The Journey and Heart Behind Buddy Handmades
A peek into how every piece is crafted in my studio, inspired by my dog Buddy and the simple joy of handmade art.
This video is my whole heart. It shows how Buddy Handmades started in memory of my dog, how my family joined in, and how every order is a piece of this journey. When you support my small business, you are helping this dream grow.
This video is from the day my brand turned five. It felt right to be working on this string art piece, pouring all my feelings into it. This brand is my way of keeping Buddy's memory alive, and I'm so grateful for this journey.
It's wild, yaar. I haven't even been to Goa, but my handmade parcel is going all the way to Switzerland. This is the crazy, beautiful reality of running a small business, and I'm so grateful for every single order.
Someone asked what I earn as a small business owner. It's this. The happy messages, the heartfelt reviews, the photos of you with my products. This is what keeps me going.
Small biz girlies will relate. That feeling when you put your logo on a package is just the best. It's a reminder that I'm building this from scratch, one order at a time.
When you buy from my store, you don't just buy a gift. You buy a piece of my heart and help keep Buddy's memory alive. Thank you for choosing to support my small business.
I wish more people understood that the cost of handmade isn't just materials. It's the hours of work, the creative energy, and the love I pour into every single piece I create and pack.
When I first launched string art, I was worried people wouldn't like it. But after two months of patience, I got my first order for this custom nameplate. It was a reminder that good things take time.
Someone asked if I'm a scammer. Well, I put in all this effort to paint custom portraits and create crochet bouquets just to scam you. A little small business humor for you.
It's just a dream, they said. But this dream of spreading smiles through handmade gifts is worth all the hard work. Here I am, putting the finishing touches on a custom string art board for my own brand.
About The Heart of Buddy Handmades
When you order from me, you are not just getting a box. You are getting a piece of my story. Every package I tape up in my little Jabalpur studio includes vintage paper, dried flowers, and a bit of the chaotic love that started this whole dream in memory of my dog, Buddy.
How It All Started
Buddy Handmades began in 2020 as a quiet way to process my grief. My dog, Buddy, was my whole world, and this business became my way of keeping his memory alive. I never expected it to turn into a full-time gig, but here we are five years later, and I am still just trying to spread a little happiness through my hands.
The Handmade Reality
Main khud Jabalpur mein baithi hoon (I am sitting here in Jabalpur), but I am amazed that my work travels to places I have only dreamed of visiting. When you buy a custom piece—whether it is a string art board, an embroidered photo, or a crochet bouquet—you are supporting an actual person, not a factory. Every nail I hammer and every thread I stitch carries that 'dil se' energy. I want my work to feel like a warm hug, something that brings a smile to your face.
The Unboxing Experience
I believe the unboxing should feel just as special as the gift itself. I spend a lot of time on the little details, using vintage paper, wax seals, and pressed flowers to make sure the moment you open your package feels intentional. It is not just about the product; it is about the feeling of receiving something made specifically for you. Thank you for letting me share this journey with you, one order at a time.
Buddy Handmades
I am Resham, and this little studio is my heart. It all started as a way to process losing my dog Buddy, but now it is my daily reality. I hand-weave, paint, and pack every order here, turning your memories into something you can actually hold.
