Crafts by the Soler System began in the simplest way, sa bahay lang, creating labels for our own things. I made labels for our home, my personal stuff, and eventually for my daughter Rei’s school supplies. What started as something I did out of “pang tanggal stress” and organization slowly turned into something bigger.
Friends began asking for labels. Then classmates of my daughter. Then their parents. Before I knew it, I was designing and making stickers, decals, and personalized items for more and more people, just because it made them happy (and honestly, it made me super happy too).
Eventually, I bought my first cutting machine, tried out vinyls, and opened a tiny world of possibilities. From simple labels, I started creating:
- Sticker decals
- Name labels
- Personalized prints
- Shirts
- Tote bags
- And custom items for friends, teachers, and anyone who needed something uniquely theirs.
Every order taught me something new. Every request pushed me to grow. And every “Ang cute!” or “Grabe ang quality!” made the chaos worth it.
When the dream started to feel real, I took the leap and registered Crafts by the Soler System as a One Person Corporation, because this little passion project deserved a real home.
From there, everything expanded:
Joining StickerCon, jumping into bazaars, meeting fellow makers, and building a community of people who love tiny joys, like stickers, custom gifts, and personalized creations.
And even though I started this as a one-woman team, I’m no longer alone. I’m now partnered with my parents, just like how I’m partnered with them for the rest of their lives. They help in their own ways: with support, with presence, with the kind of “tulong” only parents can give. This business is mine, but it’s also ours.
Crafts by the Soler System is still growing, still learning, and still creating, one order, one design, one cosmic little moment at a time.
Welcome to our galaxy.
You’re one of the reasons it keeps expanding.
