Once in a While

The home of handcrafts in the Swansea Valley

Bespoke handcrafted decorations, cards and gifts made from felt, fabric, birchwood and many more

Hi there, I’m Tash and the face behind Once In A While, which was established in May 2012, turning a hobby into a business and it has continued to grow into a home of cards, gifts, decorations and more recently a selection of craft kits and accessories.

All handcrafted items are made by myself. The mediums I use are card, mdf, birchwood, fabric and wool mix felt.

Most of the handcrafted items can be personalised on request, at time of ordering. I attend public events and various shows throughout the year. You’ll also find a range of Once In A While products in a shared retail space in Clydach called @The Coterie. Or pop by and have a look at my website www.onceinawhile.co.uk

For the creative ones amongst you, Once In A While is a proud stockist of Corinne Lapierre products; a very modern range of quality craft kits, which include everything to complete a project, of which all materials are ethically sourced and environmentally friendly. The felt bundles are a wool/viscose mix and are available in a range of distinctive shades.

The kits are designed and made in Britain with a lot of love and attention to detail, as you will see when you pop over to the online shop. Corinne is a familiar face on Create and Craft TV and has published three bestselling craft books.

My aim is to cover all angles; if you’re a creative, then the kits, books and felt are for you and if not, then I can make something for you!

Hope to see you somewhere soon, crafty love Tash.
