I didn't start crocheting to build a business.

I started because my daughter was four years old and I needed something to do with my hands.

That was 2005. Twenty years later...those stitches grew into Tiny Tangle Studio.

Hi, I'm Melissa.

I'm the maker behind Tiny Tangle Studio—a place where yarn, filament, wood, and a little bit of imagination come together to create tiny things with big personalities.

What started as a quiet hobby in 2005 has slowly grown into something I never expected. Crochet led to 3D printing. Curiosity led to laser engraving. One creative project became another until I realized I wasn't just making things—I was building a world full of characters, keepsakes, and gifts that make people smile.

Some of my creations are looking for forever homes. Others become custom pieces for families, collectors, or small businesses. Whether it's a sleepy bunny named Finn, a curious little dragon named Taffy, or a custom corporate gift designed for a local company, every piece begins the same way—with an idea and a whole lot of heart.

Tiny Tangle Studio isn't a factory, and it never will be.

I don't believe the best gifts come from assembly lines. I believe they come from knowing someone's favorite color, giving a tiny creature a personality before it's even finished, or creating something so personal that the recipient can't help but smile.

When I'm not creating, you'll usually find me chasing another idea, learning a new craft, or convincing myself that I definitely have room for "just one more" printer, skein of yarn, or ridiculous little creature.

Thank you for stopping by and supporting this little dream.

I'm so glad you're here.

Let's make the world a little more whimsical—one tiny tangle at a time.
