About Hansen’s Craftory
Handmade with heart, from our family to yours.
We’re James and Chrissy Hansen, the husband-and-wife team behind Hansen’s Craftory. In August 2023, we took the leap and became full-time shop owners—turning our growing hobby into a family-run business we're deeply proud of.
Together, we homeschool our children, we have one recent homeschool graduate and two still learning at home we run the Craftory as a family. Our kids love to help with packaging and are learning the value of hard work, creativity, and quality craftsmanship right alongside us.
Hansen’s Craftory began when we started making products for our own family—looking for safer, cleaner alternatives to what was on store shelves. That first Christmas, we gifted a few of our homemade candles and soaps, and the response was overwhelming. From there, things took off—and the Craftory was born.
We’re committed to crafting premium, small-batch goods using only ingredients we feel good about:
Soy Wax Candles & Melts – Hand-poured using American-grown soy wax, 100% cotton wicks, and phthalate-free fragrance oils that require no Prop 65 warning.
Artisan Soaps – Cold and hot process soaps made in small batches with high-quality oils. Our all-natural line uses luxurious vegetable butters and is completely palm-free.
Smelly Balls – Our fun, effective air fresheners for cars, dorms, and more.
Hand-Dipped Incense – Rich, long-lasting scents to set the mood.
Custom Fishing Lures – Hand-poured and available in your choice of colors—just ask!
3D Printed Items – Thoughtfully designed and printed in-house, our growing line of practical and decorative creations adds a unique handmade touch.
Fully Customizable Options – Whether it's scent, color, or design—if we can make it your way, we will!
We believe in reducing waste and reusing materials whenever possible. We use paper packaging, compostable packing peanuts, and recycled shipping supplies. Plastic is kept to a minimum. We’ve even used paper bags since before it was trendy!
You’ll regularly find new handcrafted items in our shop and online, each one made with intention, creativity, and care. If it’s something we love and use in our own home—you just might see it in yours next.
