Tinker & Makes was created to give independent makers a place to share the things they've created- beautiful, useful, thoughtful items that you won't find just anywhere. We seek out makers who put care into their work and love getting to know their stories, skills, and creativity behind what they make.

From handmade goods to craft kits that inspire you to make something yourself, everything in our shop is chosen with intention. We're especially drawn to makers from Minnesota, Wisconsin, & Iowa, because supporting small makers close to home means helping keep creativity, craftsmanship, and small businesses thriving in our communities.

For us, supporting makers goes beyond putting their products on a shelf. It means introducing their work to new customers, sharing their stories and creating a place where their creativity can be appreciated.

We're proud to be a small shop built around other small businesses-and we hope you will find a little something handmade, make something yourself, and keep supporting the people who create.

Thank you for supporting our small business and helping us support so many other small businesses and makers along the way.
