Meet the Maker

Hi, I’m Amanda - Maker, dreamer, and proud glider mom of nearly 10 years. Crafty Glider was born from the joy I find in creating and the deep love I have for sugar gliders. I’ve been lucky to share my life with four amazing gliders, two of whom have sadly crossed the rainbow bridge. Their memory lives on in every toy I design, every box I pack, and every bit of this little business.

What started as a way to give my own gliders a safe, enriching environment has grown into something much bigger - A creative space where I can share not just toys, but love, intention, and a little bit of magic with glider families everywhere.

Crafty Glider is just one part of what I do. I also run a handmade art and apparel shop, where of course my love of gliders influences my creations. Everything I make is done with heart, care, and a belief in creating things that bring joy, to gliders and to the people who love them.

Thanks for being here. It means more than you know 💕

Meet the Crafty Glider crew

  • Drogo

    My first glider to steal my heart almost 10 years ago and changed my life from the moment I laid eyes on him. Drogo is truly my best friend and the reason this journey ever started. He’s pure love in glider form, and this photo captures it perfectly. We bonded immediately and deeply, and he can sense everything I feel as if we are connected. He also adores his babies with all his heart and feels everything so deeply. His capacity to love continues to amaze me.

  • Finley

    Finn is gentle, thoughtful, and full of quiet charm. He’s the kind of soul who’d give up his favorite treat just to make someone else happy. Though not related, he and Leo came together as babies 8 years ago and were bonded like twins from day one and inseparable. With his big, soulful eyes and signature tail curled atop his head like a little hat, Finn’s sweet, sensitive nature shines through.

  • Arwen

    Arwen was the queen of the crew as the only girl among three boys, and I'm pretty sure she wouldn’t have had it any other way. Sassy, stubborn, and always snacking, she was a total diva who loved being spoiled and doted on. She for sure had a sense of humor and never failed to make me laugh. Even through her battle with cancer, she kept her spark. She left us far too soon, but her light still shines in every silly moment.

  • Leo

    Leo wasn’t the youngest (technically a few weeks older than Finn), but he was the self-appointed baby of the group and made sure everyone treated him as such. With a hilariously oversized ego and a love for the easy life, he often let his brothers do the work of foraging and then demanded they share. He was bossy, lazy, and completely irresistible. Despite his antics, they adored him. Losing our little Leo in 2023 was heartbreaking.

  • Professional Treat Testers

    Before any toy or treat makes it into a box, it has to pass inspection from the real experts- this crew. They take quality control very seriously, especially when snacks are involved. If I wouldn’t trust an item for my own babies, I certainly wouldn’t send it to yours.

  • Legacy in Fur Form

    Founder, Muse, Legend.
    Meet the glider who unknowingly launched a business. This little guy is the reason Crafty Glider came to life. Before boxes and branding, it all started with falling in love with this little dude- The OG Crafty Glider. Drogo is my first glider, my forever muse, and the heartbeat of Crafty Glider.
