The Story
How MakeHaus began
MakeHaus started the way most good things do — with a late night, a YouTube rabbit hole, and a complete disregard for how messy crafting can get. What began as weekend experiments on the kitchen table became something bigger: a business, a studio, and hopefully a community of makers.
The resin work came first — coasters, trays, jewellery — all made with eco-friendly materials because it felt wrong to make beautiful things in ways that weren't. The workshops followed naturally. Turns out, people don't just want to own handmade things. They want to make them too.
The candles are the newest chapter. Specifically dessert candles — because why shouldn't a candle look like a slice of melktert or a freshly piped cupcake? It combines everything MakeHaus loves: colour, texture, craft, and a little bit of South African soul.
