Alex’s Bread Basket

“After my dad passed away, I started baking sourdough. He loved bread. Every cheddar jalapeño loaf I bake reminds me of him. What started as grief became a little business. I’m still learning, still growing — but I carry him with me every step. This journey has been my healing.”

“I gave myself one year to start a business. Sales were low. I almost gave up. Then at my first market, someone said: “I know your art on Instagram — I love your work.” That changed everything. I realized it’s not about numbers. It’s about connection. My year is up — and I’m still going.”

Chynna Carby

“I lost my baby in 2024. Faith and creating things brought me through. I started making custom keepsakes for other bereaved families — memorial cards, weighted teddy bears, light-up signs. Every order is comfort for someone else. It heals me too. I use MUNBYN to make everything feel professional and thoughtful.”

Berry & Co.

“I can’t really draw. But last year I submitted something to a contest for a game I love — and I won. That gave me the courage to start a sticker business. I used my phone and an inkjet printer. I’ve now done conventions and started an online shop. I dream of a label printer that makes me look more professional.”

Cozy Yarn Barn

“I started Cozy Yarn Barn because I saw so many people wanting to craft but feeling overwhelmed. That was my moment. I sell soft yarn and beginner kits online and locally. My goal is to remove the fear and help anyone create something beautiful on their first try. Every sale reminds me why I began.”

UGC-SugarProof Bakery.jpg__PID:d071ae72-b3a8-4490-8895-e1d5cb7100f6

Sugar Proof Bakery

“I worked in healthcare, missing my family far away. That was my moment. I started a home microbakery. Every loaf carries my hard work, resilience, and hope. It hasn’t been easy — sleepless nights, doubt — but my community’s support and the joy I bring others keep me going. MUNBYN helps me grow.”

Shiny Side Up

“Tired of my marketing job, my mom's text asking 'Are you happy?' inspired me to quit and risk it all to become a full-time artist. Balancing financial struggles taught me passion outweighs stability. As my sales and mail club grow, I need an easier way to write package addresses. Having MUNBYN support my business would be a game-changer!”

UGC-BeFreshie.jpg__PID:f89ec9c0-d071-4e72-b3a8-44904895e1d5

BeFreshie

“Running BeFreshie, making handmade car freshies and crafts while juggling five kids is chaotic. My turning point was scaling orders fast and flawless. MUNBYN printers became my ride-or-die, printing scent labels, thank you stickers, and shipping labels ink-free. Their fast support and app keep me sane. If you aren’t using MUNBYN, you’re working too hard!”

Eden Unique Creations

“After 50, I finally dared to turn my 40 years of sewing into a business. I started a YouTube channel and got orders. But shipping was a nightmare — slow printer, scissors, tape. Every package felt like a battle. I discovered MUNBYN and dreamed of efficiency. My son joined me. I’m still learning, but every stitch is my brave step forward.”

7 Bridges Soap Company

“At the farmers market, I was the only one with handwritten labels. “I’m dyslexic and not tech savvy,” I thought. Then my husband surprised me with a Munbyn printer. Overnight, gorgeous labels. The next week, I had a line. Two years later, I started a website. Without Munbyn, I may have given up. That printer took me from “homemade” to “professionally designed” at the push of a button.”

UGC-A Six Word Story (ASWS)  Fiber Studio.jpg__PID:57b5527d-ec6d-473a-b018-c7b6d2ef40b4

ASWS Fiber Studio

“My fiber art studio started with no name, no website, no plan — just a season of longing. Walking through infertility, I picked up yarn, needles, and hooks. Stitch by stitch, I made space: for grief and hope to breathe, to process, to keep going. I don’t know where this goes, and that’s okay. For now, it’s enough that it exists.”

UGC-Looped in  by Jordyn.jpg__PID:7dec6d67-3a30-48c7-b6d2-ef40b418b1de

Looped in by Jordyn

“I’m a mom of 3, work full-time in procurement sustainability, and launched my crochet business in 2026. My YouTube hit 1.8K subs in two months. My first market? $1,200+ in sales plus custom orders. Now I sell on Etsy and got a local newspaper feature. I’m humbled and proud — and excited to grow this soul‑filling endeavor, even in an uncertain world.”

“For 37 years, candy was my love language — I gave it away. People asked why I didn’t sell. Then cottage food laws made it possible. Last fall, I started small: hard candy, chocolate, peanut brittle. Then my marshmallows took off. Now my Munbyn printer turns every label into a story. Every label turns homemade into a full experience. It’s never too late.”

UGC-Happy Daisy Studio.jpg__PID:527dec6d-673a-4018-87b6-d2ef40b418b1

Happy Daisy Studio

“I sell my artwork on Etsy and donate $1 from each sale to an environmental nonprofit. My first sale to a stranger was my big highlight. That moment told me: small business can have a big heart. Now I package every order with care — and a little hope for the planet.”

Juju Creations.jpg__PID:4352dee4-3568-4d6a-bfe2-131c53824296

Juju Creations

“Late at night while my baby slept, I crocheted plushies, baby clothes, and bags. Seeing people genuinely excited about something I made with my own hands was my first highlight. Every order, every happy customer reminds me why I started. Juju Creations is my heart, stitched into every piece I make.”

denz’ studio

“My 16-year-old childhood dog started showing health complications. I shifted my business to keep her memory alive. Now my keychains and puppy plushies let customers carry a piece of her without even realizing it. Luckily she is still here, but my business is now about honoring her. That’s my first highlight.”

Coco’s Cookies.jpg__PID:0be67343-52de-4435-a89d-6abfe2131c53

Coco's Cookies

“At 34, the day I was diagnosed with breast cancer, I also received my business license for sugar cookies. Baking helped me slow down and enjoy life a little more. I’ve been using my thermal printer for every order since. My diagnosis turned into a sweet new path — one cookie at a time.”

CrochetByLiv

“I’m 18, autistic, and crochet is my art. My parents struggled to accept this as a career, but I built $2,000 in inventory. I have a YouTube channel, an Instagram, and an Etsy shop ready to launch. All my life I felt something missing — now I feel complete. This is just the beginning.”

Unforgettable Crafts.jpg__PID:52dee435-689d-4abf-a213-1c5382429605

Unforgettable Crafts

“After 13 years as a paramedic, I saw how important mental wellbeing is. Now alongside my HR job, I create handmade, eco-friendly home and body care products — candles, soaps, lotions — to encourage people to slow down, breathe deeply, and make space for moments of peace. That’s my hustle.”

How Thoughtful Branding Helped Me Grow My Small Biz

By Lola

Hi! I'm Lola, the artist and owner behind owloArt, a small stationery brand creating cute stickers, keychains, enamel pins, and other cozy accessories featuring my original characters.Funny enough, owloArt wasn't something I originally planned.I started by sharing semi-realistic digital portraits on social media, and as my audience grew, people began asking if they could purchase my artwork. Around that time, a friend asked me to draw a cute chibi illustration of her Shiba Inu. After I posted it online, she encouraged me to sell that style too.To my surprise, people absolutely loved the cute illustrations. Soon after, someone requested a red panda drawing, and that little character became one of my first best sellers. That's when everything clicked. I realized creating cute, comforting artwork brought me the most joy, and it resonated with so many people as well.Looking back, that one small commission completely changed the direction of my business. It eventually grew into the world of original characters that owloArt is today.

From Crochet Hobby to Small Business

By Jordyn

Hey, I’m Jordyn! About a year ago, in mid-2025, I turned a new hobby into a small business called Looped in by Jordyn.It all started with a YouTube rabbit hole. I discovered crochet creators making beautiful hexagon cardigans and immediately decided I needed to make one, even though I’d never picked up a crochet hook before. I ordered the supplies, followed tutorials, and was completely hooked (pun intended).What surprised me was how much I loved not only the finished cardigan, but the process of making it as well. Spending hours creating something warm, cozy, and completely handmade was incredibly rewarding. After making one for myself, I started making cardigans as gifts for family and friends while sharing my progress on Instagram. As more people began asking if they could buy one, I realized this hobby had the potential to become something much bigger.

My Small Business Story: From Hobby to Full-Time Hustle

By the Founder of Naire Custom

I’m a work-from-home mom and small business owner, and the founder of Naire Custom, where I create custom products like personalized cups, birthday party favors, and other made-to-order items.  What started as a creative outlet eventually grew into something much bigger than I ever expected.I’ve been crafting for over 20 years, but it was only six years ago that I decided to turn my hobby into a full-time business. The moment that truly sparked this change came during the pandemic. Like many families, we needed an additional source of income. At the same time, I realized how passionate I was about creating, and that gave me the confidence to take my side hustle seriously and turn it into a real business.
