gifts you'll love I love making gifts, wrapping them and giving them away.

I am of Filipino heritage and now lives in Melbourne, Australia for over a decade. I am a mum of 2 young adults, a paper crafter, home baker, writer and a lover of design. I collect colorful pens and stationery. Family and creativity are the constants in my life. Creating should be intentional and must come from the heart, same with gifting.

WINTER NEWNESS 🌧

You can now gift matching aprons and tea towels with our pre-made packs all for your convenience.

I took the liberty of choosing some of our current aprons and complementing them with tea towels. This is my first drop. Will make new curated gift sets before the silly season begins.

Get ready, crafters! Enjoy!

Taking care of business again. Trying hard to finish projects and refresh stock in the shop. Will be back at tomorrow.

Don't be shy and drop by to browse, get inspired or grab a gift for yourself. No one's judging you when you choose to pamper yourself with unique, artisanal goodness. Love that you support local and Aussie-made.

See you this Wednesday! 🧏‍♀️
