Hiu’s Art Studio
Handmade by Hiu, with love

Paper bracelets,
made by hand.

Hiu is nine. Every bracelet and hair band is folded, threaded and finished at our kitchen table, so no two come out quite the same.

What she makes

Small things, made slowly. Everything is cut and folded from paper, then finished with a coat of sealant so it holds its shape.

The studio

It is a kitchen table, mostly.

Hiu started folding paper into bracelets because she ran out of things to do one afternoon, and then she didn’t stop.

Everything here is made by her, one piece at a time. The edges are not always perfectly even and the beads are not always exactly the same size, which is the point. If you want identical, a machine can do that. This is the other thing.

Each order is wrapped in tissue, tied, and stamped by hand before it goes out.

Looking after it

Paper is tougher than people expect, but it has limits.

  • Keep it dry. It is sealed, but it is still paper.
  • Store flat, not squashed at the bottom of a bag.
  • Take bracelets off before swimming or washing up.
  • If a bead loosens, send us a photo and we’ll repair it.

These pieces contain small beads and are not suitable for children under three. Please supervise younger children wearing them.
