Can you share a bit about your business and what you do?

Hi everyone! My name is kraftedbykla or Kayla. My business is handcrafted resin art pieces such as trays, coasters, ashtrays, keychains, and many other items that YOU want me to create. 

My art aesthetic is gold flakes and loads of flowers! I am open to your own unique item that you want me to create! I love learning from every custom and failure I make. 💛 

When and why did you decide to start your new business?

I started my business in August 2020 doing part-time while I was still in college. I graduated the following month and started to create full-time. I started my business because I wanted to make extra income and go back to school again while being in the comfort of my own home. Plus, I’m scared to leave the house, haha (hence COVID).  

What do you love most about running your own business?

What I love about my business is my work isn’t that far. It’s only a few feet away, and I’m not having to deal with traffic! Haha. But I also love getting to know everyone’s creative side on how they want their own customs! 

What are your overall goals for your business?

My overall goal is to collab with many artists/small businesses. It doesn’t just have to be resin. I love supporting other small businesses and seeing everyone’s creative side! 

For funsies, what’s your favorite product you’ve created so far? 

My favorite product I made recently was this bug pendant. It had a bush cricket along with flowers inside. My supporter wanted her cricket lying on top of the flowers. It was absolutely stunning. I’ve never done an insect before. It was my first time, and I felt so accomplished! I’m highly afraid of insects, but this came over my fear!
