Happy New Year!

A big thank you to everyone who has supported Craft Tonic this year and me. The magazine will be back in the New Year after a much needed rest.

Happy New Year x See you all soon xx

Announcement Regarding Craft Tonic

It is with a heavy heart that I am sad to announce that I am unable to bring the Christmas issue of Craft Tonic to release. Sadly my marriage has ended (very badly) and I am currently not in a position to continue with Craft Tonic at this present time.

To everyone who has offered support to myself and the magazine I would like to say a very big thank you and to those I have let down - it was never my intention and please accept my sincerest apologies.

Craft Tonic will be taking a break for now.

The Handmade Christmas Decoration Exchange

Would you like to join in with a little bit of Christmas Cheer? To celebrate Craft Tonic's first Christmas I'm organizing a Handmade Decoration Exchange with our readers.

To take part you need to email me at:

xmasatcrafttonic (a) gmail.com

Subject Title: Dec Exchange

The deadline for sign up is 28th October. Names will then be paired up and you will receive an email with your partners name on the 31st October. Please send your decorations no later than the 14th November. 


Next get wildly creative and make something wonderful for your new friend.

Here is the Craft Tonic bit :) Email me pictures of your decorations and I will showcase the best ones with a little bit of a write up about you in the Christmas issue of the magazine YAY! I will also set up a flickr group for everyone else :)

Let the Holidays Begin!

Feisty, naughty, sleepy, hungry, sleepy again, totally bonkers!

It's starting to look a lot like Christmas.............

There is no denying it, Christmas is truly on its way and this season Craft Tonic plans to release a Christmas "Look Book" alongside the regular magazine. It will be glossy, designed and will give sellers the opportunity to advertise their work both on our blog and on the website - meaning casual passers by will also get a look in. In the next few months we are planning a massive publicity drive so here is your chance to have a piece of the action. For the bargain price of £2.50 less than a bottle of wine, or the price of a a takeaway coffee, you can take advantage of the Craft Tonic touch. Submit 30 words about your shop and a product shot along with your shop link and we will do the rest. Photos need to be high quality jpegs. Our last issue received over 60,000 unique hits. Come and join the Craft Tonic Christmas Party for only £2.50 what have you got to lose!!

Items do not have to be Christmas related this is a gift/shopping guide.

Please apply via email to advertising (a) thecrafttonic.com - spaces are limited.
