A little about Nicole

Hi, I’m Nicole — the creative brain, messy workbench, and glitter-covered hands behind Nicole’s Custom Creations. I’m a Salem, Virginia mom to a spunky little girl, wife to a wonderfully supportive husband, and a maker who’s been obsessed with crafting since I could hold a glue gun.

Crafting is my creative playground, and I love working across a wide variety of mediums to bring meaningful ideas to life. From laser engraving to sublimation and vinyl designs, I enjoy blending techniques that make each piece feel truly one‑of‑a‑kind. I create custom apparel, handmade jewelry, and seasonal home décor, along with unique upcycled projects that give old items new life. Some of my favorite things to make are personalized ornaments and custom sports medals, where I get to combine precision, creativity, and meaningful details that celebrate memories and milestones. 

Whether it’s a handcrafted gift, a laser‑engraved keepsake, or a special piece for an event, every item is made with care, creativity, and a genuine love for the craft.

I'd love to make something unique for you, so feel free to contact me if you have ideas you'd like to see come to life.
