About Bourne Cr8tive

It all started with a TikTok video.

Watching someone transform an ordinary spoon into a beautiful ring live on screen, I was hooked. I couldn't stop thinking about it — so I started hunting. Car boot sales, charity shops, anywhere unwanted cutlery might be hiding a second life.

Then I started making. And then I started sharing.

Hi, I'm Jay — a maker, creative, and lover of giving forgotten things a second chance. Based in Eastbourne (yes, that's where the name comes from!), I've always enjoyed working with my hands and expressing myself creatively. Bourne Cr8tive gives me the perfect outlet to do just that — whilst helping the planet one spoon at a time.

What began as curiosity quickly became a craft, and a community. Today, Bourne Cr8tive is home to handmade spoon rings and upcycled jewellery — each piece recycled, reimagined, and made with care right here on the East Sussex coast. No two pieces are ever quite the same.

You'll find me sharing the making process with nearly 10,000 followers on TikTok, selling at my local Eastbourne market stall, and on Vinted where I'm proud to hold a 5-star rating with over 288 sales. Every piece is wearable art — crafted with intention, worn with personality.

Quirky. Eco-friendly. Handcrafted with heart. That's Bourne Cr8tive.
