Our Story
Handmade, recycled, and created with care in Dorset.
After our children had flown the nest — and we had decorated just about everything in sight — MTNestCrafts was born.
Through our shared love of recycling and creativity, we came up with an idea to light up our campercar. What started as a fun project soon became something friends and family couldn’t stop asking for.
Our unique, vintage-style lampshade fairy lights and bottle lights quickly grew in popularity, and before we knew it, MTNestCrafts became a small eco-focused business.

We try to use as many recycled materials as possible and work closely with local businesses who save items for us that would otherwise end up in landfill.
From bottles and festival cups to paper, fabric and wood — every piece tells a story and helps reduce waste. #waronwaste

Every item we make is created slowly, thoughtfully and with sustainability at heart. Thank you for supporting handmade and helping us save things from landfill.
