As we are doing the right thing and spending our time at home and maybe even more time on technology, why not go back to the old-school days and start a little lovable Post Exchange between friends? Or create some of your own extra letters to pop in our iconic post box?

Mum's & Carers love knowing that they are cherished and appreciated. As we spend a different kind of Mothers Day at home this year it's nice to reflect a little bit and take a slow pace to life.

Stay home, stay safe, and enjoy some rest with our newest quarantine craft projects. With school holidays approaching, we hope all the Mums, Dads and kids alike are headed for some well-earned rest! Bring the fun back asap with a cheery craft activity that the whole family will love - we've got two brand new ones up on the blog for you to try. 

We know that we sell wooden toys but not many people know why we have such a passion for designing and making them... 

Wooden toys in our view are simply the best and the only toys that have lasted the distance in our toy cupboard. Over the years, it has been the plastic stuff that ended up in the Charity drop off while the wood toys got passed down from child to child. We even keep the wooden toys in the attic for our children to pass down to their children one day.

Find your craft courage and make some of these guilt free felt hot cross buns. We are here to help during this unsettling time and coming up with ideas on how to distract yourself whilst at home with family and loved ones.

Why not practice the use of no plastic bags in your play too!

We created these fun, summer-themed free printouts that you can use for your crafting projects all year round! 

We draw inspiration from the beloved quickness of our cities, and from the unsung icons of Aussie Life. One thing is for certain: at Make Me Iconic, we love this beautiful country that we get to call ‘home'. As time goes on, and as we face challenges together — such as the devastation of the current bushfire crisis  — we find ourselves appreciating our country’s natural beauty and rich cultural history even more. 

Get creative with some fun extras for our Healthy Tummy Brekky Tray - we created a free craft activity to keep the kids occupied during school holidays!

Those iconic little bags of sherbet were a stable at every Milk Bar or Birthday Party. It's true, you probably should not have Wizz Fizz every day, but on special celebrations, no party is complete without that little spoonful of sugar. FADS Fun Sticks are a blast from our past and a Milk Bar staple. Back in the day they were number 1 on our list of candy to buy with our $1 budget.
