Etsy Dallas is a 501(c)(3) non profit association of creative entrepreneurs. Founded in 2007 our focus it two fold-to help support and spread the word about the amazing handmade makers in the DFW area and to share and teach the community about the handmade movement. Twice a year we put on two huge art + craft shows in Dallas TX - the Spring Bash in May and the Jingle Bash in November.

✨ Peer-to-peer knowledge sharing
✨ Networking & collaboration
✨ A true creative support system

Whether you knew us as Etsy Dallas or you’re new here, this is your invitation.

Community over competition.
Connection over isolation.
Growth — together.

We’re rebranding to Handmade DFW Collective!

Nearly two decades ago we started as Etsy Dallas, supporting local Etsy sellers.

As our community grew beyond Etsy, we became Dallas M.A.D.E.

But we quickly realized that our makers, artists, and small businesses span across North Texas, so we’re stepping into a name that truly fits.

We are now Handmade DFW Collective!
Same heart. Same mission.
Just more room for our growing handmade community.

This year, she’s unveiling her newest creations, cups with stainless steel straws, debuting exclusively at the Jingle Bash.
