All Hail Louise!
In 2010, Louise McGettrick made a decision that would affect my finances forever – she invented the first Fuggler!
After getting desperate trying to find Christmas presents, Louise accidentally stumbled on an Ebay listing for a ziplock bag of false teeth. She was so intrigued she decided to buy them and create some hideous monsters. She found 6 sheets of felt and made 6 different creatures. By her own admission they were awful. But they sold. So she made more.
I am grateful she did because the Fugglers world is my safe haven.
Her blog about her accidental Fugglers business is well worth a read here and she has a picture of the original 6 she made!
In 2018, she sold the Fuggler brand and now Spin Master toys are responsible for the collection of weird and wonderful Fugglers and the amazing collaborations that now exist (Spongebob collection is my favourite!)
Take inspiration from Louise – you never know what other people will love (or hate) She had no idea her original Fugglers would be so popular but she still followed her instinct and created them.
Follow your dream – you have no idea where it may take you
I am not brave enough to create my own Fuggler yet but one day! If you are feeling in a creative mood, I recommend CraftBuddy shop. I like to buy one of their Crystal Art packs for a weekend activity (the keyrings are fab!)
