Welcome to Red Ted Art
Hi, I am Maggy! This is my little sidekick Ted. Welcome to the Red Ted Art® community! I am passionate about making arts and crafts easy and “approachable” for all. Crafting can be a little daunting – Where to start? What supplies to get? And oh my, the mess…! Well, let me help you with that! Easy projects that are fun, satsifying and teaches your kids new creative skills. CRAFTS MADE EASY.
Why Red Ted Art
- Easy
- Do-able, with great results for all
- Simple materials (mostly!)
- Help build skills & confidence
The crafts often focus on seasons and holidays, but there are many ideas for all year around!
My Books
This ethos of simplicity, fun, and do-ability is reflected in my two print copy books.
The first book, is very much a book that reminds me of “my childhood crafting”. A little bit of everything! This book is a great book for younger kids to revisit time and time again and “grow into”.
The second book, is aimed at 8yrs+ who only have access to paper, card and stationery. It is built on everything I learned about the tween and teen audience from my successful YouTube channel.
About Me
A little bit about me! I have been passionate about crafting ever since I was a child. With early childhood memories of making conker snakes in Autumn and Egg Carton Chicks in Spring. Later, I had a wonderful “adoptive granny”, Celia, who taught me how to sew and how to knit and how to make butterfly fairy cakes.
When my kids were born in early 2010s (I have two – a boy and a girl), I wanted to replicate the joy I had as a child crafting. And also help others on their creative journey.
I quickly realised that LOTS of us need an “adoptive granny” like Celia, but that there aren’t many Celias to go round. Instead, I hope very much that Red Ted Art takes her place:
- Bringing you easy ideas
- Help build your children’s craft confidence
- Teaching the craft basic
- Giving you inexpensive ideas (crafting should not cost the earth)
… all whilst having FUN! And making fun things to enjoy all the seasons! Your kids will learn with me, will make gifts for family with me and explore art projects.
Accessible. Do-able. Inexpensive.
But with gorgeous results!
