Resin pieces and candles, made to order

Alison Burns makes coasters, trays, keepsakes and candles for the person who asks for them. Tell her the colours, the occasion and who it's for, and she'll make it.

Nothing here comes off a shelf. Each piece is made after you ask for it, so it can be the colour of the room it's going in, carry a name or a date, or hold the flowers from the day you want to remember.

How an order works

Four steps, and you know the price before anything is made.

Start an order
  1. 1

    Tell Alison what you're after

    Use the order form. A photo of the colours you like, or the room it's for, helps.

  2. 2

    Talk it through

    She'll come back to you with questions: size, shape, finish, scent, anything to go inside.

  3. 3

    Agree the price and the date

    You get a price and a date before she starts. Nothing is made until you say yes.

  4. 4

    She makes it

    Resin needs days to set hard and candles need time to cure, so the sooner you ask, the better. Collect it in Burnley, or she'll post it to you.
