It all started with a Christmas present from his mum

A 17-year-old teenager is making nearly £15,000 a month with his personalised sticker business - thanks to a craft kit he got for Christmas from his mum. Caelan McDonald was given a £150 Cricut Joy - a digital drawing, cutting and printing machine - for Christmas two years ago by mum Karen Newsham, 49. He started printing transfers which he stuck on glassware and acrylic - and when he shared them on Facebook he started getting commissions for personalised items.

He's always been entrepreneurial. He's great at selling, and listening and responding to his customers, and knowing what's on trend. 'He's extremely hard working and he's certainly taught me a lot.' Caelan said he had a tough time at school and struggled with mental health but found arts and crafts therapeutic. He got his Cricut machine from Hobbycraft for Christmas in 2022.
