What makes a handmade Crafts handle work

I’d say the handle should hint at what you make or how you make it. A ceramicist probably wants ‘pottery’ or ‘clay’ in there somewhere; a knitter might lean on ‘yarn’ or ‘wool’. It helps people know what they are following before they even tap.

• Keep it short enough to fit on a business card without shrinking the font
• Avoid numbers tacked on the end — they look like a backup plan
• If you sell at markets, pick something you can say clearly over a noisy crowd

Before you commit to a name

Check whether the handle is free on Instagram, then look at the other places you might need it — Etsy, Pinterest, a future domain. Say it out loud a few times too, because you will be spelling it for people at craft fairs.

• Search the handle on Instagram and see what comes up
• Try the same spelling on Etsy and as a dot-com
• Ask a friend to spell it back after you say it once
