Twistopia’s journey began with a little dog named Lucky—my childhood companion, my confidante, and my very best friend. From the day my mom brought her home, Lucky was always there for me, making every ordinary moment feel special.

Years later, while I was away at college, my mom called to tell me that Lucky had peacefully passed away from old age. The loss was heartbreaking. For a long time, I couldn’t look at her photos or videos—the pain was too raw.

But as time went on, I realized I wanted to celebrate the joy Lucky brought into my life, not just mourn her absence. I started searching for ways to keep her spirit close and stumbled upon the magic of handcrafting little keepsakes. Each twist and turn helped me reconnect with her memory, bringing comfort and healing.

That first attempt to capture Lucky’s unique spirit in miniature form soon turned into a passion for hands-on creation. We realized the real magic isn’t just in the finished piece, but in every step of the making—each twist, every laugh, and the pride of creating something truly personal with your own hands.

Tired of generic, mass-produced trinkets, we dreamed up a DIY kit that would let every pet lover tell their own story. We’re continually inspired by the joy, creativity, and love our customers pour into every project—and we’re grateful to be a part of your stories.
