Can you tell us a little about yourself and your business?
Zahra and I are a dynamic duo whose passion for paper artistry and entrepreneurial spirit collided at a paint night. United by a shared love for the art of quilling, we set out on a mission to make this captivating craft accessible to all.
Zahra, a self-taught expert in quilling, kirigami, and modular origami, brings her artistic flair to the forefront. I, on the other hand, consider myself an e-commerce entrepreneur infusing our venture with a touch of business acumen.
We started My Creative Camp, with a vision to provide budding artists and curious crafters with the tools they need to unlock their creative potential. We are a craft company focusing on paper quilling, a growing and untapped niche within the crafts industry.
What inspired you to start your business?
We recognized a gap in the paper quilling industry, where many companies were packaging random items in plastic zippered bags with no instructions. In contrast, we take pride in our attention to detail, commitment to education, and dedication to providing a holistic crafting experience with handpicked curated materials and step-by-step video tutorials. Our mission is to empower individuals to discover their inner artist and achieve creative independence, and we believe our unique product offerings reflect this commitment.
”You recently participated in the Nutcracker Christmas event at the Berry Center. What inspired you to join this event, and how did it align with your business goals? Was the event a positive experience for your business? What aspects stood out for you, whether connecting with customers, showcasing your products, or something else?
This is our second year participating in the Nutcracker Market at the Berry Center, and it’s an event we truly look forward to. One of the main reasons we join is to educate customers about our offerings. It provides a wonderful opportunity to interact face-to-face with them, introduce our craft kits, and even host a hands-on table where they can learn the art of paper quilling. We also take the chance to share information about our YouTube channel, which features step-by-step craft tutorials.
Participating in events like this is always a positive experience for us. It allows us to connect with a diverse range of customers we might not reach otherwise—parents, teachers, children, and even grandparents looking for meaningful ways to bond with their grandchildren. It’s these connections and shared creative moments that make the experience so rewarding.

What’s your favorite part about participating in holiday markets like this? How does participating in events like this help you connect with your customers or community?
