Our Story
Small crafts. Big smiles.
TinyJoys Studio started the way most good craft habits do — a shoebox of beads, a cheap iron, and a design that came out slightly lopsided. We kept making them. Today the studio is one long bench, a wall of labeled drawers, and a growing pile of pixel animals that have nowhere to live.
We sell two things: supplies for people who want to make their own pixel art, and finished charms for people who would rather skip straight to clipping it on a bag.
How a charm gets made
- Beads go onto a tall-peg board one at a time — somewhere between 300 and 500 of them per charm.
- Heat-resistant paper on top, then a hot iron fuses the beads into one solid sheet.
- The piece cools under a weight so it stays flat, then gets a key ring and a small bell.
That is the whole machine: no presses, no printing, no moulds. Every charm comes out a little different, and we think that is the point.
What we look for in supplies
Beads that fuse evenly instead of melting into a blob. Boards that stay flat after a hundred ironings. Tweezers that actually grip a 2.6 mm bead. If a tool does not survive our own bench, it does not go in the shop.
