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.

LAST DAY OF WINTER 🧣

I am working at Brunswick today. Maybe my last day in the shop, before I head off to my motherland. I've been looking forward to this all year. Finally!

If this space has gone quiet for a long while, it means I am cruising Asian streets and eating sumptuously. 🥭🥩🍮

Meanwhile, feel free to get your WTM fix only at Artocracy because shipping orders will be paused and will resume upon my return.

See you 10kgs after. Keep on crafting!

Hello crafties, I am back!

Sorry for being silent in here. I have been working hard on and off duties (so grateful for two jobs 🙌).

Just letting you know that WTM is still making products for the shop, and accepts custom orders. All is well.

Please take time to pop in our maker collective space, Artocracy , in Brunswick. We got lots of new makers join us. I'll be there again this Sunday. Let's have fun this weekend. See you!

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!
