Handmade artisanal jewelry inspired by the East. www.folditcreations.com FoldIT Creations is a small one-man operation based out of Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

While working as an English Teacher in Seoul, South Korea, I was constantly given small paper gifts by my grade 5 & 6 students for various occasions. Flowers, cranes, hearts; I was amazed by how small and intricate these origami designs were and how much time and patience went into crafting them. A small collection began to build up on my desk as months went by and I became curious about the proce

✨New 3” Vinyl Sticker Drop✨

While I was away this past week visiting my folks in Newfoundland, I spent a lot of my down time reworking these enamel pin designs into fun colorful vinyl stickers.

I’ve added the white rabbit, painted turtle, blue jay, chickadee, blue stretching cat, sitting cat, raccoon, red fox and crow to the collection.

These bad boys are up in the shop and ready to adorn your laptops, phone cases, water bottles and notebooks. Shop 🔗 in bio.

All designs are original artwork created by me. Human designed, no AI required!

✨Allow me to re-introduce myself! 👋🏼🫣

Hi, I’m Gavin, the artist behind FoldIT Creations! My jewelry journey started completely by accident back in 2012, after I moved home to Canada from teaching English in South Korea. I was folding a lot of origami at the time, and when my Aunt asked me to turn a pair into earrings, I gave it a try—and I was hooked! One pair quickly turned into many, and before I knew it, FoldIT Creations was born.

Today, I handcraft each piece in my home studio using fine silver and beautiful Japanese chiyogami papers, blending traditional origami with modern jewelry design. I also like to create original origami-inspired enamel pins, stickers and prints—drawing on my Fine Arts background from Concordia University in Montreal. Whether I’m at my workbench, doodling on my iPad or out at a weekend market, I love sharing this little art form that all started with a single hand-folded paper crane.❤️

Note: I'm slowly moving away from Etsy and taking business over to my personal website as Etsy has become more and more difficult to profit from as a Seller. From their complete lack of seller support, to their ridiculously high fees, competition with cheaply made China-based drop shippers, it is time to break free of their BS. Hope to see you over on the website! :)
