FreshCut Crafts

We’re a woman-owned, family-run paper craft manufacturer based in Maryland, and our company was born out of a desire to make a difference in kids’ crafting. Back in 2016, we were parents in search of screen-free entertainment for our kids, and we were done (I mean REALLY done) with imported plastic foam, felt, glitter, pom-poms, feathers, plastic google eyes, and that gross chemical smell that wafts up to your nose when you open just about any kids’ craft item. We were also tired of buying expensive cutting tools and materials that only adults could safely use. Our kids’ projects became our projects—and where’s the fun and learning in that? So, we designed a line of paper crafts made with the most beautiful, colorful, responsibly sourced, American-made card stock we could find. Then, we pre-cut all the materials so they would easily punch out of the sheet, which builds fine motor skills and empowers kids to work and create entirely on their own. The results were pretty magical. Once we had “perfected our craft” so-to-speak ☺ we decided that teachers deserved a break, too, and added pre-cut letters, classroom décor, and other time-saving teacher essentials to our fast-growing product line. We’re proud to say that we do it all in the U.S. in a near-zero-waste facility, with energy-efficient equipment and minimal, 100% recyclable packaging. Our environmental footprint is shockingly small—and we like it that way.
